After We got Married, Kevin and I had the Wonderful opportunity to go on a cruise (in the middle of winter!) With the whole Shumway family for the family vacation (what a good time to join the family, right?-this also served as our honeymoon!). This was really wonderful and an amazing treat, especially for me! It gave me the chance to really get to know my new family and relax after a hard semester of school! this was such a cool trip and we were SO lucky to be able to go! Thanks Joe and Susan!
After Breakfast every morning Kevin and I would walk into our room to find our bed made and also a towel folded into a shape of an animal. Cool right? Well I don't mean to complain but, yeah, at first we thought it was cool. but then as the days went on we kept getting the same animal. we went to the other Shumway's rooms and they had really cool animals, like monkeys and such...Now I don't know if our towel folding guys just forgot what animal they made the\ day before or what. but We thought it was funny :)
The First Stop was really nice! A lot of shops and such and a nice big pool area. I thought it was funny and was a little confused at why we (the Shumways) were the only ones in the water because it was SO nice! (but very salty!) the boys had a fun time swimming and throwing each other in the water! and we also saw dolphins! very cool day!
I thought it was so sweet how much the nieces and nephews loved Kevin! Especially him and Sammy, they were inseparable the whole trip!
Another spot we made was Honduras! Kinda very touristy (not much cultural difference) but it had a nice beach!...
..and that's where we spent most of our day!
He definitely keeps me laughing!
The very last day we went to another beach, and Kevin, being the good sport he is, let me and our niece Natalie bury him AND make him look like a mermaid. Although, he doesn't really like being sandy. he spent awhile trying to wash the sand out...
Coolest thing in the world!
I was kind of disappointed during the trip because Kevin and I were planing to go hold monkeys at one of our stops, but it ended up being to expensive...BUT on the very Last stop Kevin and I were hungry so we went around looking for a food place on beach and then BAM! We saw a guy letting people hold his monkeys AND all his other animals, for how much? oh yeah, that's right, for FREE. I love him...
Such a cool experience! Top right picture: HUGE lizard, it was so heavy! and Bottom pictures: I know what you're thinking. "What in the heck are you doing holding that HUGE discus ting scary spider? well Kevin was fine with it. Me, on the other hand almost had a heart attack! SO scary, but I Just had to!
I Totally loved the cruise! hopefully we will be able to go on another one sometime!
