Barbados

Day two of the cruise-Barbados!!!
We went with Chris and Megan on a snorkeling and SCUBA excursion.  Dave, Megan and I are certified SCUBA divers, and Christ totally went out of his comfort zone and decided to join us on a dive.  He took an intro to SCUBA class (Megan refreshed her skills too) while Dave and I snorkeled with turtles.  Then we all went SCUBA diving together, and then back to snorkel with the turtles some more.  We ended the day with pina coladas on the beach. Great day.

The beach in Barbados was probably the prettiest one we saw.  The sand was so soft, and the water spots on our underwater camera are awesome too.

Turtle time.

This picture doesn't do it justice how beautiful it was.  The combination of the green trees, white sand and blue water was amazing.

SCUBA diving.  Megan and I are wimps when it comes to being cold-hence the wet suit...the guy next to me didn't want to be cold either.

The dive was a fun one...ship wreck, and a little Ariel-esk feeling looking through the port holes in the sunken ship to see fish.  And Chris survived!  He did almost run out of air though!
After the dive we went back to snorkel with the turtles (after a little planking of course - and no my face is NOT touching the seat.  Gross. Jess, I can't believe you thought I would do that).
It was so cool to be able to see so many, and be able to touch them.

Notice how calm and peaceful Megan and I are here...

and then for some reason we thought the turtles were going to attack us and leave our kids motherless.  We kinda freaked out.

Some guy is building an ark.  That's what is under the black tarp.  If it ever rains enough and I need an ark, I am heading to Barbados!  Note to self: wipe the water off the lens!!! Argh.

That night for dinner we did casual and ate at the buffet. Clearly we never lacked for good food! The pizzas, the brownies, the salads...and I didn't have to cook any of it! Hooray!
