<3 Carribbean Days... [ picture overload ]

7 am: SLC airport waiting for our flight to Houston.

Waiting for take off....we love posing.

Hyatt Regency in Miami-waiting for mom to check us into our hotel room.

Miami is SO pretty @ night.

We made it onto the Carnival Valor around 1 pm Sunday.
They do a safety drill: which means everyone puts on their life jacket & stands around,
pretending like most of us don't ALREADY know how to put these suckers on.

We got a good laugh tho.

The water is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. out there.

Hold onto those hats. They WILL blow away.

Belize was HOT & HUMID! It was insane. I also got my try at bartering.
I suck at it.
My mom kept telling me to walk away.

First formal night. And it is true, the food is good.
My weakness however was the soft serve ice cream.
YUM.

We were lucky and got an outside room so we had this pretty cool
window which was fun to look at and see the water moving.

Grand Cayman
aka formally known as
TORTUGA!

Again I cannot stress how amazing the water was!!
& so warm.
Haile had never been to the ocean so we enjoyed ourselves.
I am also proud to say this was the only day I got burnt.

First time I have EVER been able to float in the water.

Haile never could get her feet of the ground...

Our dining room.

One of the many different types of towel animals
we came home to after dinner.

We took pictures OF our pictures. Those things are expensive for just one!

The pretty staircase in the middle of the ship.

More of Belize.

We got henna tats too!

We thought we were so clever....

I love love LOVE sunsets.

And I love Haile.

Guess where we were.....

Key West was even MORE hot and humid than Belize.
I could never ever live there.
But it was the prettiest out of all the stops.

And back to the Real World.
I promise there were more pictures of my mom.
We did take about 450 total.

Well OBVIOUSLY the cruise was a success!
I recommend going to everyone.

But there's one thing for sure :

There is NO PLACE like HOME!
