so far behind!

Pardon me, but where the heck did summer go?!?! I am thrilled beyond belief for fall since it's my favorite season, but it's just crazy how quickly things went this year. Since most everyone who reads this also is on facebook, I am not going to post all of the pics from our cruise. Frankly, I don't have the TIME!! And I want to get caught back up.

But what I am including is a video that I shot while at the Tulum Mayan Ruins during our cruise. We had such a fantastic time. We spent most of our days doing some serious relaxing up near the Carnival fin. It is so loud up there and the wind blows, so it's hot but so relaxing because you always have the wind and the sound of the fin drowns out much of the other silly noises that happen on a cruiseship. We had a great time with Jeff and Laura. Many funny times and great memories with fantastic friends...doesn't get much better than that!

Highlights of our trip included swimming with a dolphin (oh.my.good.ness. they are fascinating! and soft as can be! i can't wait to do it again one day...), swimming with the stingrays in their natural habitat (we kissed them which is they Cayman Islands' form of good luck, let them ride on our backs, held them and even fed them which was the absolute weirdest feeling in the universe!), and the Mayan Ruins at Tulum (this was probably our favorite day. The history was so interesting and the view...as you can see in the shaky video...is beyond breathtaking! Plus on that day, we had the most amazing food and beer!)

Enjoy the video and check out our pics on facebook if you want to see more!
