Better late than never

Jay & I have been married for 11 yrs
3 months & 2 dys.
This month we finally had the opportunity to celebrate our 10 yr
Anniversary. Like I said, "Better late than never".
Something I admire about Jay is his devotion, faithfullness and support.
He's always there to stand by your side. Even if you're the Seattle
Seahawks with a horrible record of 2 wins/ 8 loses. Yes, there is frustration and
sadness, but he WILL NOT give up on them. He is loyal!!!
So of course we started out our 8 day vacation with the Dolphin/Seahawk
game in Miami. Too bad they lost by 2, but at least they can say they put
up a good fight. I surprised myself by how much fun I had. Jay got me my
own pink jersey. It was crazy being in a crowd of
Dolphin fans and being the minority, but we had a blast!! One of my top
highlights.....
Check us out.....











Monday we climbed aboard our cruise ship in Miami.
There we sailed off into the world of relaxation.
"THE BAHAMAS"
Here are some pictures of us departing...



Nassau

This was the first Island we visited. It was beautiful, see for yourself.
Here we shopped, walked around, went to the beach and saw
some pretty crazy things that gave us some good laughs.
We took this picture for the kids to help them get a better idea
of HOW big our ship really was. They said, "Dad looks like an ant".

Can you see him? Jay swam out there pretty far. Crazy guy!

I wasn't as brave as Jay. We jumped some pretty big waves.
There were fish swimming around us, Jay tried catching
one with his hands. Good luck babe!

On the ship

Shots taken here and there during our time on
the ship.

Me, eating one of MANY ice cream cones.

At a Broadway show
Wow! Sorry ladies he's taken!
Through thick & thin, we stick together.
Dinner
"ELEPHANT"
Every night we'd come back to our room and
find mints on our pillows and an animal made out
of towels. Pretty creative.

Freeport Island
Our 2nd day out we were scheduled to spend the day
on the ship's private Island. Because of rocky waters, we were
unable to dock. Freeport was the 3rd Island we visited. Here we
went on a 13 mile bike ride around town. I got fried. Not very smart
on my part.
May I help you?
Let's get going. Follow me...

"I love my bike" This was Jay's bell on his bike.
I didn't get a bell...
I took this picture while riding my bike. I took some others
of Jay & I while riding, but Jay didn't like wouldn't
let me share. I thought they looked cool.
Our bike ride ended at the beach, where we ate lunch
and spent sometime on the beach before we went shopping
in town.

I wouldn't mind one of these in my backyard.

They're almost ready for pickin.
Good bye...
Until next time
(in another 11 yrs, year 2119)


We are sad to leave. Time to get back to the REAL world.
We loved our time together but believe it or not, we
are looking forward to being with our kids again.
They complete us!!!
