These are some of the pictures we purchased from the cruise ship. I scanned them in crooked. Forgive me. :)

Formal nights
We had 2 formal nights while on our cruise. Yes, Jason and I matched. Please don't make fun!
Also, Jason surprised me one night by having our room decorated for our anniversary. We had non-alcoholic champagne (yucky-I don't recommend it) and white and milk chocolate dipped strawberries. I also got a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Last but not least, Cozumel, Mexico
Our last port was Cozumel, Mexico. We rented a jeep and wandered around where ever we wanted. Our first stop was at some Mayan ruins. Some of the buildings (ruins) have been there since the 1200s. It was amazing. It was blazing hot there and I had to keep pausing everywhere that I could find something even resembling shade and attempt to cool off.
As we were walking around I kept seeing little piles of droppings (aka poop.) I couldn't figure out what in the world was leaving them until we stumbled across several iguanas. I kept picturing the lizards that are in the movie "Holes" so I was a little disturbed by them.
After suffering from a heat stroke walking around the ruins and getting into our dark blue jeep without a/c we stopped at a restaurant at the side of the road that opened to a beautiful sandy beach. The sand was so fine and soft. I loved just burying my toes in it! We had a blast driving around and touring the island. We can't wait to go back so if anyone is interested let me know and we can plan a group trip!

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
I didn't want to post everthing about my cruise all at once so I'm spacing it out over a few days!!! Our 3rd port was Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. This one was my favorite because we chartered a catamaran out to a reef and snorkled.
After we snorkled we went to Stingray City and played with the stingrays which was against my nature because we have them in Mexico where our cabana is and the last thing you want to do is make any contact with them. We do everything we can to keep them as far away from us as possible. The stingrays in Stingray City were very large but very friendly. They are used to people and were a lot of fun to hold and smooch (see photo.)

Ocho Rios, Jamaica
In Ocho Rios, Jamaica we hiked Dunns River Falls. It got frustrating at times because there were, literally, hundreds of people climbing up these falls. You go with a guide and are forced to hold hands with complete strangers to prevent people from falling down. The waterfall is 600 feet long and empties into the ocean. It was beautiful!

Labadee, Haiti
The first port that we went to was Labadee, Haiti. We didn't do anything too exciting besides sit on the beach all day. It was so relaxing.

Best Wedding Entrance Ever
I don't plan to ever get remarried but if I did, it would be a blast to do something like this. I think that sometimes people get too wrapped up into the most perfect wedding and they forget that it is a celebration.
