Cruise Life!!

For our 10th anniversary Jonathan and I went on a cruise to the eastern caribbean. Thanks to the grandparents we were able to go alone. We had so much fun. The posts below are long, but I had too many pictures to share. Enjoy!!

Our stateroom. It was pretty large except for the shower.

A little ol' shack we passed on our way out of Miami.
Welcome aboard ice sculpture in the Windjammer Cafe (where we ate breakfast and lunch everyday.)
The on board productions were amazing. You totally forgot you were in the middle of the sea on a boat.

Our first formal night.

TOWEL ANIMALS

Every night after dinner when we came back to our stateroom there would a cute little towel animal some where in our room. I say somewhere because they were sometimes hanging from strange places and the had on MY sunglasses.
