Pictures

My pictures got cut off :( I'm still trying to figure this thing out!

Caribbean Honeymoon

We just got back from our honeymoon in the Caribbean! It was a week long cruise that stopped in the Grand Cayman Islands, Rotan Honduras, Cozumel Mexico, and Princess Cays (Bahamas). Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with us, but never the less we had a good time! After all, not having to work, cook, or clean for a week is always great! :) Here are some pictures from our trip.


Here is how it started! LOL! We took a red-eye flight to Fort Lauderdale, FL. We arrived at 5am and didn't get on the ship until 1 or so...



This is how tired we were! But that's ok, because we were on vacation!



The first thing we ate. It quickly became Eric's favorite!



Lucky Lucky! At the "Send off" party they had a raffle, and I won a $25 gift certificate for the flower shop on the boat! I always win ;)



Grand Cayman. Probably one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and it was too cold to get in :( This is also the beach that the Corona commercials are filmed.



On our Grand Cayman tour we went to a turtle farm and were able to hold the turtles!!




This is Hell, both literally and figuratively! Lol! Our Grand Cayman tour stopped at some pretty silly places, this being one of them. This is a town called Hell that is literally a shop and post office, and that's it! I couldn't stop laughing because the tour was so ridiculous.




Rotan. We did a zip-line tour!! It was WAY fun! I highly recommend it to anyone!





We also went snorkeling in Rotan!! It looks cold, but it was surprisingly warm! There were lots of fishies too!!




This is Cozumel! SOOOOO Beautiful! We went on a tour of Maya ruins!!! So up my alley! Eric liked it too! We had an amazing tour guide AND the beach was the MOST beautiful beach I've EVER seen!

Aww :)


Our ship, a Maya mask and La Playa de Carmen! (Mexico)

This is a Jaguar statue made of Onyx. Did you know that Onyx changes color in the light?! It turns gold! The center is the Maya Calender, often confused with the Aztec calendar... The movie "2012" says that the world will end in 12-12-2012 because that's when the Maya calendar ends, but film shows the Aztec calendar! LOL! AND The Maya calendar doesn't end in Dec, it ends in the Spring (I think)... Oh Hollywood!


The first picture is of the Maya ruins. I think the complex is called Tuclum, but I'm not sure. I can't remember :(
Princess Cays



These photos were taken by Eric... Can you guess why?!
We are now, as we are brought to the end of our trip, we find ourselves back where we began!

Pictures from Frisbee Golf



Birthday celebrations!

Last Saturday was my birthday, and Eric and I had a day filled with fun activities! We started the day off with a nice bike ride down to the beach, after which we came home and relaxed for an hour or so. Then we went to El Dorado park and played Frisbee golf (courtesy of Ryan Wilson). Then we went to dinner at Chilli's where I had my favorite tortilla soup and a chocolate volcano mountain with ice cream (which we shared :) )! I took some pictures of us frisbee golfing, but I am too lazy to put them on the computer right now! lol! I will later :)

Well, I have to get my day going! I had to wait for the repair guy to come this morning and do something about the mold that has decided to make a home around ALL of our windows! The windows in our apartment are so crappy and gather so much condensation that water drips off of them and mold starts to grow... I've already cleaned it once, so this time I had them do it! If they're not going to replace my windows then they can come and clean it every time! HA!
So I've decided to cave and make a Blog for Eric and me. Hope my life proves as interesting as all of yours!
