Snips and Snails

I can't believe it's taken me this long to post pictures of our cruise in February. It was amazing. Looking back at the pictures makes me homesick for that boat! If you can even call it a boat. More like a floating hotel. Allure of the Sea is Royal Caribbeans newest boat, at least at the time of our cruise anyway. It was huge. We didn't really go around and take pics on the boat- it would have taken all day! There was a rock climbing wall, zip line, ice skating rink, restaurants, and sooo many fun stores to shop in. At night we went to a diving show called Oceania. It was kind of like Cirque Du Soleil on water. The performers dive off little tiny platforms that were so high into a small pool. That was one of my favorite nights. My favorite thing to do on the boat, besides eating of course, is to sit on the deck and enjoy the sun and sea breeze. Of course Ty is the total opposite. He spent all of our days at sea playing basketball. Like for hours. I don't know how he did it. The weather was beautiful. I felt bad our kids were stuck in freezing Utah. I called my parents one day and it was 5 degrees.

All dressed up in my fancy clothes.



My handsome husband. The formal nights were so fun. Like prom all over again!

This was in Cozumel. We went snorkeling and then wandered around town and had lunch. After lunch Ty and I got a cab and went to a beach for a few hours. That beach was so quiet and relaxing
I did not want to leave!! Then I thought of my kids and decided I better:)




At Costa Maya we went on a tour of some Mayan ruins. I can't even imagine how people were able to build these pyramids thousands of years ago. It was a really fun tour.

This is the jungle behind the pyramids.

We hiked a lot. I wore the wrong shoes. I though people were shorter back then - so why are these steps so high?

This is the beach at Labadee, Haiti. I wasn't sure what to expect at Haiti but it was actually really nice. They recently built a dock with a BBQ area. It was really, really hot there. I had a really bad sunburn that day so we didn't stay at the beach long. Shocker I know. Who would have thought a redhead would burn...

It's always hard to go back to the day to day routine after a cruise. You get used to not having to cook, clean, make your bed. Reality hits pretty fast though!! My three little boys make sure of that:) Mom, whats for dinner? Mom, where are my socks? Mom, Trey kicked me!! Ahhh gotta love it.
