Cruisin'

We celebrated Ty's graduation with an 8 day cruise! 

Don't ask me how we managed to leave the girls for 8 straight days...I still don't understand how I survived, but I did it without having any major breakdowns! 

I knew they were in good hands, and I knew Ty and I needed some time together. 

We flew out to Florida the night before and arrived at 5 AM (3am Utah time)

Luckily our friends had a hotel and they let us come crash for a few hours before we were all able to go check in at the ship. 

The first night on the ship we just spent exploring and figuring out what it was all about. 

Come to find out...it was all about alcohol and food. we don't drink, so we ate. A lot. 

By the end of the cruise I had gained almost 5 pounds and Ty had gained 10! 

haha and neither of us were even a little bit ashamed. :)

Day two was spent at sea. We lounged around, read a little, got an amazing couples massage, and ate. 

A LOT. (in all fairness I think I ate more fruit than I ever have in my entire life!)

We went to a comedy club and left about 3 minutes into it...we should have known it wasn't going to be the comedy we would enjoy. All four of us trailed out of there and I kept waiting for him to make fun of us on the way out, luckily he didnt.

That night was also formal night, I didn't really dress all that fancy but it was fun to fell like we were on a fancy date! 

I think it was a lot more fun for Cami and I then it was for the boys ;) 

Day 3  was our first day off the boat. 

We spent the day in cozumel and had a blast! 

Ty's only request was that we walk around the actual city for a while so he could speak spanish, 

and that's just what we did. We shopped and got a little treat at the grocery store. 

we then caught a cab to a beach that had a resort type pool and lots of water toys for us to play on in the ocean. They had a blow up trampoline, paddle boards, snorkeling stuff and some big slides out in the ocean. I LOVED this beach. 

We got back on the boat for dinner and I think we went to a show and then headed to bed. 

Day 4 was in Belize

We went cave tubing here and had a blast! It was kinda creepy because you float through long caves and they have you turn your lights out a few times. Next time we will for sure bring a waterproof camera, we were bummed we didn't get a whole lot of picutres of most of our adventures.

 On our way to the caves we stopped in a town called Hattieville. We were explaining to a lady that our daughters name is Hattie and she then told us that they started this town after a huge hurricane "Hurricane Hattie" came in and destroyed most of Belize. I told her our daughter is kind of like a hurricane too :)

Come to find out...we could have sold our Iphones for $1500 here!! We didn't find that out until after we had left...we will just have to come again next year a little more prepared!

Day 5

Roatan Bay, Honduras

This was another activity that we didn't get many pictures :( 

We did a zip line here that was my favorite part of the whole trip!! The view was AMAZING and it had 13 different platforms...a little different than the zip line in park city ;) 

Cami is 24 weeks pregnant...you can't even tell!! 

So she did a jungle walk underneath us instead.

 After they took us to a beach where we went snorkling and it was perfect! 

We paid some local $10 to take us out to a cool reef. 

They also gave us free drinks and looked at us kind of funny when we asked for Sprite ;)

Day 6 was our last island...

Grand Cayman

This was by far my least favorite island. 

It is basically the same as florida. Very americanized and everything was very expensive. 

We were going to do the sting rays or dolphins and just decided to lounge and the beach instead. 

I would definitely choose to do the dolphins or stingrays next time. 

This was also our second formal night. The guys were even more annoyed to dress up for a second time ;)

This was JUST dessert!! Haha our waiters were awesome and would bring us EVERYTHING on the meny so we could try it all ;) 

Cami talked to us about the "warm chocolate melting cake" everyday for about 6 months leading up the cruise...she was definitely right about how good it was ;)

Day 7

Our last day at sea was super rocky. Cami and I went to the gym to work off the extra weight, we played some catch phrase, took a nap and ate some more. 

By this day I was SOOOO ready to get home to my girls. 

Day 8

We left the ship at 8 in the morning, headed to the airport and hung out there for about 6 hours!! 

haha not my favorite day. We arrived in Salt lake at 11 that night and drove to pick up the girls at the hotel that Ty's parents were staying. I couldn't wait to hug and kiss those babies!

Hazyl was awake and so happy to see us! She hugged me and then grabbed Ty and wouldn't let him go. sweet Hattie was asleep and stayed asleep as we put her in the car. 

It was such a fun trip! It was so needed and Ty and I were so happy to have a little Date time :) 

It was the perfect end to Ty's college career and we were happy to use a little student loan money to fund it ;)

Thanks a million to Ty's mom who happily took off work to watch the girls for 9 whole days!! 

It was easier to leave them knowing they would be having a party for the entire time!!
