Jamaica - Day 5 RELAXATION

Plan today . . . sun and relaxation. Jackson got into the sea gradually and enjoyed it. Then he would come back and crawl up on me as I was lying on my stomach or would come up and slap my butt. Too cute. Tonight is the family dinner at St Andrew's on the resort. It's gourmet so we have to dress up. Then as Dad says, if it wasn't that good we go next door to the buffet!! Speaking of the buffets, we haven't been bad but haven't been good either. Fill up quickly. Typically for me breakfast has been my favorite so far. As for the all inclusive bars, no one has been drunk but Mom has had more than me so far. . . and they aren't weak unless you ask for it. On the first day Em got a rum and coke and wondered where the coke was!!

Jamaica- Day 4 - Dunn's River Falls

Today the whole family did a day in Ocho Rios for Dunn's River Falls. Dad, Emily and I climbed the falls while Jackson and Mom watched. At first it was cold and iffy (had to form a chain and hold hands as we climbed) but once you got use to the temp and a feel for the rocks it was a blast. We got a great picture of the 3 of us that the park took. It was a long day, half on the bus as it was 3 hr ride one way but fun time.

Jamaica - Day 3, Zipline Adventure

What an awesome time!!!! 5 lines with the last and longest at 16, 000 ft! totally worth it. Emily and I purchased the CD of pictures from the zip line tour so once back in the states I will post some of those.

Jackson stayed with Grandma at the resort and when we got back there they were and he also had a bump protruding from his forehead, left. But he his fine and back to himself as he was whinie and slept a lot until today.

Jamaica - Day 2

we have great pictures but it is taking way too long to upload (like 5 minutes just for one).



Day 2 was a relaxing one, a little laying in the sun (not enough to make a difference), shopping and just making plans. Emily and I did make it to the gym and did 25 min cardio. Then we looked at the crafters that will set up here at the resort. . . got a few things too

Jamaica - day 1

Sorry no pictures YET. . . computer going slow, I think there are a lot of people on the internet right now. Day 1 wasn't the best. We arrived without trouble. Jackson was really good with just a few moments of wining. Got to the rooms and they smelled musty, like old water. Then we learned that the keys Em and I were given didn't work for our room (we had gotten in because housekeeping was in there) and Mom and Dad's AC didn't work so we learned that they were gonna move us the next day, same building, 2nd floor with an ocean view. We did that move today . . . better. no smell, keys work and a view! Today was just a day of getting to unwind, a little laying in the sun and planning the rest of the week. Jackson still has a runny nose and cough. He likes the sand, not the water which is surprising to us. We think he is cutting a tooth because he has started to drool a lot.

Tomorrow Emily, Dad and I are going on an excursion while Mom and Jackson hang at the resort. We are going on a Zipline adventure and safari ride . . . stay tuned.
