Yup another Cruise

It's true we went on another cruise last week. We were lucky enough to leave cold Utah and head south to cold Florida. We just so happened to pick the week that Florida reached their all time low temperature, so lucky us. Even though some days were overcast and a little to cool for me for cruising time it was still a blast. We went to St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Grand Turk. Each island we did about the same thing, rented a scooter, take pictures, go swimming and Joe even got his sugar cane juice that he has been craving and talking about ever since he left Brazil.


We rang in the new year on the plane and in a taxi.

Joe's favorite spot on the ship was in the spa watching his football games.

In St. Maarten we went to a beach that was in front of the airport. Planes would fly right over us about every 5 minutes which was really cool.

Unfortunately planes take off there as well. When looking at this awesome sign you would think that a plane taking off would blow you away. We got the privilege to see a plane take off and it didn't blow you away at all. All it did was blow sand at you. Not friendly sand either it was hard rough sand being embedded into your skin. That part not as fun but kinda funny now.

In ST. Thomas we rode around on a scooter since the weather wasn't the best. St. Thomas has the nicest people and this lady let us go in her backyard to take pictures of her beautiful view.

Of course we have formal night were we always eat way too much. That sick feeling you get eating too much though was totally worth it.

In Grand Turk this was about it. We rented a scooter and saw the island which had about 2 buildings down town, random sheep, bulls, horses and cows.

And this was the end of the cruise, Joe getting in his last meal. I'm not sure what everything on that plate was but he ate every bite.
Cruises are so so much fun and leave us relaxed, fat and sad to come home but are so worth it every time.

Oh my word, you were not joking about that plate of food! No wonder his pants were a little tight last night. It looks like you guys had a blast, and next time we are coming with you.
