Cousin Jake is getting married in Jamaica…
At an adults-only resort.
So Mom and Dad are off on a couple’s adventure
For only the 3rd time in the 17 years since having kids
(And definitely the most extravagant trip!)
The first day was a loooong day of travel—
And topped off with a big family dinner.
(And their new friend Shamar at the end there)
The next day,
They tried out the aqua bikes—
Which clearly NO ONE can make look cool.
They were actually a lot of fun.
The afternoon brought rain—
Which isn’t unexpected
(It rains every afternoon in most tropical places we’ve visited).
But the AMOUNT of rain was unexpected.
It POURED for several hours,
So much that the pool nearly flooded the pool bar
But they made the best of it,
Grabbing some drinks and sitting in the pool.
The big bummer though
Was that their big wedding party catamaran trip had to be cancelled.
Clearly didn’t slow anyone down too much—
Chelsea is still smiling!
(And yes, she does have a swim suit on
Even though it looks like she’s hanging in a bar
With a bottle of wine in her bath towel!)
Once the lightning subsided,
They headed back to the ocean
With the crew to hang out until dinner
How about an after dinner swing?
Day 2 started out beautiful
But the afternoon brought rain again…
And a cancelled catamaran.
But rain just brought card games
And a cool sunset
Day 3…
Gorgeous again!
Mom and Dad went snorkeling this morning
And saw some awesome trumpetfish,
Urchins, anemones, and even a ray
They came back to find the Mother and Father of the Groom
Relaxing on morning of the big day
Sounds like celebratory espresso martinis are needed!
Mema and Pappo took a hit from Steve and Carol
And had a very similar relaxation plan
Mom and Dad can’t sit that still.
They went kayaking instead.
But they eventually relaxed a bit
Before heading to the wedding
(More on that later)
The made the absolute most of the last day,
Starting with more snorkeling,
Paddle boarding with the starfish,
And another round of breakfast espresso martinis with the family
And guess what?
The catamaran trip finally happened!
Gotta love a catamaran!
They moved up the time today—
And barely beat the weather out!
The rode to the other side of Negril
And got to swim in a cave
And you should see the video of Pappo going down
The huge slide on the boat!
Then it was Happy Hour on the beach
(Yes, those are shots…)
Soaking in every last minute
Surrounded by tons of little starfish—
They called this one Lucky!
And tonight,
They finally saw the Negril Sunset everyone raves about…
A few days away every 17 years
Were probably deserved…
And enjoyed to the max
