Antigua
While we were in Antigua we did the Prickly Pear Island Adventure where you get to go out to a private island, enjoy the beach and have a yummy lunch. Some of Broc’s family had done this excursion before and they highly recommended it. The day started off a little tricky due to a massive rain storm and us almost not being able to get to the island. Luckily though, the storm came and went fairly quickly and then we were able to enjoy the rest of the day on the island. 

Ti checking out the huge shell some of the cousins found while snorkeling. 

Building Sand Castles with Boston and Sydney. 

I LOVED having some time to relax in the sun and read. 

Plus, the view was pretty awesome! 

Look at that sand and water! Such a pretty island! 

Playing football on the beach! 

At every beach we went to Titan loved to just sit and run his hands through the water and sand. It’s probably during this time he contemplated the important things in life and mapped out the next ten years of his life… 😉 

Titan at the Child Center that night. Each night we would check him into the Child Center for an hour or two after dinner while we went to a show or just enjoyed some adult time. It was a win win for everyone, especially since not all of the shows, comedians, etc. were especially age appropriate for a 5 year old. He had fun doing crafts, playing games and hanging out with other kids and we got to enjoy some down time as just adults after spending all day as a family. (I’m telling you, cruises are seriously the best way to travel because of all of the options!) 
St. Maarten 

The day we were in St. Maarten the family rented four wheelers and did a tour around the island. Broc and I agreed that it probably wasn’t the best idea to be pregnant and on a four wheeler and so I spent the day enjoying a “sea day” on board the ship! I’m not going to lie, it was by far one of my most favorite days. Plus, I needed the time to recuperate and gear up for the remaining days of the trip! 
I got myself a nice yummy breakfast of toast and yogurt (pretty much what I ate every morning since it was the only food bland enough to keep my nausea at bay) and then laid out by the pool reading Divergent and ordering Chocolate Banana Smoothies! 

On this trip I was able to start and finish both Mockingjay and Divergent and it was SO nice! I usually don’t have the time anymore to make it through an entire book. So to make it through two books was awesome! Definitely excited to read more of the Divergent series! (And to see the Divergent movie coming out in a few weeks!) 

Once I had enjoyed enough sun, I made my way back to the room, ordered some cheesecake and then took a nap until the boys got back! (I seriously LOVE the room service and the service in general on cruises!) 

I sent Broc four wheeling with our camera and here are a few of the photo’s he got. I love Ti’s obligatory smile in this one. 🙂

Scenic shot!

St. Thomas 
The day we were in St. Thomas we took a ferry over to St. John and went to Trunk Bay. The bay was really pretty and has some good snorkeling but Broc and I both said that if we were in St. Thomas again we would go to Cocoa Bay instead. (We did Cocoa Bay on our last Caribbean Cruise and have definitely wanted to go back! Plus, it seemed it was less traveling, cheaper, and just as good of experience in our opinion as Trunk Bay. I was happy though that we got to see St. John because I’ve decided it’s definitely an island I’d like to go back to and spend more time one. Very pretty and tourist friendly!)

My boys! Love them! 

EVERY time Titan is in the water his hair does this weird thing where it’s totally flat in the front and then sticking straight up in the back. I’m not sure if he pats it down in the front, or if it’s just something weird his hair does…LOL

The “taxi’s” we got to ride around in on the island. 

The boys walking around some of the shops in St. John. Broc and Titan started to go into this Spice and Souvenir shop and as I was walking up the stairs I had to turn around  and let them go in by themselves. The smells did not go well with my nausea! I will definitely be happy when this pregnancy is over and my smell goes back to normal instead of being in overdrive all the time. 
I was very happy though when someone found a coke machine on the island! And one with normal US Diet Coke! 🙂 Best tasting DC of the entire trip and it was ice cold! 

The boys on our ride back to the ferry and to our last night on the cruise! 

…and last, but not least, Ti enjoying a Sponge Bob ice cream at the airport on our way home from the trip! We were definitely sad to see this trip end. It was so nice to have all our meals taken care of, spend time together as a family, and enjoy LOTS of time in the sun!! Plus, it was fun to try out a different cruise line.  
This was our first time cruising with Celebrity and while we liked them, we did decide that we prefer Princess over Celebrity. (We’ve done two Princess cruises and one Carnival cruise prior to this Celebrity cruise). The service on Celebrity and the kid activities, while awesome, were just not as awesome as we felt they were on Princess.  Of course, that’s the great thing about cruises…you are usually deciding between great service and even greater service! 🙂 So our list now goes: Princess, Celebrity, and then Carnival. 🙂 

PS: This resort was on St. John’s and I am determined to go back and stay here sometime in our life! So gorgeous and right along the water!!!

Barbados 
Our first day in port we were in Barbados and we decided to take our little family on the Pirate Ship excursion. We got to swim in the ocean, walk the plank, jump off a rope swing and even do some dancing! (Well, the boys did most of that, I certainly did not walk the plank or jump from a rope swing at 13 weeks pregnant!) 
“Mom, look it’s a pirate and we are headed to a pirate ship. We need a picture!” 

On our way to the pirate ship… 

The boys getting ready for their swim in the ocean. Titan wasn’t so sure about it at first…

Eventually he warmed up to it though! 🙂

Then, while we were sailing around the island, he decided to take a nap. He apparently needed to store up his energy for all the dancing we would be doing later… 🙂

Every day we were in port we would wait to eat lunch when we got back on the ship. No use paying for food when you have free (well, already paid for) food waiting for you on the ship. One of my favorite things about going on a cruise is all the food options. Titan was able to branch out and try so many different foods…and it didn’t matter if he didn’t like them, because he could always go grab something else. 🙂 I think knowing that he had other options always available made him A LOT more adventurous. 
St. Lucia 

The day we were in St. Lucia we joined Broc’s family at a local beach for a beach day. Ti LOVED playing in the sand and water. 

