The Last Day Of Our Cruise....

Finally!!!!I have made it to Day 7..... This was the last Day At Sea. I took over 500 pictures on this trip and it has been harder then I thought it would be to choose the best pictures to post. I know you all are glad that I am finally moving on! But.........I am sure I will be posting some of the pictures for FFF and Wordless Wed. ;0) I do hope you have enjoyed them as much as we do! This was one awesome vacation!

The 8th day we returned to Tampa and then headed home on our 10 1/2 hr drive, that was the worst part of that whole entire trip! I hate driving for that long!!! Thank goodness there was only 3 of us. I don't know how 7 of us in 1 vehicle would have been....I'm thinking not that good!

Anyway the last day we just played and chilled........... Josiah and I hit the water slide........

After a few times down the slide, I laid out and enjoyed my view while Josiah continually went down the slide about 30 more times.

.

I love this bikini! I had to have it when I saw it at Old Navy!

Self portrait......... ;0)

I ran my 3 1/2 miles before dinner time! Let me tell you.... It is difficult running on a moving ship! First I was running on the top of the boat and the wind about blew me over the rail....then I went to the gym and decided I like the top better because the wind at least kept you cooler!

Then we got all cleaned up for dinner! I know this is a blurry picture but Josiah wanted me to take a picture of his dinner of Cornish Hen. He also had Lobster Bisque. Pretty daring for a kid I think. But by this night we were all SICK of eating!!! None of us could finish our meal ...no matter how good they were! I even made myself sick on the Hot Chocolate Melting Cake! Mmmm ...I could eat one now though ;0) I gained about 5 lbs on this trip because all we did is EAT!!!! Plus... I did not run as much as I usually do for being sick.....But I did get a few good days in!

This is what we found in our room waiting for us...at turn down.

Then we ended our day and our trip with this view................ How Beautiful!

I'm ready to go again!!!!!!! Or at least on another adventure ;0)!

Belize Part 1

Belize was our last stop, Day6....... The ship had to anchor 5 miles off the land because the depth of water. There are so many little islands all around Belize. We had to home a boat to take us to the main land.

These are a few pictures taken from where we docked.

Before it was time to go on our excursion we did some shopping at the flea market.

These pictures were taken from our tour van, while heading to Altun Ha (The Mayan Ruins).

This tree was covered in cactus.

A little hut we saw on our way.

Some pretty, but weird flowers. I think they call them Lobster Claws.

Altun Ha (Mayan Ruins) The ruins date back to 150-200 BC.

Some of these pyramids have not been unearthed yet.

We did a lot of this................

and this.............

Beautiful!

Stay tuned for more pictures to come..............

Happy 4th Of July

Wishing everyone a fun and safe holiday!

Belize Part 2

This was one of the faces that was in the largest pyramid. It was one of the only ones still intact.





Climbing up.............the largest pyramid....................








We were almost to the top......If you look carefully you can see Karlton standing on one of the ruins below.

We finally made it to the top! It was a really hard climb, those stairs were very steep and dangerous!

Looking down at Karlton again......







Josiah posing at the top of the pyramid over looking the jungle.

Now its time to head down..... I think that was worse then going up. My knees were quivering all the way down. I wasn't afraid ...maybe a little cautious... it was just that strenuous!

Some jungle shots.........................

When we got to the bottom there was a boy asking us if we wanted to hold a baby croc. I wasn't interested but the guys sure were!

This little fellow was an entrepreneur. He had caught this baby croc a few weeks back in a pond. The only thing that kept his mouth shut was a hair band. eek! He charged a $1 a picture or 6 for $5. Pretty smart boy!

This lady was making my jade earring that I had bought to match my necklace. I paid $10 for both pieces.

Me doing a little shopping before we had to leave .

But before we left I grabbed a coconut milk for a little treat. I actually bought it for Siah but Karlton drank the most. It was to hot to be refreshing and we ended up getting a little car sick on the way back.

Once we made it back to the pier we had to grab a taxi boat to head to the ship.

As we started back out to sea we passed all these little gorgeous island.........

This was Goff's Caye, which we want to come back to, to snorkel.

Here is our little towel buddy that was waiting for us that night when we came back to our room.
