Cruisin 2011 Part 4

I found a few more pictures to add from our trip.
Here's a few of us at the fort in San Juan before we left.

Here's a better picture with the monkey without my wild hair.

I forgot about our underwater camera. Here's a sea urchin and if you look close you can see the body and legs of a crab.

Can you see the fish with the stripes? He was cool. He would burry himself in the sand and camoflauge himself to his surroundings.

More fish.

Cruisin' 2011 Part 3

Ok, so you might want to skip down to part 1 and work your way up if you want to look at these in order :)
Our 4th stop was St. Kitt's. This place was really neat too. It had monkey's all over the place. Here, we did an ATV ride that was really fun and then we went to a beach for the rest of the day.
I had to put this one in...a face only a mother could love ha ha.

This was a place we stopped at after our ATV ride. It was really pretty!

We went to a beach called Ship Wreck and these monkey's were just wild there.

Kade enjoying some sun.


This was such a cool beach with some pretty good snorkeling. It was a lot of fun!

Here's Kade with a baby monkey. Wow, my hair is sure crazy! That is what you call snorkel/beach day hair I guess.

Our 5th and final stop was St. Maartin.
Here we all (when I say all, I mean all 17 of us) crammed into a van and did an island tour. It was kinda interesting because it's only 38 square miles but it's half Dutch and half French. After the tour we went to a beach. It was a gorgeous beach, but all beaches in St. Maartin are "European Style" which means clothing optional. So we all tried to keep to our little space and not look around too much. :)


One last shot before heading home.

I BIG, HUGE, THANK YOU to Dennis and Kenea for such an amazing trip! We had so much fun and came home with so many memories! Also,  a BIG, HUGE, THANK YOU to my mom for keeping Paxten for us!

Ok, so here's another look at Trunk Bay Beach.

 Our 2nd stop was in Barbados. Here we did a Segway excursion with Kade's dad. It was pretty fun!
They gave us hair nets to wear with our helmets....they were awesome! Ha ha.

A beach we rode the segways to.
I thought these rocks and blow hole's were really cool.

One more stop at another beach before going back to the ship.

Our 3rd stop was St. Lucia. This was probably my favorite stop. It was just so gorgeous!

Here we did an island drive tour and beach.

Cruisin' 2011 Part 1

Well, we made it home safe and sound from our Southern Caribean Cruise. We had SO MUCH FUN! We were able to have 5 ports of call, and our ship left from San Juan. We had amazing weather and just had such a good time. Here's the pictures...hope you don't get too bored looking at them!
Here we are in San Juan. This is some kind of capital building I think.

We walked up to this fort, it was really neat!

A tunnel inside the fort

Also, part of the fort.

Standing on a pile of cannon balls.

We walked down to Old San Juan. I thought these cobblestone roads were cool.

Our first stop, St. Thomas USVI.

Our excursion for this day was riding a boat over to a different island, St. John. We saw this pirate ship on the way over and thought it was cool.

Here's the beach we went to from up above. It was called Trunk Bay.

Trunk bay was such a pretty beach! I could have sat there all day long in the sun!
More pictures to come....
