 Enjoying the ocean view out side Johnny Rockets!
 On the cruise we had so much fun! There was so much good food and so many things to do. One of the fun places on board what this 70’s style hamburger joint, they would dance to songs and serve you some of the best hamburgers, fries, onion rings, along with to die for deserts, apple pie alamode and oreo fudge sundaes! Did I mention it was all you can eat!
 This was the "depressing point" of the trip. We were getting off the ship and headed back to normal life where you have to cook for yourself, clean up after your self. However.... we still had 3 days left in Florida!

St Maarten

Early in the morning Jake took off with most of the group to head out for their zip line, and ropes coarse excursion. Leaving me behind with Sadie, Alyssa, Riley and Erik.  The girls, Erik and I headed out to shop while we waited for the rest of the group to finish with their excursion. We found a bunch of fun shops and ended running into most of our group while we were out and got to do a little shopping with them. Shortly after we meet up with them I decided to head back to the boat to find Jake. He had gone back to look for me =0) After a few adventures we meet back up, Jake took Sadie back to the room for a nap, and told me to go enjoy the last couple hours on the island. I meet back up with the group, some were swimming and laying on the beach and others were shopping. I joined in on the shopping for a bit and then headed back to the boat.


 This island was my most favorite of all. The views were breathtaking!


Stunning!

St Thomas





All 9 of us cousins got to go snorkeling together in St Thomas. We had so much fun and drank a lot of really salty salt water. Jake kept reminding me how much saltier it was than Hawaii. How is it that all the water is connected and one huge body of water and some water is saltier than other areas of the water. I just don’t get it. Anyone know? Anyway, we saw fire coral, sea urchins and varieties of fish and then we meet our friend CASPER the barracuda! 

 The boat captain says that this fish is friendly---- do you see those teeth. YIKES! I vote he’s not my friend. One bite and you would be missing a chunk!






Grandma and Grandpa Jones and Great Aunt Kristie and Great Uncle Erik hung out with Sadie and took her shopping with them. After we were done snorkeling we headed up to the shopping area to meet up with them. As we were crossing the street to where they were shopping, Brittany decided to take a mud bath in the street gutter so our shopping was cut short and we headed back to the boat. =) poor Britt, always the adventurous one! HAHA

Coco Cay Bahamas

 Our first stop was Coco Cay Bahamas. The beach was beautiful, white sand, blue water, and the perfect temperature for hanging out on the beach and relaxing. We got Sadie to play in the sand, at first she was a little unsure of it and then she joined in on the fun!












 While on Coco Cay my cousin Alyssa found this cool shell… to her surprise inside lived a hermit crab! YIKES! It was fun to watch everyone “play” with the shell/crab. I was a little freaked out by the creature so I stayed a safe distance away =0)
