all aboard the Allure of the Seas!

On June 4th- June 12th, Justin and I, along with the rest of Justin's family starting off the summer just right by having the time of our lives on the amazing cruise ship the Allure of the Seas! (My camera was having some issues throughout the time we were gone on the cruise so my picture taking was pretty sporadic, but here are some of the pictures I got of us while on our cruise.)

On the top deck of the ship on the first night of the cruise. It was amazing to look out at the beautiful ocean from the top of the ship.

Our 1st "formal" dinner night. All dressed up to go have dinner at the dining room. Which, I might add, had the most absolutely AMAZING food! I don't think I have ever eaten so much in my life!

Our 1st stop off the cruise ship- Labadee, Haiti. We went snorkeling, shopping, and sun-tanned on the beach. It was a fun day.

Our ship was just huge! Bigger than you can even imagine. I honestly couldn't even tell we were on a ship most of the time. Every once in a while I could feel a little swaying, but I didn't really ever get seasick at all. (Maybe just a little on our first day as we were watching the ship pull away from the dock... that did make me a little sick.)

The girls, waiting for to be seated for dinner in the dining room. We had the best waiter and waitresses and even though there were lots of places for us to go for dinner a lot of the nights we decided to go to the dining room (my personal favorite) because of how much we loved the people who took care of us while we were there.

Our 2nd "formal" night.

Justin's really, really bad sunburn, which he got while snorkeling in Cozumel, Mexico. (Our last stop off the cruise ship- our 2nd stop was in Jamaica, but I didn't get any pictures there... :( )

Our stateroom. That bed behind us is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! (Do you like our matching BYU shirts- we didn't even plan to both wear them that day, it just happened. :) )

Almost every night while on our cruise we would get pizza at Sorrento's as a late night/before bedtime snack. They had super yummy pizza!

Our last night on the ship. I finally got some sun... or should I say I finally got sunburnt! And man, it didn't feel too good. (My legs were really burnt and hurting, and now that we are home they are peeling like crazy! Opps, guess I shouldn't have stopped wearing sunscreen...)

Our cruise was a ton of fun and our time away from home went by pretty quickly. We did so many fun things... went to shows, movies, rock climbing, ate tons and tons and tons, Justin, Mckell, and Curtis tried wave riding, we went snorkeling a few times, the islands we visited were way fun and interesting to see, we ate some more and more, we swam and sat in the hot tub, we slept in everyday, and we did a lot of relaxing. It was a great week. But, as great as it was it was horribly hard to leave my baby boy behind and I was very anxious to get home and be with him. (Not that he missed me at all I am pretty sure!) Nonetheless, the only thing that could have made our cruise any better would have been to have him with us! (Maybe next time?)

I missed my baby Keaton so much! I just haven't even been able to get enough of him since we have been back. He is getting to be such a big boy. He is such a happy baby and was so good for my mom and grandma while we were gone on our trip.
