Grand Cayman 2025

After a second year in a row, Grand Cayman is quickly becoming one of our favorite vacation spots.  The beach is beautiful, there are so many great restaurants, most of what you need is walkable and the people are very nice.  All of the above have made our vacations a breeze and so relaxing.

We ate, drank and relaxed our way through our week and loved our time as a family.  With the kids getting older, vacations are getting easier as they are more independent.  This allows Eric and I time to relax and enjoy ourselves much more than we did when they were younger.  It's so nice to have lazy days and fun family time with the kids.  I'll cherish these memories forever.

Our flight down to Grand Cayman need to be changed to 5am.  Needless to say, no one slept and everyone was up by 2:30am to catch our flight.  It was exhausting but we arrive safely and all went to be very early.

Beach walks with this guy.  It's hard to find one on one time with our hectic schedule at home so I soaked up these walks.  So fun to chat oceanside and grab Starbucks together.

Sweaty after a walk to the grocery store.  

She didn't make it back.  Needed a taxi.

Nolan's choice of footwear was unusual.  He refused to wear sandals and instead wore socks and suede clogs.  I think he regretted his decision but wouldn't actually say so.

First full beach day.

Matching kiwi, cucumber drinks.  Super yummy.

One of many stops to Piccolino's.

First time eating at Tukka.  It was a cool location and good food.  At one point, the chefs came out and gave the kids gloves and fish guts to feed to the fish in the water.  

Mairin later said to Eric, "they gave me ham to feed the fish."

Another Starbucks run.

More Piccolino's.

The Lulli family was also vacationing at the same time as us and stayed at the condo next door.  It was fun for the girls to have playmates at the pool and we even got to celebrate Claire's 7th birthday at Camana Bay on their last night.

Beach UNO.

Sleepy.

We checked out Tilley's this year.  It's a restaurant right on the beach and it did not disappoint.  Super cool atmosphere, great food and drinks and the perfect spot for family sunset photos.

Not to mention, the rolls!  They were so delicious and came with butter and this spicy/salty shaved coconut.

We like Tilley's so much, we went back for breakfast the next morning.

Beautiful day on the beach.

Mairin made me take a picture of her posed and creeping around in the background.  She's silly.

Last sunset and beach pic before heading up to pack and fly out the next morning.

More UNO waiting for our flight home.

Thank you, Grand Cayman, for an amazing time with our family of five.
