Home from vacation

Well, it has been a while since my last post we haven't been up to much, just a cruise, a week long stay in Orlando and a Triatholon in St. George two weeks later (more to come on that later). I had been waiting to post on our vacation pics because Ryan is planning to do a cool video of our trip but it hasn't happened yet so I willl give a little preview.

Leaving Ft. Lauderdale on the cruise, the first day.
First Island... Princess Cays- Bahamas- Its the cruise line's private island... we did some snorkeling abd the crusise provided a yummy bbq lunch- Itwas also Ryan's birthday that day.Birthday dinner, the cake was delicious.The second island was St. Martten, which we did a lot of sightseeing on. One side of the island was Dutch and the other was French. This was on the Dutch side.This was an actual french bakery that we chilled at for a little while.
Also on the French side a cool pirate fort we hiked up to.



In St. Thomas we pretty much camped out the whole day at Megan's Bay
This was the last island Grand Turk, It was such a fun day. Its a small island only 7 miles long and a mile or half mile wide can't remember. My pretty gel toes:)

Ryan's sister and brother -in-law came with us we had a lot of fun with them.





Since this was our last island day we hung around till the last moment not wanting to leave our little island paradise. We loved our ship too, it was so nice!



When we got back to Ft. lauderdale we rented a car and met up with the rest of Ryan's family in Orlando. We were kind of pictured out (really this is just a sliver of the pics that Ryan took and we have a ton of video) by that time so we really don't have any of our week in Fl. except for what other people took. We did one day at disney world one day at Universal studios Island of Adventure park which was way fun, the new Harry Potter ride is amazing, and a couple of Florida beaches that couldn't hold a candle to the carribean beaches as you can tell we got a little beach spoiled.

Oh, that water looks sooooo beautiful. When I was reading this, I started thinking about our fun girls cruise and got sad missing all of you guys. I'm coming out to Utah the last two weeks of July and first week of August so you better be around for lots of hangouts.
