Cruisin'

We can no longer say we've never been on a cruise!  We recently returned from a family vacation with my parents and Jim's mom and had a great time!  We stopped in Nassau, The Bahamas where most of us went swimming with the dolphins.  I don't have pictures of this yet, but it was AMAZING!  That was the one thing I really wanted to do and I loved every minute of it.  We hugged and kissed the dolphins, danced with them and, of course, did the infamous foot push through the water.  It was really cool!  Dolphin Tale is now on my list of movies to see.  In Freeport, we visited the beach and some shops.  Then in Key West we went to Hemingway's house and did additional shopping. 

T had a great time at Camp Carnival (face painting, coloring t-shirts and puppets, reading books, running and jumping around) and choose to be with her new friends more than us.  She was always eager to see what towel animal had been created for us as we entered our room each night. 

We were in the bean bag toss, went to the comedy shows, saw the hairy chest contest (no Jim didn't participate in this), performed in the final show on Saturday night (I was Gloria Estafan - the Rhythm is Gonna Getcha), and ate tons of yummy food!

A great time was had by all.  Here are some pictures.
