cruise

Last week we went on a cruise. It was the first vacation Nathan and I have been on since we had Caleb, almost 4 years ago. We took a Royal Caribbean cruise from Galveston, Texas to Honduras, Belize and Cozumel. We went with 6 other couples from both Tulsa and Corpus Christi.
The first stop was in Roatan, Honduras where Nathan and I got the chance to scuba dive with our good friends Ginger and Jared. It wasn't the best dive I have ever done but it did come pretty close. 
Next we went to Belize city, Belize where we did a zip line through the jungle and cave tubing excursion. 
Lastly we stopped in Cozumel where we took ATV's to Jade Caverns. The water in Cozumel was absolutely amazing. The color was beautiful and the visibility was at least a 100 feet. We defiantly want to plan a trip back to Cozumel.
In between our stops and excursions we were wined and dined with phenomenal food that came in abundance.  We ordered several entrees and deserts each night and they were brought to us by the greatest waiter. Our waiter was from the Philippines which turned out to be fun because for once Nathan could finally use the language he learned on his mission. Rey (our waiter) created an amazing dinner experience each night complete with magic tricks. I can't thank Rey enough for what an amazing job he did with our large group.  
I was a little nervous about having 3 full days at sea and wondered if I would be able to keep busy but the ship was full of things to do. We went swimming, surfing (on the flow rider), rock climbing, played lots of shuffle board, watched shows, listened to live music, played games, ordered lots and lots of frozen drinks, and caught up on sleep. 
Overall it was such a great experience with lots and lots of great memories. It's been a long time since I have laughed as much as I did on this cruise. We couldn't have asked for a better group to go with. 

This is just a photo dump, in no particular order of a few of the many pictures taken by all our friends.
