Jeff and I just got back from the ultimate family vacation - both our families (let's count us all - me, Jeff, Dave, Judy, Brandon, his friend - Carter, Gail, Jim, Chris, Debbie, Kaitlyn, and Matthew - that's right - 12 of us!) went on a cruise to the western caribbean together this past week and had a great time. The ship was ridiculously fun - plenty of activities, good food (and more food and more food and...), and time with everyone. We had two days on the boat at sea and also stopped in Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We rode jet skiis in Haiti, did the classic Dunn's River Falls climb in Jamaica, shopping in Grand Cayman, and checked out some Mayan ruins in Cozumel. Everyone pretty much did their own thing during the day, then we all met in the dining room for dinner to compare stories and then headed for the night shows onboard. This was actually my first cruise and it is definitely a great vacation idea for a family so that everyone can do exactly what they want and eat what they want - it pleases all. So anyway - it was impressive. Thanks family - we had a great time and miss you already!
