Day 5 was spent at

(St. Maarten for those of you who are slow)

 

 

 

We loooooved this island!   . . . Once it stopped raining!!  The first thing we did was snuba, and it was a blast!  I was definitely kicking myself for not getting scuba certified before we left, but this was a close second in my book.  Unfortunately, no pics to document the wonderfulness.

 

It got very hot afterward and we felt (and looked yucky.)  But we did a little souvenir shopping on the Dutch side of the island.  We didn’t quite make it to the French side, or the nude beach.  Both on my to do list for next time  There were oh, so many activities to partake of on this island but our one little venture occupied pretty much all our time.  So we shopped and then got raked across the coals at Hard Rock Café instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every time I see these pics I wanna cover my face up with a mask!  I am made so ugly by humidity!  And I’m pretty sure this is also the day I got accused of having a baby bump!!  (so in her defense, I had my hand over my stomach, protectively, I guess.)  Whatev.  Between that woman and my grandma, I am wearing spanx from here on out!!

 

 

 

 

IN all honesty, the sun was so bright I didn’t think you’d even be able to see my expression in these pics.  Oops, my bad!

 

 

 

I pride myself in being a prude but hey, every now and then I like to let loose.   Sorry to offend!

Day 6 (My BIRTHDAY!!!)

 

Woke up and got a birthday massage!   The masseuse gave me a gift when she couldn’t believe I was a mom, much less one with 3 kids.  (That was before the stretch marks were unveiled, of course)

 

Got back to the cabin and saw this!! :  D back from the gym, lookin all good.

 

 

 

Had a fabulous birthday on the ocean on a cruise ship.  Even got sang to by the serving staff at dinner.  What more could I ask for??

As if our turtle necked formals and our ‘Mormon tankinis’ weren’t enough to brand us, we actually got called out for our religion twice, once by our snuba instructor and the other time was that night during a comedy show that was kind of lacking, well, comedy.  The dude just went around the room and pointed people out.  I swear he didn’t even have prepared material.  He spotted us all cozy in the front row and said how “cute and happy” we looked.  Then he asked how long D and I had been together.  Then he asked where we were from.  I was literally counting in my head, one one thousand, two one thou-  “You Mormon?”  I swallowed.  “yup.”  I’m sure the rolodex of follow up jokes was just turning circles in his head, but we got off pretty easily.  “Well, you certainly won’t be getting a massive alcohol bill.  What do you guys drink, anyway??  I’ve had 4 cups of coffee by 10 0’ clock in the morning!”  Like I said, we got off easy.  Apparently we didn’t learn our lesson the first time about sitting in the front row!!

 

 

 

 

Other than that we did a lot of hot tub soakin, Piano Mike listenin, game show playin, pina colada drinkin, late night big screen movie watchin, comedy show laughin and dark room nap takin.  Heaven.
