Cruise 2010

In February Marty and I went on a cruise to celebrate many things. Baby #4 on it's way, 7 year anniversary and our birthdays this year :) We went to Roatan, Honduras; Costa Maya, Mexico; and Cozumel, Mexico. It was relaxing and nice to have a break from busy life. Marty ended up coming home to a new job possition so this was perfect timing for a vacation. I was 3 months pregnant and just got over the morning sickness the week before. It was good weather and great company. We met a table full of vacationers on the boat one dinner and I think I was laughing the whole time. One couldn't hear, but did all the talking; another could hear, but would make jokes under her breath about the one who couldn't hear; one was off in another world; another hated every piece of food placed in front of her; and the last was a middle aged or younger guy that was somebody's relative just on the cruise because he "does nothing" at home. Very interesting - so hilarious.

Marty's Dad was kind enough to fly in and watch our kids while we were gone. I still can't believe he was willing to take on such a task. The kids were ok for him and there were no big problems. Thanks Grandpa!


Cozumel: we rented a scooter and drove around the island. About 15 minutes after this picture we found our own beach with big waves and perfect sand. so fun.

Costa Maya: we took a taxi to see some Mayan ruins.

Roatan: Beautiful, green, lush island that had great snorkeling.

Roatan: Here is the snorkeling sight we went to. You walk into the water and there it is. It was so amazing and so close to the water's surface. We went out a little too far and got attacked by tiny jelly fish we couldn't see unless you really look hard. I freaked out and got stung more because of the flailing of arms and legs!
