Jamaican Rum (packs a) Punch - post 2

"first breakfast" on our porch!


Yes we are on an Anniversary trip - yes we brought our husbands along! Wasn't that nice of us?




While the boys were bellied up to the pool bar (and becoming besties with the bartenders), Stacey and I learned to make hats!

Martini Mixology class! So many fun things from this "class" 


the boys learned that if they don't follow directions, they have to take a shot of bottom shelf tequila

we learned that there are super-snobs on the resort who don't follow directions and then refuse to take the bottom shelf shot - "don't pour over me" (Adam Sandler movie reference)

we learned that we are cool and well-liked by the staff because we participate and aren't snobs!

and we learned that martinis are actually delicious!







the bartenders loved us - or maybe it was Josh


we were having a great time by this point - can you guess what these are?? Peanut Butter jelly shots

the menu for our super fancy repeaters dinner - it was soooo good!






Jarrett loved this kitty - it was cross-eyed. we named him Farmer Fran but that was a bad reference because it was a different character from the Adam Sandler movie Waterboy 


the next morning we surprised out husbands with matching swim shorts - except with their respective wife's face on them! 

can you tell how thrilled they are! they even matched with their bucket hats!

told you we let them come on vacation with us!

glass bottom boat ride!


our new friend! we were guests at their Jamaican beach wedding a few days later!

King Julian! THE BEST (hands down) boat captain, snorkel instructor, and friend - we both Facebook friend requested him after we left!









Julian dove down and grabbed this star fish for us to pass around and hold!




he found another one to show us through the windows



Booby Cay Island right off the Negril coast

another resort activity! we were all winners!



Blue Mountain Coffee!!


Jamaican bucket hat!



Swept Away dollars! (these came in super handy for souvenirs during the auction)

A sweet little coin purse

my twin! we are both 6-feet tall! we got a big laugh out of Stacey saying we were twins.










tropical thunderstorm meant some downtime on the back porch

the thunderstorm cleared just in time for us to board a sunset booze cruise! Cheers to Jamaican rum punch!






in case anyone ever wonders - we bring the party





they tolerate us








look at these crazies lined up to jump off the cliff!! no thank you.



it started to rain at some point - one of the crew members put a garbage bag over himself to stay dry

another new friend! I don't remember her name - she was fun and had 4 kids! we bonded over that.


swimming into a cave!





yes! I went down the boat slide! it was fun! (all 4 of us did it actually!)

new friends Liz and Dan - from England

I don't remember there names but these are our new friends from Chattanooga maybe?




our boat captain!



Dan and Liz! They were fun to hear talk!


we were singing to Tina Turner's Proud Mary in the night club!

then the boys sang David Allen Coe's You never even called me by my name....

A fun ending to another fantastic day!
