We're BAAAAACK!

We're back from our cruise on the Enchantment of the Seas with Royal Carribbean. We had a BLAST! Believe it or not, even my husband had a good time! He's already planning our next one!

We had one night that was formal dinner night. I was so excited becuase the dress I bought was a size 8!! I haven't worn an 8 since high school! GO ME!



We stopped at three ports on this trip including Key West, Cozumel and Belize. The picture below was from the Southern Most Point in Key West.


This was the smallest bar in Key West. We didn't have time to get a drink since we were running late getting to the ship and if you miss the ship...well...you swim!!! ;) We did however have our first beer at 10am that morning at Sloppy Joe's!

Our first towel animal! I think this was a bunny rabbit, but I'm not sure. It's cute anyways!

This was the only sunset that we saw from our balcony. The rest of them were on different sides of the ship or we were at dinner when it went down.
In Cozumel, we all did a Dune Buggy excursion. It included driving these dune buggies through the city of Cozumel and snorkeling. It was the first time any of us had snorkeled and I think we all enjoyed it. I'd definitely do it again! We saw many beautiful fish and plants on the ocean floor! I drove the girls' buggy, Dad and Jason were in their own and Uncle Denny and Uncle Scott were in one too. I have to say, those things were the hardest to drive!!!
We stopped on the side of the road to take some beautiful pics!

When we got home we found a little stow away in our suitcase!!

I have so many more pictures, but I just can't post them all here. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures in Belize. I used a disposable waterproof camera that didn't have a flash, so most of the pictures were too dark. Even so, I think Belize was mine and Jason's most favorite part of the trip. We did the zip line and cave tubing. It was a blast! Highly recommend it!!

Jason and I had a wonderful time and I truly think a cruise is the way to do a vacation. People wait on you hand and foot and you never get bored! The food was great! We couldn't get enough to eat. I don't know how many times I heard Jason say "UGH! I'm stuffed!" The only complaint I had was that I didn't get enough sleep!! When we got back on Saturday all I wanted to do was get my baby and go to sleep!
Speaking of my baby...she was so happy to see Momma when we got there. She wouldn't let me go the rest of the weekend. I think I did very well on the trip without seeing her for a week. I only talked to her on the phone once (and cried), but that was it. I was so busy I really didn't have time to think about it...thank goodness. :) Gamma had Bri so busy she didn't have time to wonder where we were either.

Weight Watchers Weigh In Review: I weighed in today for the first time since the cruise. I missed weigh in last week, so this would be for two weeks. I acutally LOST 0.8 lbs in two weeks! I LOST WEIGHT DURING A CRUISE!!! How motivating is that?? All I have to say is TAKE THE STAIRS! We never ever used the elevator while we were there which is how I think I kept from gaining during the trip. Plus that, the 30 minute hike up river in Belize was good excercise too!
