Cruise

A couple of weeks ago Geoff and I were able to go on a cruise. It was an early graduation present for Geoff. Geoff's parents were nice enough to fly out and take care of the girls for us while we were gone. Thanks!!! We had a great time. It was nice to go on a trip just the two of us. It is something that we have never done and talked about doing all of time. So, we bit the bullet and we went. It was a 5 day cruise with stops in Grand Caymen and Cozumel, Mexico.

The weather was supposed to be great! Right?! Not so!!! We packed for summer and brought only one jacket and one pair of pants. Well, we ended up wearing that jacket and pair of pants almost the entire time. The first night on the boat there was crazy big waves. The boat was rocking so much that I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that we were going to die!!! Seriously!!! There was a drawer in our room that everytime the boat rocked back and forth it would open and close-that's how bad it was. I seriously laid there and just prayed that we would make it through the night. Geoff got sick the next morning and just laid in bed to try and sleep it off. He was feeling better by the afternoon, but the boat had stopped moving so much. The weather the next few days was about the same, cold and windy and crappy. So, we didn't do as much sun bathing as we had hoped, but still had a good time with no kids. On Tuesday we were supposed to dock in Grand Caymen. Our boat got almost all of the way there, only to find out that the weather was to crappy for us to dock and they wouldn't let us in, so we got to turn around and head to Cozumel instead. Wednesday in Cozumel was a pretty good day. We were at least able to hit the beach and swim and snorkel a little bit. Thursday was by far the best day. The sun finally decided to shine and we were warm and finally got to wear our shorts. Because of everything that happened, I don't know that we would choose to go on a cruise again, although we did have a pretty good time, just not quite what we were expecting. Here are some pics.
