long overdue

We had the best time on vacation, it was definitely one of our better ones!!! I could totally live there! We arrived on Wednesday afternoon and left the following Monday(our 7th anniversary). I tried to talk hubby into one more night, but I couldn't quite work the magic. :( I was going to give you a day-by-day description, but I'm sure you're more interested in the pictures, so I'll just skim over the highlights of the week.

We went on a sunset/dolphin cruise(for free, but there's a catch isn't there always? We attended a timeshare doo-hickey & they gave us loads of freebies) We were both snapping pictures like crazy, but those dolphins are quick little suckers and neither one of us got any good pics of them. It might have had something to do with the boat rocking back and forth on those huge waves. I was having trouble standing, much less trying to take pictures and not lose my camera overboard. We did get some beautiful sunset pictures and DH was taking pictures of all the other boats!! It was fun none the less, and I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance! Free or not free, I'd do it again!

One of our other freebies was dinner at this seafood & oyster bar....I don't eat fish of any kind, but J said it was really good and my chicken/pasta was delish! Way better than I expected...Mmm, I could go for some of that right now, too bad I can't remember the name of the dish. ;)

The other awesome thing we did was jet ski on the(drum roll, please)...OCEAN!! So much fun!!! I did warn hubby that if he knocked me off I would be less than happy...In fact, I would've been scared to death! I mean, there are sharks down there and I was not trying to test the waters. Haha! We started off on the bay side and went out about 600 feet and the water was only a foot deep. Everyday, there would be close to 30 boats out on that part anchored out and having a party! I could totally live there!! In fact we drove around and looked at a few houses that were for sale. We found this one, but I think it's a teeny bit out of our budget! But if I could, I would buy it and invite all my blog friends for semi-annual visits...Be sure and check your mail, you wouldn't want to miss this invite!! ;) ;)

We ate, we shopped(though, not as much as we usually do. There was an outlet mall 1/2 a mile from where we stayed, coincidence? I don't think so!) we went to the beach a lot! I found this huge, unbroken shell. It's bigger than my hand, so cool! I took a ton of pictures of the ocean. J kept saying, "I think you have enough" but I can't help it, the waves are so pretty and serene. Have I mentioned, I could totally live there!?!?!

Okay! Now for the good part...










And a special thank-you to my friend Sherry who commented on every picture-post while we were gone! It was very thoughtful of you & it didn't go unnoticed!
