Cruise 2010

We have been very fortunate the past few years to be able to go on a cruise through my husbands work. This year we left out of Puerto Rico so we were able to go and see the sites first with Jed's brother and sister-in-law (they used to live there!!) We had an incredible time in Puerto Rico eating the food (beans, rice, and chicken) and seeing some of the island. After our two days it seemed like we should head home but instead we boarded the cruise ship for 7 days of relaxation and fun! Our trip this year took us to Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maartan, and St. Cruix. The beaches were beautiful and being 6 months pregnant that is where I spent my time! I was lucky that my sister-in-law was pregnant too so she was willing to be a beach bum with me. My favorite stop was St. Maartan. The water was crystal clear and the beach we went to was so nice with the white sand and beach chairs. Of course I had a cabana boy bring my a pina colada (virgin of course!) and sipped it while soaking up the sun. It was fun to learn a little of each of the islands and experience the culture. English is the predominant language at the ports, except St. Maartan which is half french/half dutch. The ship was incredibly beautiful. Our favorite place was Johnny Rockets where the Apple Pie was the best I had ever eaten. We visited there several times during our cruise. On lobster night I ate 3 lobsters and was quite proud of myself for it. Yummy, Yummy! All in all it was an incredible opportunity and I loved the time to just be with my hubby and enjoy our time together.

I saw your pictures. It looks like you had fun relaxing, that's what we're looking forward to most. We're staying on a resort South of Christiansted. We'll be taking the ATV tour and doing some snorkeling on some little island. We were going to try to get over to Puerto Rico but opted to keep it simple and not over-schedule the trip. We'll have to compare notes. Miss you guys!
