Carnival Dream Family Vacation

We had a great time on our anniversary cruise! We just got back home today.
Our first stop was the Bahamas. The water was beautiful and we had a blast at the beach. Aaron and I tested out our new snorkel gear and I got a chance to use my new underwater camera. Bryce had fun burying Aaron in the sand. That night we celebrated Mammaw and Pappaw's 50th anniversary at dinner.

The next day was a "day at sea." It was also mine and Aaron's one year anniversary. We relaxed by the pool all morning and around lunch Aaron surprised me by telling me I needed to head to the Cloud 9 Spa on board the ship for a massage and facial.  It was awesome! He also got me a silver monogram necklace and had the cabin steward decorate our room.  sweetness :)

The next day we arrived in St. Thomas. We booked an excursion to go snorkeling at Trunk Bay on St. John.  Trunk Bay has been voted the world's most beautiful beach by National Geographic several times.  I went there on my very first cruise almost 10 years ago and I was very excited for Aaron to see it. Here are some pictures from the snorkeling:

 

Our last stop was St. Marten.  Carnival's Dream studios took professional pictures of our family at this stop.  They turned out great. After that, we did some shopping! I have always wanted a Tacori ring and mom helped me score a great deal on one while we were there. These are some of my favorite pictures from the Dream studios shoot.
