Negril, Jamaica 10 years!

We had an AMAZING surprise trip to Negril Jamaica to celebrate our ten year anniversary!  We were having a difficult time trying to decide where to go to celebrate our big anniversary.  While Brandon was in Japan he called me and said our trip was booked.  It was so exciting that I didn't know where we were going until we were checking in at the airport.  I can't believe we have been married for ten years and in love for 15!  I am truly blessed to be married to a man who loves the Lord, loves me with an unconditional love, and has given me two beautiful children! I can't wait to see what the next ten years bring!

On to our trip, we stayed in Negril, Jamaica at a Couples Resort called Swept Away!  It was an all-inclusive trip which made it so very relaxing and enjoyable.  We ate unbelievably good food, had tons of yummy drinks, and were able to do a lot of really fun things.  

It's so fitting that the first picture is a picture of food.  I love discovering the new and unique food when we travel.  This is Jack fruit, which I'm pretty sure it is native to China.  It was delicious, and it tasted like a mix between cantaloupe and pineapple. 

Straight from the tree coconuts were probably my favorite drink of the week.  We had yummy fresh coconuts everyday and became pretty good friends with Elliott who cut them open for us everyday. 

 

Here's our buddy Elliott, he was such a sweet guy!

We did a sunset cruise two of the evenings.  I thought this cool little lighthouse was pretty!

Another awesome Couples employee, Juliann, taught Brandon how to sail these fantastic catamarans.  Brandon is now a pro, and if we ever move near the water I definitely see a sailboat in our future.  We loved riding on these.  Brandon got us so far out into the ocean a couple times I was honestly amazed how quick these things would whip through the water.

One of the most special things about the trip was another surprise trip to a really nice restaurant, Ivan's.  We literally ate our anniversary dinner out on our own private cliff.  Below the cliffs were beautiful caves.  When the waves came crashing in the sound of the water and wind that came up through the blow holes were spectacular.  It was probably the most romantic dinner we have ever had!  Oh yeah, the Jamaican food was out of this world!

Below here are some of the smaller cliffs that were below us!

The grounds at the resort and on the beach were gorgeous!

 

These two below are us at Ivan's.  I couldn't get them to move up!

 

We did snorkeling excursions with our buddy Juliann.  He was AWESOME.  He got in and swam with us.  He let us hold sea urchin, starfish, feed fish, sea cucumbers, and all kinds of other super cool sea creatures!  Here are a few we got to hold after we got back on the boat! 

This was the trip of a lifetime!  I love my hubby so very much and had an amazing time unwinding and celebrating!  Love you babe!!!!
