I'm sooo grateful to have my wonderful husband Todd to spend the vacation with- he's the best.
Everything about our week was perfect and I wouldn't have changed a thing. We went on a Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas ship- the largest ship there is. The shows were amazing and the fancy dining every evening was so much fun!
We went with my sister Lisa and her husband Alan. I'm so glad that we could go together, they are wonderful. We enjoyed staying up late playing Ticket to Ride, talking, and getting 2 am pizza and cookies (and fruit, brownies. sugar-free lime mousse, etc.)
Our first port was in Labadee, Haiti. Todd went on the world's largest zip line and we all relaxed in hammocks by the beach and bargained with the Haitians for some maracas and bracelets.
2nd stop Jamaica. We got a Taxi and were shown all around and climbed up Dunn's River Falls. 
We loved the people's accents and would like to take on a bit more of their "irie" don't worry about a thing attitude.
Our 3rd port was the beautiful Grand Cayman. Todd, Lisa and Alan went snorkling while I slept in and then met Todd to walk around and go to the turtle farm.
When we got back on the boat we participated in the Amazing Race running from top to bottom and one end of the boat to the other answering questions and doing physical challenges. It was very fun! That night was another formal night.
The boat had an ice skating rink.
And a rock climing wall.
And Todd whooped it up on the flowrider!
Also miniature golf, basketball, ping pong and shuffle board. We really loved it and feel thankful to have been able to have enjoyed such a wonderful vacation. Now things are back to normal- the kids still fight and I've got laundry and dishes to do. But I'm trying to appreciate them more and make the most out of every minute! (Man, was it fun)
