The pictures uploaded from last to first and I don't know if it's upside down day or what, but this is definitely an it-is-what-it-is situation because ain't nobody got time to re-upload everything!
It started with Ash and I planning a couples Caribbean cruise on her week off of school in February, and then we invited my parents and brothers definitely not thinking they'd all say yes, but holy Hannah THEY ALL SAID YES!!! This probably shouldn't come as the biggest surprise since our family motto is McKee's Show Up, and we're also a little clingy, but I was still so pleased that we all made it happen and we had the best time ever. Usually I end a vacation ready to go home and start my life and routine again but this time was the exact opposite. If you had parachuted my kids onto the ship I could've stayed there with those people forever, it was amazing!
Here are the detes for memories sake: 7 day cruise with ports in Jamaica, Bahamas, Grand Cayman and Turks and Caicos. Favorite drink: chocolate banana and virgin strawberry daiquiri. Best beach: Turks and Caicos. Funnest game: Bank. Something I'm proud of: Learning the wobble and our family leading the whole ship in a midnight dance party. Moment I won't forget: Formal night and the guys all wearing their crazy suits. Who watched the kids: McKenzie Childs, bless her for allowing us to have a week of no-stress adventure and fun!
That there is alligator, tastes like chicken!
My parents and James and I had a later flight than the rest of the crew so we booked a river cruise to see the billion dollar homes on the canals and it was epic!
Never ever ever enough drinks for me, ever!
Bought a fake wedding ring on the ship and thinking about wearing it forever!
Voice of the Ocean was so stinking fun. There were some super talented singers on our ship.
Grand Cayman:
We waited an hour and a half for our lunch before finally bailing and grabbing street food. It was such a beautiful place to rest and look at the crystal blue water...but definitely not to eat!
Will never get over the curl in Chase's hair when my hair is as straight as a board!
This was what I was most scared about on our trip because if you know me at all you know that animals and I have an interesting understanding, but this was actually a highlight. SO MUCH FUN!!!
Yep, we rode on a real life pirate ship!
If you can't find me, ten bucks says I'm at the bar with a virgin bevy!
JAMAICA:
Dunns Falls did not disappoint!
Swimming with dolphins was a bucket list item for me, check and check!
We stopped at a random roadside shop in the middle of Jamaica and Jordan and Mad's tour bus (different excursion) stopped there too. It felt so fun and meant to be!!!
I love that smile on his face!
We said we were going to get in casual clothes for games and came out in the same outfit!
FORMAL NIGHT:
THIS MOMENT TOOK THE CAKE!!! They were such great sports about this! Super fun.
We danced our stinking hearts out!
Bling bling
I will never ever ever forget that soft serve machine!!!
TURKS AND CAICOS
James saw this and instantly was like, "we need to take a pic for T!"
We were trying to camouflage with the sunset and I think we were pretty spot on!
My underwater camera case was the best money I spent leading up to this trip. We took pictures for hours and had so much fun!
One more because it's rare that it's just me and him and nothing to do!
Madelyne is the most beautiful pregnant woman ever! I made her take this picture and she was such a good sport. I love it!
Hats and high ponies is how we roll.
Hot chocolate to bring to every port, because I could!
BAHAMAS:
What James wanted to find in the Bahamas.
What I wanted to find in the Bahamas.
I bought these as a Christmas gift for all the ladies and I loved the way they turned out!
The cruise from the port, that baby is big!!!
They didn't always share a room or bed but when they did it looked like this haha!
How can you not do something like this when you meet a rainbow wall?!
Isn't this the truth after the rainy winter in Sacramento!!! Loved the Florida sun!
Oldest and youngest right here!
Roll call!
Found a fellow airport swiftie and made her take a pic with me!!!
First drink of the trip, an icy airplane Diet Coke
