Cruise!



It's been a LOONG time comin.... but here it is, pictures from our cruise in October! We have so much fun and feel so lucky to be able to go on fun trips like this with Tyler's job. We met some great fun and made fun memories! We started by flying to Puerto Rico and getting on the ship there. We went to 6 islands; St. Thomas, St. John, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Barbadoes, and St. Maarten. They were all so beautiful, but our favorites were St. Lucia and Barbadoes.


First stop: St. Thomas

Megan's Bay. It was named one of the most beautiful beaches, and it sure was!!


We saw a jellyfish!! It came right to the shore and some guy was holding it! I touched it and it was all slimey.


Mikell, Me, Abby getting our first tans of the trip :)

Our taxi driver took us to a look out of Megan's Bay. You'll see from these pictures why it was named one of the most beautiful beaches.



Us and Mike and Brittany. We LOVED watching karaoke every night after dinner!

Walking the ship at night. They would play a movie on the big screen every night.

View from the balcony in our room :)

Barbados. We toured around the whole island. We tried to get our taxi driver to take us to Rihanna's house but he wouldn't! Haha. After we went to probably my favorite beach of the trip and went snorkeling.

Mikell, Tiffany, Me Abby

Our friend, Snake, climbed a tree and got us a coconut



Getting ready to go snorkeling.... I was a little nervous

I think I was out there for about 5 mintues. I may have had a small freak out! I don't like seeing what is underneath me



The water was SO clear, I couldn't believe it!



St. Lucia: We toured around the whole island. It was so rich and green! Along the way we stopped and got fruit from the fruit farms, got mud baths, hiked to a waterfall, relaxed at a black sand beach, and saw the tetons



Mud baths- if you watch The Bachelorette, they did this on the season with Ashley! So cool!




I couldn't believe how hot the water was!

Black sand beach

The hill leaving the beach was so steep our taxi couldn't make it up with all of us in there! Haha! Our taxi guy who's name was Tappy-tap said on the way up "uhhhhh I don't think we're going to make it man" so we hopped out and huffed it up the hill!On the way back to the boat after a long day!


St. Kitts: We had a relaxing day on this beach with massages (probably the best one I've ever had) and lots of tanning!

This GIANT pig lived on the beach. He was the pet of the locals I guess haha

St. Maarten: Tyler's boss rented jet skiis for all of us for the day! We had a blast!

These little girls suckered Tyler into buying their "manly" shark tooth neclaces! Ha

Before we flew home, we had some time to kill before we had to be at the airport so we toured around Puerto Rico for a couple hours.
We had such a great time and were sad to come home! Thanks to Vivint for a GREAT trip!
