20 YEARS!

Eric and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year!  It is CRAZY how fast 20 years has gone!

We celebrated with a trip to Jamaica.  We had never done a Sandals trip so we decided to splurge with the Millionaire Suite and a butler!




We spent hours every day in the water soaking up the rays!


Those spots in the pool and on the ocean were our favorites!  We did leave them one evening for massages...it was worth it!  We also took a catamaran one afternoon to Rick's Cafe to watch cliff divers and then stopped at Margaritaville for dinner.

When traveling, we like to drink what the locals drink so Red Stripe beer it was!  We also had a margarita when we went to Margaritaville.

Please overlook my horrific hair!  When we arrived at Rick's cafe we had to swim in to land.  We literally plunged into the water from the waterslide off the back of the catamaran....goodbye cute messy bun.


I like my wildlife so I am always on the lookout.  While in Jamaica we saw lizards, crabs, a hermit crab, a sting ray, barracuda, a puffer fish, thousands of minnows, starfish, and a peacock.  The locals had cows, horses, and lots of goats!  The pastures were not always fenced, so I found that interesting.

Unfortunately this guy got in our pool one night and died before we found him the next morning (otherwise I would NOT be holding him.)



 We tried a couple of new things by taking the kayaks and paddle boards out on the ocean.


Along with our Red Stripe, we ate Jamaican patties!  Tastey!

Everyone was excited to see each other when we arrived home.  Chips was at doggy daycare until the following morning.  Cameron and Cade even got up early to go bring Chips home.

Cards Win!

Eric and Cameron took advantage of the Cards playing close to home by driving up to Chicago to watch them play the White Sox.
