Well, we've been back for a little over a week now and have been busy ever since. I just posted the pictures to my Facebook account. If you have a FB, then click here. If you don't or aren't 'FB Friends' with me, then click here for part 1 and here for part 2.
We had a great time this year. It was just the 5 of us this time. We stayed at the resort most of the time this year and took advantage of the kids activities that were offered. Our resort has the BEST concierges on the island. I'm not a drinker AT ALL. I hate the stuff actually. But I had to sit next to Lucy on the way there and she talked non-stop the entire 2.5 hour flight. Then when we got there, Danny had left his cell phone on the plane and there were ants EVERYWHERE in our rental van. I was not pleased. I was tired and cranky and when we pulled up to the resort, Laura (one of the concierges) brought me a Rum Punch and said that my husband insisted that I needed it! He was right and it was really good.
We hung around the resort on Sunday, went snorkeling and played in the pool we went for a walk on the beach too. EmmaLee and Lucy made bracelets with Lyndsey (the Activities Coordinator).
On Monday, the kids went to the Pirates Caves with Lyndsey and Danny and I got to relax! We went snorkeling by ourselves. When the kids got back we went to the grocery store and saw some very interesting items. Then we headed into town for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, The Brick House.
On Tuesday, my birthday, we went on a sailboat snorkeling adventure. Lyndsey's husband, Alan, and his friend, Dave own White Sands Water Sports and it's located right at the resort. Alan and Apollo (Dave had to stay behind) took us on this really cool sailboat to a sandbar where EmmaLee and Lucy could play in knee deep water while Alan took Danny, myself and Daniel on a snorkel tour. We saw so many fish, it was really amazing. Danny got pictures of a Lion Fish and a French Angel and a ton of others.
Tuesday night was also Kid's movie night with Lyndsey. So Danny and I got to go on a date. Lyndsey took them back to our room for us and stayed with them til we got back.
Wednesday, we were so sunburned from the sailboat that we stay in as much as possible. We leisurely drove into town stopping so I could take pictures, etc... and eventually went to see a movie at Caymana Bay. The kids were dying to see Furry Vengence. They loved it, but Danny and I didn't. Then we found this huge water fountain that shoots the water out of the ground. The kids played in that for a long time. I took a ton of pictures too. The bay had jelly fish in it that were really weird looking. I forgot to take pictures with my regular camera, but caught some with my cell phone camera.
Thursday we took Lucy 'snerkeling' for the first time. Danny taught her in the baby pool and then we headed out to the ocean. She did great and loved every minute of it until I announced that I saw a nurse shark. That freaked her out and she wanted to go in.
Friday we headed into town to go shopping. There were no cruise boats that day so it wasn't crowded, but it was HOT! We made our annual trip to the Island Glass Blowing. I love that place. We ate lunch at Hard Rock Cafe and went to the local Dairy Queen for dessert.
Saturday we hung around the resort for the last day and snorkeled and relaxed.
Overall it was great trip. I spent a lot of time reading on the beach and the kids played in the pool a lot. I have no idea what Danny was doing while I was reading, he was probably inside reading too.
Don't forget to check out the pictures! And let me know if you can't view them for some reason.
