Back from the Caribbean!

Wow, it is so great to be back from our cruise! All the piles of laundry and unpaid bills...big sarcasm there....

We had a good time being pampered on our cruise! We pretty much had fun from start to finish! We got to shop, eat, lay on the beach, eat, snorkel, eat, eat, EAT, and more EATING! Wow, the food was amazing, ( 5 pounds for each of us; not bad ;) ) and it was fun to spend time with the family for meal times. Jason was like a man possessed, seeing how I relaxed the diet rules for him. We loved the gelato and pizza. Jas liked the idea that you can get meat at every meal. We were able to spend our 12th anniversary on board and they decorated our cabin; and sang to us at dinner. It was quite special! We went to the most beautiful beaches on every island. One of the best was Orient beach on St Maarten, also known as "schlong beach". It is the nude beach, and it was a sight to be seen! And 1 of us, I'm not saying whom, decided to strip down and go for a stroll with the other naked folk. I promised I wouldn't say who, for fear of massive beatings! But it was one of the highlights of the trip!!!! We also hit the "Gator Park" in the Everglades in Florida, and that was awesome!! We got to go on a air boat ride and hold a baby alligator and stuff, it was sweet!!!

All in all, it was a great trip and so many great memories were made. Thanks Mom & Dad and Kurt for putting it all together!! It was a blast!!!

Thanks to Brent & Connie and everyone for taking our little monkey's for us while we were gone. They had a good time and we couldn't have done it without you! Thanks again!

looks like good times! I think you almost need a vacation from a vactaion once you get home. A few days to get back into the swing of things before getting back to every day life! I think I need to go there now!

I can't believe you held an alligator. I don't think I could do it. I went to a nude beach while I was in Hawaii (I however, was NOT nude) and their were just old guys there with little shriveled up weiners.. it was disgusting. I'm so glad you had fun.

It looks like you had a lot of fun. Joe and I went Jan. of this year- what was your cruise line name and did you go to Grand Turk? That was our favorite.. well all of the islands were great so warm and beautiful.
My bet is on Kurt for the nude- so when will the black mailing start with the hidden photos?

Oh, the warm weather! It calls to me! What a fun time! Yup, I vote Kurt but I wonder if it was someone else because Kurt would have been loud and proud...

How nice of you and Jas to finally come home. Sheriff's Office wasn't the same without Jason especially since we were scurrying around trying to find coverage for his shifts. Anyhoo, I see beatings in Jason's future with his Schlong Beach incident. I don't imagine he was leaving 3 tracks in the sand though.

It was so relaxing. Absolutely no responsibilities! You look so great....the 5 lbs didn't even make a dent! Glad you had fun on your vacay. I LOVE the Caribbean.
