Cruisin' on the eastern Caribbean

These pictures are long overdue, and they are many. BUT they are fun!
SO here's how it went: we drove Carter to Yakima, WA (11 hour drive) to drop him off with my dad and stepmom. Then we drove 2.5 more hours to Seattle to catch a plane to Orlando. Next morning, boarded the Carnival Dream with our region from Vivint.
We hit up the eastern Caribbean, stopping in the Bahamas, and Virgin Islands: St Thomas and St Maarten

Atlantis in the Bahamas...

 Unfortunately neither me nor Aaron got to enjoy this stop much because he was in the ER at the Bahamas... which made me worried and not super enthused that day to have fun =( 

More on that story later...

 It was so beautiful!

 Me and Aaron on a formal night... not sure why he's not smiling?

 Me and Malia

 So this is what we did while waiting for our dinners, which took a ridiculously long time EVERY night. Late night dining (we didn't choose it) + slow waiter= lots of down time...

 THIS handsome beast is my husband LOL

 This would be Jared... very attractive

And our chipmunk friend Malia

 St Thomas lizard

We had some fun snorkeling on this island. Not a TON to see, but there were turtles and rays that were really cool

 Gotta love the towel animals!

 Malia, me and Stacey at dinner

The girls in our group we formed: me, Malia, Stacey, Paityn, and Kylie

 Well that finishes it... it was an awesome cruise. And I've got to say I have an awesome husband with an awesome job. I complain a lot about moving every summer, but there's not many companies that buys their employees a cruise every year. But Aaron also earned it with his hard work. He's the best!

 We got off the ship again in Orlando and headed to Disney World!!!!

I've always wanted to go, and quickly found out that one day is nowhere NEAR enough time there!

And we totally got the hook up, going to Disney World for FREE!

This is the man that made it happen. Mr. Brent Earl, aka bellhop at the Tower of Terror!!

Since he works at Disney, getting ready for an internship, he got us in for free, free parking, fast passes, and sneaks around the back, to the front of the line again on all the rides. Let me tell you, between all that and no kids, IT'S THE WAY TO GO!

 I have a minor obsession with MJ... anyone remember this??? Since Michael Jackson died, they brought it back, and I was very excited to see it again.

 The Hoyts came with us and the Earls to Disney- it was so fun

I gotta admit, we have a good life.
