Our last stop on the cruise was Grand Cayman and it was so fun! We had some time in the morning so we walked around, shopped and explored.
There was an entire street of large banks for those who have off-shore bank accounts in the Caymans...
We enjoyed this stingray fountain.
There were also pirates.
We kept our eye out for Captain Jack.
We boarded yet another bus.
This picture, unknowingly, captured the whole family!
Then we got on a boat.
And sailed out to Stingray City.
"Stingray City" is a natural sandbar out in the ocean where tons of wild stingrays live. At first I was really freaked out as they were swimming by and brushing up against my legs but after a while I calmed down and it was actually really cool.
We got to hold them.
They gave us kisses.
And even back massages!
It was seriously amazing.
After the stingrays, we went a couple of different places to snorkel.
And then enjoyed a nice, relaxing boat ride back to the island.
We all got a little sunburned but it was totally worth it!
We loved our vacation! It was so nice to get away and not worry about anything, but there was something we loved even more... Coming home to this sweet little face!
She hardly even missed us.

Isla Roatan, Honduras
This was our third stop on the cruise.
Once again we hopped straight on a shuttle. We got to see both sides of the island, which was beautiful. And then we went ziplining through the jungle canopy!
We all went upside-down except for my parents.
And we went tandem.
It was super fun!
This is right before the last and longest zipline. Shortly after this picture was taken, it began to rain and we were pelted as we went across.
And we got to hold Jasmine the monkey.
I like the poser in the background of this one:
She snuggled right up to me. We love each other.
Afterward we went to a beach in the middle of the downpour. It was the first tropical squall of the rainy season. We sat in a beach hut and just watched it dump. I couldn't believe how much water was coming out of the sky! It didn't last too long though and even though it was overcast afterward we swam because the water was warmer than the air.
After the beach we had some time to shop and mess around before getting back on the ship.
Last stop: Grand Cayman! (If we can ever get those underwater pics developed.)
