Jamaica!

Brad and I were in Jamaica from April 2nd - 6th. We stayed at a Sandals in Ocho Rios (a beautiful all inclusive resort). This trip was originally planned for last year but then when the Dr. wouldn't let me go we had to cancel. We had a year to use our plane tickets so we decided we should go. It actually ended up working out a lot better that we went this year. We really needed the getaway. Work has been really busy for both of us and Brad has had to travel a lot for his job. Needless to say, things were getting pretty stressful so it was a great break. My mom, Grandma Sallly, and Bailey came down for the week to watch Rylee. They got here on Saturday and we didn't leave til Wednesday so it was nice to see them for awhile too. I was nervous about being away from Rylee for that long. I had never even left her for a night. I was excited though for her to spend all that time with my family and I knew she was going to get lots of lovin. Gramma Vikki was SO excited about watching her! I missed her incredibly but Brad and I had such a great time! The weather the first two days was absolutely beautiful, we ate and drank our moneys worth, and did a lot of relaxing together at the beach and at the pools.

We went on a "romance cruise" one night and it was a blast! We had drinks and h'ourderves and then had a dance party on the way back. One of the Jamaican guys served drinks on his head and even danced with a drink on his head. It was pretty impressive.

We took the hobie cat out for a spin

We had someone take us out on the catamaran, we weren't exactly sure how to do it on our own. It was windy so we were able to get it going pretty fast and also had a lot of water splashing all over us.

Our last day there it rained but it was alright cause it was relaxing and our skin probably didn't need a lot more sun anyways. This picture is from our last night. We went to an Italian restaraunt and we both had an appetizer, bread, soup, salad, a meat entree and a pasta dish. Then after all that we even had dessert! Talk about pigging out!

But the best part of our whole trip was coming home to Rylee!

We sure did miss our little girl!
A special thank you to Mom, Grandma Sally and Bailey for coming down to Indy, taking such good care of Rylee and allowing Brad and I to have a little getaway vacation. THANKS, we sure do appreciate it!
