Jamaica - Ya Mon!

As I mentioned before, Gordie surprised me with a trip to Jamaica for our 4 year anniversary! We were SO excited about the trip and couldn't wait for it to get here. We were able to make it over the MLK weekend so I only had to take 2 days off of work for our 4 day vacation! Neither of us had been on a real "vacation" in years! We were PUMPED to say the least. While we lived in Utah, all of our vacations consisted of coming back home to SC to visit family and while that is still a vacation away from work...it wasn't necessarily a laid back all about us vacation. This was finally our laid back do whatever we want vacation/honeymoon we never got!

I think I had a list and suitcase/car full packed more for Baker going to my parents house for 6 nights than we had packed up for us for vacation but you know me...I had extra clothes and lots of just in case items for him for Nana and Poppy's house.

Here's a picture dump of our trip. We HIGHLY suggest anyone needing an escape to go to Negril Jamaica and go to the Couples Swept Away resort. We had the BEST time and it honestly was a great resort with good food, wonderful views, fun things to do, and most of all great hospitality!

STARVING! @ the Cabana Grill. Gordie loved their jerk chicken
Our room for the stay

This picture doesn't do it justice!
Despite the AC thing almost looking like it is falling off the wall. It was a GREAT room with the decor really showing Jamaican roots with all the wood panels.

Scenic views of our time
Isn't this water just gorgeous?

My hubs!
Beautiful sunset

Waiting for lunch
We definitely ate well during our stay. That's what an all inclusive does to you!
Let's go eat!
How I felt about the football game on TV.
Here's us before dinner on another night

Swim up bar & awesome pool that we only went in once. We stayed mostly on the beach.
The morning we left
Look at big boy! He was soooo happy to see me pick him up at school.
He loves his Jamaican hat!

Big boy when I picked him up from school. He was in the baby room waiting on me since I was a little late getting him. He wouldn't let go of me!
