The August Vacation


So just because we went on a cruise in August does not mean that because it is November it is too late to post about it! We went on a much needed vacation in August for my birthday. It was kind of like a second honeymoon (even though we have only been married for a year and a half)

We went on a 7 day cruise to the Caribbean. We stopped in Belize, Honduras, and had two stops in Mexico. It was so beautiful! And so hot. 


In both of our Mexico stops we went to different Mayan ruins, because I can't get me enough of those! As I was looking at which pictures I wanted to post I realized that most of our pictures were of ruins...so I won't post very many as to bored the reader, but there are a few very interesting ones. One of the ruins had a large pyramid with masks on the front. They have been really well preserved and we could still see some of the stucco. 

The masks went up each side of the front staircase.

Here is a close up. You can still see some of the red 
coloring.



In Belize we went Cave Tubing. Basically we floated down a lazy river through extremely long cave. Apparently the Mayans used these caves back in the day. The water was cold, but it felt so good. And was really neat. The pictures a poor quality because we used a cheap underwater camera so we could document the moment!

Honduras was probably my favorite day. We went to the beach. The most beautiful beach I have ever seen! It looked like it belonged on a postcard. White sand, clear blue water, palm trees, it was so relaxing.


Wyatt also rented snorkeling gear and swam among the fishes. 

Now the only scary thing about Honduras was pulling into Port. Here is what we saw...

And this wasn't the only ship wreck! Made me a little nervous, but we deciding there must have been a hurricane or something...right?

What a great vacation! Here are some random pics



We had a blast! And the best part was there was so much food! And being 12 weeks pregnant at the time, that is exactly what I needed!
