Our Caribbean Cruise 2010!!

I like the cruise but didn't love the cruise. I think I am more of an all-inclusive resort type of person. I felt really rushed while on the shore mostly because we couldn't really see it all. We had to rush back on the boat so they didn't leave us behind. I didn't see as much of Key West and Grand Cayman as I would have liked to. BUT.....we did get to go Kayaking in Key West, which was awesome!!! We also went snorkeling in Grand Cayman. Here are so pics from our experience. :)

the mangrove trees were enormous!!


In Miami and then onto the boat





I feel so blessed to have been in the right place at the right time for this picture

Our nature kayaking trip was a blast. I got soaked but it was a blast! Thank goodness for underwater camera cases.

We had a good time but next time, I think we will go somewhere to stay for a week .

My Lily

I have been really struggling with this situation. We are moving and the house that we are moving into doesn't have a backyard right now, and when it does it will be very small. Our dog is big and she needs a large backyard to play/exercise. She stayed with family while we were on our cruise and they had a dog for her to play with all week. Since coming back home, she hasn't been the same. She mopes around the house. I would get her another dog to play with but she is sooo big by herself..... So we are hoping to find her a good home that is on a farm or acreage and hopefully there will be other dogs there.


this is Lily when she was new to our house :)
