They were expecting more babies! They put them in here so they can still dig their way out.

Raven did NOT like this idea!

Turtle soup? My husband said it was GREAT!

Babies!

We drive around the city on our way to the turtle farm.

We get to the turtle farm and get right into it :)

Next stop- HELL!

Fresh Coconut drinks!

We did the Turtle Farm, Island Tour, Hell excursion. I've done it before but thought it was something the little ones/ my Aunt and Uncle would like. I would def. reccomend it.

First stop- Rum Factory. The only thing I was bummed about with this one is usually they have so many to try and choose from but this time they had 2 out to try. Not a big deal but I was telling my aunt she'd have plenty to try and choose from and that wasn't the case. She did enjoy the ones she got though!

Leaving work- I'll continue later!

Logan was quite interested in the towel animal too!

Been on several cruises- never saw a little person before!

Next day was Grand Cayman! My hubby LOVES Grand Cayman [ I tell him that's because he's never done St. Thomas yet but....oneday he'll go too]

waiting to get on the tender

gator fritters [ doesnt' compare to gator bites but very good! ]

Got back to our room and Raven was pleased to see this:

We just relaxed and walked around the ship. I hung out with my baby boy and we got ready for dinner. I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the service at dinner. The entire cruise, we were NEVER ONCE asked if we wanted something to drink [ besides from the bar - if we asked them for tea or milk, they'd tell us they weren't the server for that. We'd even ask the actual server and would get the same response. ].

We got ready for dinner and took a few pics:

eating a lemon!

The next day was a day at sea!

My husband and my daughter hung out at the pool and splash area.

Can you tell he's a breastfed baby?? :)

We were assigned late dining but once we got on the ship we requested to switch it to anytime dining. They did and that worked out so much better with the kids.

There were hurricanes we were running from so hubby got quite sick during dinner and went back to the room. I wonder if it was from the snails? j/k LOL

Back in the room was our first towel animal. Raven [ my daughter ] thought this was the BEST thing and every day after our room attendent asked her what she wanted that night. Very nice of him!

Better late then never, right? Here is my Inspiration review from September 5th-10th, 2011. We went for my husband's 30th birthday. It was Me, My husband, My daughter[ 5 ], my son [ 7 months ], and my aunt and uncle [ their first cruise! ]. We went to Grand Cayman and Cozomel.

We had never been to the Tampa port before but it's only about 2 hours away so had plenty of time to get there. My uncle packs EVERYTHING and brought us walky talkies. Worked out great in the car ride there too since we got turned around. We talked to each other through the walky talky and a police officer came on and told us to make a left and keep on going and we'd see the ship! Nice of him!

We got on and went straight to the buffet. I was a little worried because it was so packed and HOT inside the ship, as if there was no air conditioning and I was hoping it wouldn't be this way the whole cruise [ it wasn't! ] but realized it was just because, duh...nobody was in the cabin yet!

We took a walk around to check stuff out:

To be honest- as an adult [ right after he died ] we did same one and I was nervous but as we pulled up on the boat- and I saw so many other people doing it, I was reassured. It's a great one! Have fun!
