Coco Cay and A Day at Sea

Our first stop on the cruise was Coco Cay.

We spent some time at the beach.

We spotted an iguana that ended up climbing a palm tree.

Some lovely island flowers.

The beautiful blue water and rocky shoreline.

Myself and Max before the ice skating show.

The next day we just relaxed and spent some time walking through the small park on the ship.

The large doom at the front of the ship, which had one panel of cracked glass.

Pretty view at sea.

Honeymoon Cruise

We had a lovely honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean.

Myself, Max, and his mother Julie.

The ship had a really interesting outdoor area full of plants that felt like a park.

My favorite memory of the day was seeing the smile on Max’s face while we exchanged vows.

Max and I met fencing in the SCA, so there were many SCA members and fellow fencers at our wedding. One of them got his swords out of his car and they were a hit!
