A Week in Paradise

A couple of weeks ago Sean and I and his family met in Puerto Rico to begin our Caribbean cruise. It was such a nice, relaxing week and was a perfect break from work and school. Spending time with family is so much fun--especially when you don't get to see each other very often and you live hundreds and miles apart.

We cruised with Royal Caribbean to the islands of Aruba (which I was amazed to find out is only about 30 miles off the coast of Venezuela), Curacao, Dominica, St. Thomas, and back to San Juan. It was an active week filled with swimming, snorkeling, river rafting, shopping, basketball, volleyball, ice skating, rock climbing, beach hopping, and of course, EATING!! Here is a glimpse of our adventures.

Excited to see each other after 10 days apart, we met up in Dallas and flew to Puerto Rico all together.

Our favorite beach, great snorkeling here!

This ship is one of 8 in the world that have an ice skating rink on board.

Sean and Eric also played in a volleyball tournament. The Puerto Ricans are pretty good at this game.

Sailing away from Dominica we saw rainbows everywhere and it was beautiful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in paradise. We made such great memories and loved the time we had to spend together.

Now it's back to real life. I've returned to work at the hospital and Sean is interning at an accounting firm. Life is good.
