Alex and I love traveling alone, as a family, and with family. I mean, really as long as we’re traveling to rad places, we’re happy!\u00a0Alex and I didn’t spend a whole lot of time alone, as we were super excited to enjoy\u00a0our trip with family and Marlowe<\/a>, but we did make sure to sneak in at least a bit of time to enjoy ourselves. Is there anything else you could want out of a vacation? Sunshine, ocean breeze,\u00a0tropical gardens<\/a>, family time, and adult relaxation time, we had it all.<\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is his “uh babe, can you and your bathing suit move outside to nap?” face. And so we did.<\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alex really wanted\u00a0his pineapple drink. He dreamed about it for a while. Well, he was happy and I was so happy for him when we realized they were in fact serving drinks out of pineapples on board. I even had a few sips too (and now I’m craving pineapple).<\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vacation snuggles = best snuggles.<\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just as Marlowe enjoyed exploring the ship— we did too. We even tried the casino<\/a> for a hot minute. But literally only a minute. I think he played one slot machine and we both agreed casinos weren’t for us. We did enjoy the arcade though! With and without Marlowe \ud83d\ude42 I kicked his butt at air hockey.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

We had my brother Chris watch Marlowe one evening so we could have our\u00a0Chef’s Table<\/a> night out. We got dressed and headed out, but not without enjoying some night time air first.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

Very windy nighttime air \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

And on one day, we enjoyed a few hours off the ship alone too. Marlowe headed off on her submarine excursion with my family while Alex and I explored Grand Cayman<\/a>. We planned for a beach day, but the air was a bit too chilly and the clouds were a bit too present for it to happen.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead we wandered around nurseries— because we are apparently the weirdos who even enjoy to do this on vacation, haha.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

Then found a cute juice bar (thank you kind people of Instagram who gave me all the recommendations!!)<\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Had a healthy juice and enjoyed a snack.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

And I ordered the most expensive chai tea of my life. These things are luxuries on islands for sure. I also enjoyed the fact that it was served in a panther coffee holder— a florida coffee company \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

And we checked out produce markets too! Before taking the local bus back to the area of the port to meet back up with my family for lunch.<\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we lounged. A lot. I did this on my own too, when Marlowe and Alex would play mini golf.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ODD_Post10_IMG18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

But it was nice to lounge with Alex too…. and his pineapple \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
