Matt's 45th Birthday
Creme Brule birthday "cake"
We loved our cruise in the spring so much, Matt and I decided to go again to celebrate both of our 45th birthdays. We headed out of Galveston on a Princess line.
They had amazing desserts! (I was absolutely forced to pause my super-healthy diet.)
A beautiful, if windy, night under a full moon.
The ice sculpture demonstration was pretty cool.
Before and after snorkeling in Costa Maya. We found a little hotel off the beaten track that let us use their private beach (we were the only ones there!), so we dived right in. The neatest part was being surrounded by a huge school of sardines. Thousands of flashing silver bodies all moving in perfect harmony around every obstacle, including me and Matt.
We were literally sitting in paradise!
Next stop was Belize. --You better Belize we went snorkeling here! Amazing perfectly clear, cerulean blue water! We boarded a boat that took us way out into protected waters where we went snorkeling, and then in another location, we petted sting rays and nurse sharks. I even got to hold one like a baby!
After roaming the island for a bit, we got to hand feed tarpauline. Matt nearly got his hand chomped.
In Cozumel, we took the Atlantis submarine tour. I never in my life thought I'd actually get to go down in a submarine. It was amazing, though most of our pictures didn't turn out well because of the dark water.
The food was amazing, especially the desserts. We got lucky and were able to reserve a table next to the back window, so was always dined with the sunset.
