Cruise, Cruise, Cruise

As all of my 5 readers know, we just got back from a wonderful vacation!! We cruised out of Miami to Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had a great time! I'm going to do this blog by day, with mostly pictures and captions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
The first day we took an early flight to Miami, where we were greeted by one of Jonathan's long time friends, Stephanie. We hung out at her house with her and her kids for a couple hours and then when her husband Jeff came home and the babysitter arrived, we drive a little ways into the city of Miami for dinner. It's a beautiful city! Jeff said it's one of the cleanist cities in the nation, both because of upkeep and because the sea winds keep smog from collecting. We drove all around and saw all the sites! It was our own private tour.

So, with the city on the left side of this next picture, you drive down this long stretch of highway to get to South Beach. It is a different world down there. We were there on a Friday night and it was like being on the Las Vegas strip! People were everywhere!

Off the highway there were these little bridges that would take you to the islands on the left. This particular island is "Star Island" and has no public access. Supposedly we saw Hulk Hogan's house ;)

As I mentioned, at the end of the highway is South Beach, and this is what the beach looked like during the day!! Spring Break for sure!

What a place! After the tour we went back to our hotel room to rest up before the cruise. See ya tomorrow!
