2nd July 2010
July 2009 marked the 10th anniversary of our marriage! So we booked a cruise with Royal Caribbean. Neither of us had ever cruised before. We loved it! Left the kids with Aunt Janet for a weekend, and the rest of the time with Grandma Jane (oodles of thanks to both of them!). It was such a nice getaway.
Shipped out of Florida the end of September. First stop was Key West.
Audubon museum in Key West.
Sunken treasure museum in Key West.
"Little White House" in Key West
Second stop was Cosumel, Mexico. We traveled by boat and bus to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum. We were already with a tour group, but LDS tour guides spotted us right away (because of our "glow" :)), and gave us some additional insights. We really enjoyed visiting the ruins.
Huge storm blew in. A Carnival cruiseliner actually bumped into our ship because of the wind! We got
soaked on our way in from the tour.
Last stop was Belize where we squished on a speed boat and went snorkeling. That was a really cool experience, too, but I don't have a picture :( .
While at sea, we were well entertained and well fed! There were shows every night, and all sorts of fancy food. Carl enjoyed talking to the musicians, and singing karaoke, of course. We had fun meeting people, and just being together. Wish I had more pictures of the ship's interior...
Our cabin.
Little bathroom.
Old married couple!
