Christmas Cruise

Carnival Cruise to the Cayman Islands

We went on a Christmas Carnival Cruise to the Cayman Islands for Derek's work bonus. There were about 20 of us in the group.  Dereks boss's family and then about 18 co-workers.   I was a little worried to go with all of his co-workers but they turned out to be really fun, and I even made a few new friends.    Then after we got back one of the wives invited me on a city-league volleyball team.  So that was fun!

I thought that was a cute bathing suit from target.  Turns out, its not.  But the beach was beautiful.

  Taking a ferry over to the main land, then we went and hung out at the beach all day.  This was the first day we got off the boat.  

This was one of my favorite parts.  When we got off the boat there were vendors every where trying to sell you things to do.  We didn't book any excursions because we were just on our honeymoon and not too long ago.  Then, this guy brings us to his shop and me and derek said, "why not!"  So we went on a scooter ride around Cozemel. I felt like I was in the movie how to lose a guy in ten days.  It was scary being in the city at first, but once we got out it was just us and the open road and we were riding the coast.  Beautiful!  

This was one of the beaches we stopped at.  Derek went out and swam to those floating things later in the day.  It was pretty cool having all those toys in the water.  

Some locals told us to come to this little restaurant. It was really fun because it was remote. So we stopped wherever we wanted that day.

Derek making fun of me wanting a picture with my soda.  This little hidden treasure was a really fun place.  The food was excellent.  Nice to eat off the cruise ship too!

 Derek Jumping off the tube thing, you can't really see him.  He's on top.  

We didn't take very many pictures on this trip. I don't know why. Maybe bc we felt gross from eating so much.  Word of advice. Right after you get married Don't go on two all you can eat things, and have thanksgiving and Christmas.  Don't get me wrong it was amazing!  We were spoiled this year going to Cancun and then a few months later going on a cruise.  Where will our next adventure be?  Hopefully Hawaii to visit that wonderful sister of mine!

Best 30$ ever spent

Maybe we should get a scooter? What do you think?
