Caribbean Cruise part 3

Gumbalimba park in Roatan, Honduras. We saw beautiful flowers and played with the monkeys. They were so cute.

Cozumel was beautiful. Everything was so colorful. Trevor, Eric, Kristan and I took a speedboat to a private island for the day. We swam, played on a water trampoline, kayaked, ate a mexican buffet, and hung out on the beach.

The sunsets were beautiful.

Grand Cayman

This is Cayman Turtle Farm. This place was so cool. They had baby turtles all the way up to about 300 pound turtles.

Holding the turtles was fun. They would flap around until you stroked their necks. They were much cuter than the stingrays :)

Caribbean Cruise

We had a great time on our Caribbean Cruise. The weather was beautiful and the excursions were so much fun. We went on the Carnival Legend and we stopped in Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan, Honduras. We went snorkeling, swan with the stingrays, rode on a speedboat at 60 mph to a private island, and went to a park with birds, monkeys, and beautiful flowers. It was a great week spent with the family. We laughed a lot and had a great time together. This picture is of our ship- it was beautiful inside!

This was dinner one night. The food was great and we loved our waiters, Louie and Alvin.

Mandatory lifeboat drill...definitely not the highlight of the trip.

Leaving Tampa

Trevor, Allison, Eric, and Kristan

Eric's RN graduation

My little brother graduated with his RN last night. One more nurse in the family brings the count to 3. He will be working at IMC on CVU4. After all of his struggles in the past, this accomplishment is amazing. We are so proud of him.

The three nurses in the family...

Eric and his girlfriend Kristan (soon to be fiance???)

A picture is worth a thousand words. For those who have not been through the long, painful process of nursing school, it is definitely something to be excited about when you are done. Eric, I know you worked really hard and you deserve to celebrate. We love you!

A Night Out

Trevor and I went out to the symphony on Saturday night. It was fun to get dressed up and go out with some friends. We had a romantic dinner prior to the symphony (the Wendy's drive-thru). We had a really good time and it was nice to relax and enjoy ourselves because we have both been busy studying for finals!!

Jill, Allison, and Katherine. It's much more fun to hang out with work friends when we are not at work!

Stacie and Allison

So, I attempted to wear some nice shoes and they did nothing but hurt my feet. I barely made it from the car to Abravanel Hall. Since we were downtown on a Saturday night in December, the traffic was horrible and we were forced to park far away. On the walk back to the car, my shoes were hurting bad that I took them off. Although it was more comfortable, it only took about 30 seconds for them to start going numb from the cold cement. My wonderful husband offered me his shoes since he was wearing socks. I still insist that he only gave me his shoes so he wouldn't have to hear me complain the whole time!
