cruising

Isaac and I just returned from our one week trip to the Caribbean on the jewel of the seas. We met 12 of our family members from Toronto for a 8 night cruise. I was pleasantly surprised throughout the week at how well it worked out, and what a great vacation it was with a baby. Here is a little rundown of our week:

San Juan, Puerto Rico > We toured the town. Browsed shops, Enjoyed the weather and scenery. Looked at historical monuments.

St. Thomas > Went to the beach. Swam in the ocean (picture above). Checked out the jewelry stores. Isaac napped in the stroller.

St. Maarten > Visited the french side of the Island. Had lunch. Shopped around. Visited the Dutch side of the Island. Shopped around. (ps. i bought NOTHING)

Tortola > Family day at the beach. Nail bitting ride in the open air shuttle over the mountain to the other side of the island.

Nassau,Bahamas > Visited Atlantis resort. Went to the aquarium. Had ice cream. Went back into town, and shopped around.

Days at Sea > Swimming, waterslides, EATING, reading, knitting, napping, gambling.


I was surprised how much we did over the week, and how flexible Isaac was. It ended up being a really great time with lots of new exploration for the both of us. We both enjoyed catching up with family. It was a great way to celebrate the end of his first year.