The fruit vendor.
This guy came around the bend in his boat selling bananas, pineapple, coconuts, etc. Broc enjoyed some of the fruit and then asked me how I would feel if we moved to an island like St. Lucia and he worked part-time as a doctor and part-time as a floating fruit salesman. I must admit, I would not be super opposed to that plan. I could hang out on these beaches ALL day every day!!! I love the sun and ocean! 

Titan hanging out with Papa Dan! (Broc’s Dad) 

That night it was a formal night at dinner for the New Years Eve celebration! I was so sad that this picture had such awful lighting! My camera phone is definitely a hit and miss sorta deal! Ti had so much fun running around with these guys during the trip and they were all good sports to let him hang out with them considering the next closest one in age is 8! 

Ti at the New Years Eve Party! The first little bit of the party he had fun running around and dancing. As the party got more crowded though we had to put him up on Broc’s shoulders. 

…and occasionally we took breaks in the buffet area to get away from the noise. 

Overall, Titan approved of our New Years Eve Celebration! He even almost made it to Midnight. (I think he asked to be taken back to the room at 11:50.) LOL 

Celebrity Cruise Lines | Southern Caribbean Cruise – Part One

Over New Years we were able to go as a family on a cruise to the Southern Caribbean. We went on Celebrity Cruise lines and enjoyed a sea day and then stops in Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten & St. Thomas.

This cruise set sail in Puerto Rico. So, the day after Christmas we drove back to Colorado, unpacked from Christmas, packed for the cruise, and then left for the airport bright and early! All I can say is, thank heavens Titan is easy to travel with and likes to sleep on the plan too! Otherwise, it would have been a REALLY long couple of travel days!

My boys…apparently not so chipper when they’ve been up since 4AM! 🙂

Ti prepping for the flight! 
Once we landed in Puerto Rico, we checked into our hotel and then headed out for dinner.

At dinner I asked what drinks they had and was happy to hear they had DC. Of course, then when they brought me a can…I was a little disappointed. Especially since we walked past a Walgreens on our way to the restaurant where I could have purchased the same can for 1/3 the price. LOL

Titan’s travel companion for the day! 

Ti’s favorite part of dinner was watching what was going on out on the street. I have to admit, patio dining at the end of December sure is nice! I was LOVING the 80 degree weather! 

After dinner we walked over to the beach right by our hotel and showed Titan the ocean and then it was back to the hotel. 

We didn’t book our hotel the first night, it was booked for us by Broc’s family. The best description of this hotel is was very, um, basic. 🙂 (And yes, all three of us slept on that bed. We had the option of a pull-out but were so tired by the time we got in, we just made it work.) I wouldn’t stay at this hotel for an extended stay, but for one night, it was adequate and clean…enough. 🙂 (PS: Ti wanted to be in every photo I took, “You know…for size perspective”.) LOL 

The next morning we walked over to the beach and took some quick family photo’s with Broc’s family. I figured I may as well snap some quick candids with my phone. 🙂

I definitely could get used to this view! 

Titan was fascinated by the palm trees by our hotel and by the shadows they cast. 

After pictures it was time to pack up and head to the cruise ship. This was Titan’s first meal on the cruise ship. It sure didn’t take him long to acclimatize to cruise life… 😉

The little man learning how to order his soda’s with his drink card! 

Love these two crazies! 

Walking around the ship. Love spending time with this little man! 

And then of course, it was straight to the pool! Well, for Titan and Broc any way! 

I spent my time watching them and enjoying my second (or perhaps third) of MANY pina coladas on the trip. (We purchased the Non-Alcholic Premium Drink Card for me and we definitely got our money’s worth out of it!) 

Ti with all of Broc’s cousins. (Ti also calls them his cousins even though they are technically his “first cousins once removed” or something like that! LOL)

Our first full day on the ship was our only sea day and we took full advantage. I woke up early to enjoy some time by the pool and then once the boys woke up we headed off to breakfast. The chocolate fountain at breakfast was definitely a big hit! 

We love yummy breakfasts with excellent service! After breakfast it was back to the pool for Ti Guy and I, and Broc played in a Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament. 

That night Broc and I sent Titan off with Grandma and Grandpa to dinner & we snuck away for a mini date night at Qsine. Qsine is one of the on board restaurants that isn’t included in the regular dining plan and dinner there was my Christmas gift from Titan and Broc. In fact, the very first thing Titan said once we boarded the ship was, “Mom, I can tell you our Christmas surprise now! You get to go on a date with dad to one of the really yummy restaurants that costs extra! Are you so excited?! Dad is going to make the reservation as soon as we get to our room!” – I loved how excited he was about the surprise. 🙂

I didn’t get very many good pictures in the restaurant. The lighting changed all through out the meal and didn’t lend well to photos. 
Overall, we really liked the experience. It’s not very often we get to order our meal on iPads, eat our appetizers from a carousel wheel and choose our dessert off of a game cube!  The food and decor were both really fun and unique, to say the least, and I don’t think there was anything we ordered that we didn’t like!! (Which is saying something considering I was still dealing with morning sickness…lol)
Dessert! 

A look at the food options they have. The food came in all sorts of displays and arrangements. Basically how you see it here, is how it came to your table. 
Love date nights! 

After dinner we went to pick up Titan from the Child Center where he requested to be dropped off after dinner and found that our little monkey had been having quite the night! 

Can’t beat getting to make a monkey mask and enjoying some cookies and milk! 

…and then Broc and Titan played some Munchkin with all of Broc’s cousins while I went to bed! 🙂 
Up next, our excursion days!
