Grand Cayman

Keeping with out "let's try something new for spring break" idea, we booked a trip to Grand Cayman and it turned out to be a great decision.  The airport was an easy process, the island was clean, the people were nice, and we felt very safe walking around as we did not rent a car.  There were so many restaurants to choose from, lots of shopping, great beaches, warm temps, and fun excursions.  Eric and I both agreed that we felt like we barely scratched the surface of things to explore on the island and would love to return.  Maybe next spring break?

 

Waiting for the room to be cleaned.

In the water as soon as they were able to change and run to the beach.

Turns out, our kids love a swim up bar.

Mairin even ran into a friend from school.  They couldn't wait to tell their teachers when they returned from vacation.

Nolan and I did a few morning walks together which was really nice to connect.  We would walk the beach or go over to Caymana Bay for Starbucks.  It was nice.

Mairin loved all the random chickens running around.  I'm pretty sure Eric has no less than 100 chicken photos on his phone.

We did a boat excursion to Stingray Island on Monday afternoon.  They stopped for some snorkeling and then we were off to see the stingrays.  We all got in and felt them but we cannot say that it was something we loved enough to want to do again ;)

I don't have words for this one.

I think she was in dire straights over the pimple on her nose.

More random texts from the girls.  Mairin uses voice to text.  Love how she included the chicken in her text message.  

Grabbed Piccolo's for brunch before heading to the airport on our last day.  We were having the hardest time finding a taxi so the owner was kind enough to drive us there.  The nicest people.

Our flight home was delayed until midnight but we had upgraded to first class and these kids were not going to miss a second of it.  No one slept on the way home but they all conked out the second we got in the car in Ohio.
