Cruising the Caribbean

The last thing I want by the time March rolls around every year is more snow and cold weather. By then, I'm just itching for warmer temperatures and signs of Spring. Of course, living in the Northeast, I don't usually get my wish very often. However, this year I was fortunate enough to completely escape the frigid March weather and head south for a week of relaxing in the Caribbean on a big Holland America cruise ship. One of my hubby's relatives organized a family cruise, which frankly, is a fantastic idea if you're wondering. And how could it not be totally great? We stopped at 4 different islands, ate tons of delicious food, swam and snorkeled in the clearest blue water I've ever seen, and soaked up a week straight of beautiful sunshine :) It was the best March vacation I've ever had. And coincidentally, it happened to fall right around Matt's and my 6-month wedding anniversary, so it was almost like a second honeymoon! Anyway, here are just a few of my favorite shots from the week. Just looking at them makes me want to go back :)

Dining table flowers.


Plenty of places to kick your feet up and relax.


Beautiful islands.


I've never been on a boat that big before, and I'm pretty sure I would've gotten lost if it weren't for my wonderful navigator husband :) 




And we had to get in at least one cute shot of the two of us :)
