Celebrating Our 10th Wedding Anniversary!

Brian and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a 7 day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean (Bahamas, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk)! This was Brian's first cruise and it was a wonderful time full of relaxing and new adventures. My parents watched the kids for us and kept them very busy with fun activities and new places to see!

Our first port was the Bahamas. Carnival has their own private island. We did not plan an excursion, just relaxed on the beach. It was great!

Our second port was St. Thomas. Our excursion was the majority of the time at port so we don't have any pictures (oops). We went on a catamaran snorkel tour which was a lot of fun. Brian showed major patience with me since I am not so great about snorkeling or getting into the ocean. I did, finally, and we had a good time. We quickly learned we needed to get me my own mask and snorkel to make the experience more enjoyable.

Our third port was San Juan. We loved it there! We didn't book an excursion, decided to walk around and explore on our own. We are so glad we did. We walk all over Old San Juan visiting the forts, churches, and a yummy local restaurant for lunch!

We ended our trip at the Bacardi Distillery! They actually make the rum there and with a free tour and drinks, it was a great way to end the day.

Our last port was Grand Turk. We walked some historical houses and toured the Grand Turk Museum. We also had our second snorkel trip which went much better since I had my new mask and snorkel!

Of course we had to eat lunch at Margaritaville in Grand Turk! It was very good!
