cruise

so yeah, we took a cruise last week...

and it was a great time! it was nice to get away from it all, to just be with lindsay, to venture out and explore new worlds, and especially to relax. on that note, about halfway through i realized that you have to be very intentional about getting rest on a cruise. they feed you four meals a day and have activities planned late into the evening and you want to get up early to explore the new destination.

in nassau on tuesday and key west on thursday, we took a tour of the island to get a feel of the history, culture, people, and sights to see. on wednesday we had a wonderful day relaxing in the sun (L) and shade (scott) at the private island of coco cay. every night was a really nice dinner and a very entertaining show and there were game shows, pictures, shops, and things to do on the boat all the time.

also, on the sunday before boarding we spent an extra day in miami and ate at hard rock, took a pirate boat tour to see some famous homes, went to the miami heat (they're not very good with out dwyane wade) - charlotte bobcats (they're young and have some pretty good players at each position now) game, ate dinner at gloria estefan's cuban restaurant (bongos), and made a quick visit to south beach.

all in all a great trip! it was great to get back and see jacob - he seemed to get a month older in a week!
