Kimberly R. Hill: Amazing Vacation!

Vacation did not come at a better time! Work as been so busy because my caseload keeps getting bigger. We are always doing something it seems like outside of work whether it's the gym or church activities. It was nice to slow down and turn off the blackberry! Our vacation started on Sunday and we drove 9 hours to Tampa Bay. We stayed at a hotel right on the bay with amazing views:

We arrived at the port on Monday and boarded the boat at around 1:30. We had time to get to know the boat and find our room. We sailed out at 4:00!

Tuesday was a Fun day at Sea day. We just layed out and got some sun. We also played some mini golf!

Yes we tied! Although Steven said this isn't real golf and the wind was messing up his putt. :) Tuesday was also elegant night at dinner. We got all dressed up for dinner:

Our waiter had a great time entertaining us that night as well to the nice british old lady. hahaha :)

Wednesday: We ported at the Grand Cayman Island from 8:00-2:00.

For our excursion on this island, we decided to go to the turtle farm. We got to hold baby turtles and snorkel in a salt water lagoon. It was so much fun!

This turtle was 4 months old. The one Steven is holding is 6 months old.

Here is the salt water lagoon where we snorkeled:

Here are some of the bigger turtles:

Beautiful Grand Cayman waters:

Wednesday night we got a elephant towel! That meant that our steward really liked us! :)

Thursday: We ported at Cozumel, Mexico at 11:00 and had to be back on the ship at 7:00. We were able to swim with the dolphins at Dolphinaris. If you have never done this, you have to do it at least once in your lifetime. Now I have at least one thing checked off my bucket list! :) We also ate some amazing Mexican food at Three Amigos. We did some shopping because we always get Christmas ornaments at places we visit. We had success because we found one at each island!

This is Dophinaris. See the beautiful ocean!
