Vacation Favorites!

Last week Rick and I went on vacation with our friends, Jess and Eliot. We left on Friday afternoon and flew to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We spent the weekend at my grandpa's condo. On Monday we boarded the Majesty of the Seas cruise ship and took a 5 day-4 night cruise to the Bahamas and Key West. On Friday morning we went back to the condo. Saturday afternoon we flew back to Chicago. It was a great vacation. We were able to do a lot of fun things and spend time with our friends. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.
Eliot got an underwater camera for his birthday so we spent quite a bit of time using it. This is one of the first pictures that Eliot took of Rick.
Jess and Eliot before dinner at Houstons. This was the best meal of the trip!

As the cruise ship left the Port of Miami Jess and I fell asleep.

After dinner the first night on the ship!

In Nassau we kayaked and snorkeled.

We bought fish food so I got some nice close-ups of the fish.

After snorkeling!

In CocoCay (Royal Caribbean's private island) we jet skied.


After the jet skis I cut my hand on a dock after chasing a $20 bill that flew away. It was worth it and the cut has healed up nicely.

On our way back to the ship after CocoCay.


It was very windy at the front of the ship. We had some fun pretending we were blowing away.



Jess and I tried on hats at the store on the ship!



Before we went Snuba Diving.

My turn posing with the sea urchin.

The disgusting dessert at dinner on the last night of the cruise. The waitress told us it was bad so we ordered something else, but she still brought it for us to try. She was correct.
