It was time to leave the kiddos and head off to a warmer place! We hadn't been on a trip since....Hawaii?? 2010? Doesn't matter. It had been long enough. We had a great time. But we were excited to get off that boat!
Cruise 2014: Western Caribbean
Boat: Caribbean Princess
We spent the first day getting on the boat and orienting ourselves. We had wonderful food! Every night! Our favorite was the beef medallions which were so tender. The days that were spent at sea were filled with activities. We were in a paper airplane contest which we both got a prize in. We enjoyed movies under the stars and some great shows. There was a comedian, musician, dancers, & a magician. The musician was my favorite. We enjoyed the trivia games, salsa dancing, running on the treadmill which proved to be very difficult some mornings with the movement of the boat, formal dining nights, and the best part was the ports and the FOOD! seriously.

my favorite by far. it is so beautiful! lots of green and the beaches were immaculate. we took a ride to the zip line with lady that does tours as a side job. she told us so much about the island. it was neat to learn about it.

| So Anita gets us to kiss and then misses the pict! it was funny cause the people around were cheering for us. paddle boarding is a lot harder than it looks! Jerek fell in 4 times and i was the slow one, but didn't fall in! |
3rd stop: Belize City, Belize
We booked this excursion through the cruise line. We had to meet our group at 6:45! Already not a fan. We then took an hr bus ride to our river cruise. The cruise was 30+ mins on a speedy boat: which meant no talking and hair whipping everywhere! But the ruins were pretty awesome.
