Ok, so it hasn't ALWAYS been so smooth but without those waves our marriage wouldn't be what it is today.  God has blessed us with an amazing relationship!!!

We left on Oct. 1, drove to Del Rio & stayed the nite with my Dad.  The next day we got up & drove to Houston to stay a few days with our best friends that moved there in May.  We had a fun time with them.  We went to the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory!  YES, we got free ice cream!!!  haha  That was a lot of fun & very interesting!!!!

On Oct. 5 we took a 7 day cruise.  It was the highlight of my life to see my boys amazement that whole week!!!  I am so thankful that God provided the means for us to take our boys on such a wonderful vacation!! 

We left Houston & sailed to Jamaica where we rode inner tubes down the river in the middle of the thick jungle!  I think I liked that more than the kids did.  They didn't like the fact that all our inner tubes were tied together & they didn't get to go down the river on their own.  The jungle/rain forest was just beautiful!

The next day we were in Grand Cayman.  We fell in love with this island!  We'd love to go back & spend a week there!!  We went to the turtle farm where they raise & release sea turtles.  Then we swam with STINGRAYS!!!  T, N and Daddy LOVED it!!!  N was floating in the clouds after that.  He just kept hugging me & saying...  That was so awesome, that was so awesome....  He brought tears to my eyes seeing how happy he was.  S and I on the other hand did not like it that much!  I just stood there & didn't move!!  Those crazy stingrays just rub all over you like cats do!!!  It was really cool but not my favorite thing.

Next we went to Cozumel - now this was my favorite day!!  We swam with dolphins and it was way cool!!!  We all loved it!!!  I'll have to scan some pics to post becuz I only took pics with my water camera that I have to have developed.  So be sure to check back for those pics.

We had a great time!!  Loads of fun & relaxing!!

After the cruise we spent another day in Houston with friends.  We were treated as family at their new church & we just fell in love with everyone we met there!!

After leaving Houston we went back to Del Rio & spent a few days with my Dad & my PaPa.  My Dad is not good health wise and taking care of my PaPa is taking a toll on him mentally.  They both did not want us to leave.

Enjoy our vacation pics....  I'll post more after I scan them!

Our trip continued....
