A Little Sun Please!

Last week we were lucky enough to go on a Caribbean cruise with Mark's family! Yes, sad to say we were one of those t-shirt families. Don't we look cute though?!?! There were quite a few of us and we had Luke so it was a really fun trip, but not terribly relaxing. We didn't have good luck with weather. It rained most of the days, but we still enjoyed it!!!

Luke had a blast on the cruise. He was quite popular with all of the waiters. A lot of them knew him by name and would make fun animals out of napkins for him! It was hard to get a picture each night with him by the towel animals because he just wanted to destroy them. He did get sick one night and threw up almost the entire night. I spent the next day in the laundry room. Luke ate way too much junk food on the cruise. He was constantly getting tastes of ice cream from his cousins. Luke also discovered his love for sand. The child ate a couple handfuls of sand at each beach. Yum!!!


Our first stop was Grand Cayman. We went on a tour of the city and then to a beach. Mark loved our tour guide. He was from Jamaica and said Ya Man after each sentence. We went to a turtle farm. I thought it was pretty cool to hold the turtles, but Mark and Luke showed no interest.


Isla Rotan was our second stop. It's an island off of Honduras. Sadly it rained the entire day. Rotan is a beautiful place and I definitely want to go back when it's sunny! We braved the rain and still swam in the ocean. Luke was not a fan of the lifejacket.

Belize was just as rainy as Rotan. We decided to bag the beach and go to Altun Ha. The ruins were amazing. It was beautiful because it's right in the middle of a rain forest. When you hiked to the top all you could see was rain forest.


Finally we found a day of sun in Cozumel. It was an amazing day at the beach. There is nothing I love better than a sunny Mexican beach, eating salsa and chips and drinking Mexican Coke!!! The snorkeling was great, it felt like I was in an aquarium. We buried Luke in the sand and swam the entire day!

We had a fabulous time in the Caribbean. Thanks so much to Grandpa and Grandma Nuttall and Enrique and Tracy!!! Can't wait to go again!!!
