A wonderful getaway. Another honeymoon. Dropped the kids off at grandma's house and flew away to the sunshine and beaches! What could be better? Especially when we received my most beloved new camera that I have been coveting for awhile now, the canon rebel! I was so excited to try it out on our trip. These are the beautiful scenic pictures I took . . . .
. . . And these are the scenic pictures my dear husband took! Is there something wrong with this picture? Something that does not belong??? Oh yes, all the other women that aren't me!!! Rhett was having a great time getting in all the scenic sites around the pool. He really likes the new camera. How did I end up marrying my Father!!! I should have known better than to marry a scorpio. Funny thing is I ended up joining him in finding the best beach bod. Then when we got home Rhett shared his good fortune with my Dad! Wow, I guess I have been married way to long when our romantic getaway turns into this!
This is a ice sculpture and watermelon sculptures, wow, pretty amazing. This was in the dining room.
Jamaica was a beautiful island. We loved it there. We had a great time just taking in the sites.
Rhett tried parasailing. He liked it, but not quit the thrill he thought it would be. But then again we are talking about Rhett, the pilot.
The Dunn's Falls that we hiked up was probably one of the highlights. It was gorgeous and so much fun to hike right up the waterfall.
We shopped a little bit, but we didn't have much time, just got some presents for the kids.
I would say that these chickens are hanging out on the wrong side of town! HA HA!
The other island we stopped at was Grand Cayman. We had a great time here too. The highlight here was swimming with the stingrays. They would come right up to you and rub your leg. They are an amazing animal. We got to hold them and everything. At first, as you can see, I was a little hesitant, but they grew on me after awhile. Our guide told us that if we kissed there fin we would have 7 years good luck, but if we french kissed it we would get good luck for life. I opted for the fin, and thought I would visit again in another 7 years. Rhett however, decided to go for the big one. And here he is french kissing a stingray! After that all the guys in our group couldn't look like pansies so they had to do it too. What a stud, except for the fact that I am the other person kissing those lips.
The snorkling was really fun also.
Rhett getting in a few laps around the track before we go and eat again for the 20th time that day. I just sat and watched and waved when he went by. Vacation is no time to exercise!
This is going to be our yaht someday. We thought the name was perfect.
Rhett decided to try the duck one night for dinner. And yes, it is still our mutual decision that duck should not be eaten by humans! Domesticated duck or wild duck, it is all the same, disgusting. To bad they are so much fun to shoot. I was brave and decided to try escargot. Although I actually enjoyed the flavor, I believe that it made me sick the next day. So our consensus was that we just are not fancy rich food lovers. We love the farm home cookin'. Shooooot, are we redneck's or what!
In the end, I was the girl that Rhett took the most pictures of. And I guess that's what counts! We had such a great time. We are sold on cruising. It was fun to getaway with just the two of us. I think I remember why I like him so much! However, I don't know when I turned into one of those parents that talked about their kids the whole time we were gone! How is it that you can't wait to get away, but the moment you do you miss them. Thanks to Mamma they had just as much fun as we did. And that was the calm before the storm . . . kid number three coming soon to add more chaos, and of course more fun!
