warning: this post has entirely too many pictures and most of them being selfies. what can I say, thats all you can expect when you go on a vacation with just your and your husband, so sorry!
Cody and I went to Jamaica last week! Woo! We had the time of our lives and now we're reminicing on the sweet coconut juice we drank, crystal clear water all while picking off our peeling sunburns, yuck.
We truly had such a wonderful time! I'm just a picture person, it was difficult to get plenty of pictures with just myself and Cody.. so lots of selfies it is, haha!
We took all of the water pictures with a GoPro camera and they turned out great!
here's a short little video of us taking a "picture" aka video at the famous Dunn's River Falls. see how fast that water is rushing down? Well shortly after this video was taken I put the camera in my swimsuit top so that I could record the hike while holding onto someone infront and behind me... and I bent over to go under a bride and the camera FELL OUT. I felt SICK! my sweet husband reminded me that it's just a thing and it's okay... but a few minutes later a tour guide brought it back to us, whew!
let's talk about how beautiful that water is!! this is us on a catamaran boat ride to the waterfall
here we are at the Dunn's River Falls... I opted to exit the waterfall at the 3/4 way mark. I was way too exhausted and the whole time I was so stressed about slipping and busting it on a rock. Cody wanted to keep going but he left with me :) he was such a great servant to me this entire week!
snorkeling :)
Cody LOVED the GoPro camera and probably could've enjoyed vacation with it alone and wouldn't even notice if i wasn't there ;) just kidding. But this picture was his idea, "let's sit in front of a wave and take a picture as it crashes into us!" I personally love how it turned out!
alittle out of order, but here we are leaving the airport in Jamaica... pale, tired, and alittle shocked that people were already smoking!
here's our view as you leave our room to go into the resort.. if you look, you can see mountains in the background. it was gorgeous!
here's the view from our balcony
my first jamaican breakfast :) they had a huge buffet for every meal! In the mornings they had pitchers of just made smoothies that you could pour. I always got the banana, yum!
I abosolutely loved this view, this was walking down the "hall" from the eating area to the beach or lobby with the beach in the background
let's take a minute to discuss the importance of sunscreen-on our first morning in jamaica we had from 9:30-10:00 to hang out before we met with our "travel lady" to arrange bus rides, etc. so i figured it would be okay to go without suncreen for that short amount of time. Cody is more fair skinned than me so he wanted me to rub sunscreen on him, so I did. then I placed my hand on my thigh... hence this lovely handprint :( the burn is just as bad if not worse on my chest and calves. I'm literally peeling as a write this... that was definitely my only regret of the whole trip!
Us after dinner one night. Why is it pitch black? The sun ROSE at 5:30am and went down at 6:30pm!! it was crazy! we disconnected from technology so never had any clue on time but were shocked the first morning when we woke up thinking we slept the day away but it was only 5:45am!
so on our first full day, these men walked by on the beach in full hunter green clothes carrying machetes. I was bit scared but they offered us a coconut. So, they little climbed up a palm tree and pulled one off, hacked the top of the coconut off and put a straw in it!
We met another couple on the resort and they told us about this bungalo restaurant if we kept walking along the beach past our resort. it was the cutest thing. see how close the waves come to the tables?! We shared a lobster (cody's first lobster experience ever!) and it was delicious!!
RIP pale, healthy skin
If you stuck around this long, congrats!!
