Back to reality.
It has taken a couple of days to get back to normal but I think we are about there.
We were gone for 8 days, and went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
It was wonderful, and relaxing....well, for us at least.
While we were away my mom came and watched our kids for us.
Four kids consume your day, and your nights, and even the minutes you are trying to be alone in the bathroom seem to get interrupted by them.
She had all four of them all to herself for 8 days. If babysitting was a WWF wrestling match my mom would have one of those huge gaudy gold belts. Since I couldn't find one of those on our trip, we brought her back some vanilla, and nail polish.
Because nothing says "You are a Saint" like tasty baked goods and pretty toes, that you have to bake and paint yourself.
I was thinking of buying her a star, but...well, those are expensive...so I suppose the stuff we got will have to do.
Seems a little meager, for a job well done.
I figure that the easiest way to get through the onslaught of pictures is just to break it down day by day.
Except for these.
They get their own post because they are "misfit pictures". Fun to look at but don't really belong anywhere.
In our room for the first time.
Notice the giddy grin? You would smile too if you knew that you would be kid free for a week.

Animals that they make and leave you on your bed: 
I think by the end our guy ran out of steam. If this towel didn't have eyes I would figure our guy didn't know how to fold a towel correctly. 
This picture started it all. Which seems appropriate.
They are a handsome couple.

The boat.
The food.
I ate, and ate, and when I was not hungry I would eat some more.
Some fun food that we ate included:
Crocodile, shark, escargot, and frog legs.
We also had lobster, steak, shrimp, enough desserts to make me diabetic, and street tacos in Cozumel.
They were so good.
Blake's goal was to have a fresh coconut in every port. 
He managed 2 out of 3. 
He was also kind enough to share. 
And although he looks thoroughly disgusted I promise that he said something along the lines of "Mmmm. This is so good." 
The coconut may have been the highlight of Jamaica for Blake.
