Thankfully we made it back to the ship in one piece after dodging vehicles of every shape and size all day. Tyler is a great driver thanks to the practice he gets at home on ours. Otherwise I would have been a wreck.
And then we ran into Steve also returning to the ship. One of the best things about the week was always running into members of our family here or there.
Everybody had some color and lots of enthusiasm for life by this point in the trip!
We loved going to shows together at night after dinner.
Our second shore excursion was in the Cayman Islands. We sort of fell into this adventurous day of snorkeling and swimming with sting rays which was offered to us as we got off the ship. It was an adventure for sure though!
I could not get over the blue-ness of the water there! It was breathtaking.
Meet Mr. Iguana. There was lots of these big puppies all over the place.
We enjoyed our 30 minute boat ride even further out to sea. At one point Ali and I asked ourselves "where in the world are we?!" Seriously, we had flow to Florida, gotten on a ship to go further, then got on a boat to go even further out!. We were FAR away from our children, perhaps a little too far! But it was beautiful and special.
The fish below us were great, awesome snorkeling spot.
And the sting rays were friendly!
Soaking up the moment in the sun on the ride back in.
The boys had fun with sports tournaments. They took gold in volleyball! :)
There was even an ice-skating rink on-board (but the boys didn't try their hands at that).
Final celebrations for the happy couple and for Natalie's birthday.
SUCH A GREAT VACATION! Thank you everyone!! :)
