Finally ......Cruise Part 2

so here it goes i finally took some time to blog! so after we left Miami we had a day and half at sea so we did a little exploring and a lot of reading! we loved our balcony soooo much! we read out there all the time, and chase got pretty good at his model face!!! : ) chase read some dragon book named brisinger---i think--- and i read the last lecture...AMAZING! i recommend everyone read it i was in tears so many times it was so great...and then i indulged in a little one fifth avenue, the author is the lady who wrote lipstick jungle and sex and the city, it was a fun book that i still need to finish.

We first stopped in the Grand Cayman it was fun but really expensive for the most part, it was like a big out door mall, but we loved the cloudy/rainy weather so we just walked all over! they had cages of random animals everywhere and we could resist the urge to snap some shots with them.

As we were walking chase saw this giant lizard sculpture and fell in love! and there were chickens everywhere! it was really funny they would just chill outside of the cafes.

This is in Cozumel our ship was HUGE!!! we really got lost so many times ! Cozumel was the most fun we went snorkeling and laid on the beach for hours! it was great , chase snorkeled a little more while i got crispy on the beach. snorkeling was super fun but i had no idea that the salt water would get into my mouth so much!!! UGH it was disgusting! it was worth it though we found some pretty sweet little fishes!

We had a lot of fun that day just relaxing and being together! it was really funny trying to kiss with our snorkeling stuff on but we tried.

WE had a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH after snorkeling ! CHASE LOVES REAL MEXICAN FOOD!!!! YEAH!!!!! he always hates it here but it is sooo not real so we went to some little place on the street and he cleaned off his plate!!! he was in LOVE! and he got some plantanos fritos-i think that how you spell it- but its basically fried banana's they were better that the ones I've eaten in the states. chase really looked like he had some gross disease on his tongue it was a little weird.

Chase and i aren't really the biggest pop drinkers but chase decided to get a coke and he said it was the best coke ever! so i tasted it and i about died it was SO GOOD! why is there coke so much better than ours? we had to get another and we thought about bringing some home but we decided not to.....i regret that decision greatly!



After lunch we went exploring and found some really fun shops, they had a ton of stuff in them so it was heaven for me but chase could only handle so much of my shopping habits....
We found this sweet little thing that had my sweet mothers name on it(almost spelled right)
Chase really wanted to be a Mexican wrestler! hahaha it was great they had those things everywhere!

So I'm pretty sure that it isn't the smartest idea to not use sun block! i totally forgot and i got burned sooooo bad! just look at the pain on my face....chase couldn't resist taking a picture ...he thinks its funny cause he doesn't really get sun burned! i had the hardest time wearing anything with straps for the rest of the week....it was soooo sad, oh boy did i learn a lesson!

So if anyone else watched Americas Next Top Model you know that we are trying to be like Tyra and Ms Jay and say "Fiiiieerce" we just sitting around one afternoon and had a sweet little photo opt! it was silly but we enjoy our ANTM!!!

I also beat chase up pretty bad!! hahahaha I'm telling you he just gave me a look so i socked him! hahaha!

this sweet look reminded me of our sweet Jeffery rick pence so we thought we would try to do it as good as him....i think chase has it down pretty good : ) We had to wait like 2 hours to get off the ship ...we were really tired!



We were scheduled to visit the grand cayman, roaton isle( its part of Honduras) , Belize, and Cozumel......but on our way to Honduras there was rioting due to high electric prices so we couldn't go there and a tropical depression was right behind us so we had to pass on Belize too....but we went to Cozumel and Progresso.....does anyone else think that its funny that its named after a soup?! I sure did! anyways, we had a blast just hanging out with each other. i recommend it to everyone! i felt like i was in high school all over again! we loved every minute of it....minus the 2 nights chase had some mystery illness and the one night i got see sick....stupid tropical depression! we will defiantly be going on no kids aloud vacation every year from now on! we sure did miss Emma though and she could not stop laughing when we got home! it was so good to see her little smile! thanks so much mom for watching her we really owe you big time and thanks for decorating our house! it was so great we love it so much!!
sorry it took so long to post, i promise Halloween will be up this week :)
