We're back!!

We are finally back from the cruise and we had an AMAZING time! We had a blast and Jayda absolutely loved the cruise. She was so friendly and social and everyone seemed to fall in love with her. I don't think many babies go on cruises (probably because you have to pay for them like their an adult), so I think it made all of the crew miss their babies back home so they became very fond of her. It was soooo sweet! The 2nd day on the ship (monday) was my birthday and also Lauren and Greg's 1 year wedding anniversary. So, we had a lot to celebrate. I had a wonderful birthday. Lauren and I started the day out getting pedicures in the spa with a wonderful ocean view. It was the best pedicure I've ever had! Later on that day we went to a wine tasting. I've never really been to a real wine tasting, so that was really cool. They had a plate of appetizers and would tell you what to eat with each wine. That night we went to the Captain's welcome party and then we went out dancing while Nanna and Pawpaw watched miss Jayda. Jacob and Jayda also got me some really cute jewelry, so that was really sweet. On Tuesday we took Jayda swimming, relaxed and worked out. On wednesday we arrived in Jamaica. We decided to stay on the boat for the day instead of taking Jayda out in Jamaica. We found out that we would not be able to take the car seat wherever we went and we know how crazy the drivers are in Jamaica, so we just hung out on the boat for the day. I went and got my facial that morning that Jacob's brother Klint and his girlfriend Brandy had gotten me for my b-day (thanks guys)! Jacob ended up getting off the boat later that afternoon and went shopping for a while. On Thursday we arrived in the Cayman Islands. The 3 of us along with Jacob's parents all got off the ship early that morning and took a shuttle to the 7 mile beach. It is a beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear blue water, so pretty! Jayda played on the beach and we relaxed in the shade. We were only there for a couple of hours. After that Jacob and Jayda went back on the ship because Jayda was badly needing a nap. Suzie and I stayed in Grand Cayman a couple more hours and did some shopping. On Friday Jacob and I went snorkeling in Cozumel. We saw some amazing fish and had a great time. Our tour guide was wonderful. He even took food to feed the fish so all of the fish would follow him around and we'd be right there with fish swimming all around us, it was so cool! The next few days we just relaxed on the ship, went to the pool and ate a TON of food! I think all 3 of us gained some weight! We really did have an amazing time and I'm so thankful that so many of our friends and family got to enjoy this time with us! Can't wait for the next vacation!!
