Vacations are hard work

Matt and I have been working very hard trying to relax and get tan. We managed to relax but have yet to find the secret of how to get tan while wearing 100 SPF (thank you dermatologist recommended Neutrogena). I had some issues uploading pictures so they are very out of order. Here's a brief synopsis of what happened: We took a 7 day cruise to Mexico, Belize, and Isla Roatan. On this cruise we ate 20 pounds of pizza, 5 tons of french fries, and 60 gallons of soft serve. We also went zip lining over the rainforest, went swimming/exploring in underground river caves, made love to a small monkey, and generally lived it up. Then we stayed for 4 days with our good friends Kevin and Nicole who showed us an AMAZING time that included jet skiing in gator waters, swimming in a natural spring, and body surfing in the ocean (read: getting rocked by waves and wishing I wore a one-piece bathing suit).

Our room steward was very handy with the towel folding. This is a pig. Was he suggesting something?
Impromptu conga line at dinner!
24 hour pizza = matt's nemesis

Another benefit of endless/constant food: free spa treatments

Inside the ship.

Love the Liljenquists

The monkey is jumping ship.

A view of what we zip-lined over. If you look closely you can see the wires, and there is the ocean. I felt just like the Bachelorette and even told Matt that I really "felt a connection" with him on our date.

Ready to zip line: who doesn't look good in a splunking helmet and harness?

Happy cruise faces!

So long paradise. What has everyone else been up to this summer?
