One month from today at this exact moment, our bus (yes private BUS, we have 11 people with their two-weeks of luggage do get to the airport) will have picked up my family from Grandma’s house and we’ll be in route to the airport heading to our Caribbean cruise!! We’ve been waiting for this trip to get here since December 20, 2008, when Grandma surprised us all!
I thought in honor of our 1 month countdown, I’d share some of the favorite professional photos from the two cruises I’ve been on!
Cruise #1 ~ February 11-25, 2006
We went on this trip the month before Jaime gave birth to Madison, so *sniff sniff* they didn’t get to come along. But…we had fun without them! We left and returned from Fort Lauderdale and circled the Caribbean, we traveled approximately 4,194 miles!
#1: Fort Lauderdale ~ Princess Cays (we didn’t get to go due to weather) ~ Tortola ~ Antigua ~ Dominica ~ Martinique ~ Barbados ~ Grenada ~ Bonaire ~ Aruba ~ Grand Caymans ~ Fort Lauderdale
Brandi & I “swam” (aka stood on a platform) with dolphins!

Cruise #2 & 3 ~ February 16-March 1, 2008
This cruise for us was considered one cruise, but it technically was two! We did two different loops of the Caribbean from Puerto Rico to Puerto Rico and then back to Puerto Rico! We traveled approximately 3,414 miles!
#2: San Juan, Puerto Rico ~ St. Thomas ~ St. Kitts ~ Grenada ~ Bonaire ~ Aruba ~ San Juan, Puerto Rico
#3: San Juan, Puerto Rico ~ Barbados ~ St. Lucia ~ Antigua ~ Tortola ~ St. Thomas ~ San Juan, Puerto Rico
