O.K. We are probably going to be here for at least 2 and a half more months until Jer finishes school - but after that, I give no guarantees. I must start off by saying that Jeremy wimped out and did not wear a Speedo - so if you are looking for pictures of that sort of nature - Sorry, but he did not go through with it! (So give him a hard time)
Here is a quick re-cap of our vacation:
We flew to Puerto Rico on Saturday the 9th and boarded our first ever cruise line: Princess. We took off and sailed at sea for the first day (Sunday) ... not doing much but hanging out... working on our tan...etc...etc....
Monday = Barbados!
We went boogie-boarding, ate at an authentic hole-in-the-wall joint, and then Jer went swimming with the turtles. We saw where Tiger Woods was married (apparently the cab driver thought that would impress me), and some monkeys chilin' by a tennis court. It was a good start to our trip! 
Tuesday = St. Lucia! We spent the whole day with a taxi sightseeing today. Our driver was pretty lame. He told me that a really sad thing was happening in their government - that woman were being elected and putting men in jail too easily - HA! Anyways, the island itself was one of the most beautiful that we went too. We drove through a rain forest, saw the Piton mountains, and walked through an active volcano! Yee-Haw!
Wednesday = Antigua! We went to a white sandy beach with crystal blue waters. Here we went jet-skiing and shopped (Why do I LOVE designer purses for really cheap?) We do have to say that one of the favorite parts of our trip would have to be the food, glorious food! In fact Jeremy took pictures of just about every meal we ate - I will spare you most of them, but here is one -
plus a picture of Jeremy playing his first game of BINGO (he obviously took it very seriously)
Thursday = St. Thomas! We took a ferry over to St. John's Trunk Bay. This was my favorite spot! The water was beautiful, and the island was friendly and clean. Since it was Valentine's Day Jeremy and I spent a lot of it alone holding hands and snorkeling in the water (Ahhhh, how cute) O.K. so we are majorly cheesy, but it was fun, and Jeremy and I want to go back and vacation at this place again! Here is a picture of the group we were with:
Friday= Tortola! We again took a ferry to a neighboring island, the Virgin Gorda. This place was amazing! We hiked in through these huge boulders to reach a beautiful beach called "The Baths." No one knows how these amazing boulders got there - which is kinda crazy. We went snorkeling there again. This island also made the "I want to go back soon" list.
Saturday = Puerto Rico! We left the ship in the morning and walked around doing a self guided tour of Puerto Rico. I went with some friends into an old fort which was really neat. Jeremy sleep outside and called me "boring." Then we headed home and got stuck in our layover in Texas FOREVER! Remind me to never fly Continental again.
Anyways, we are back and better then ever..... so call us if you want to do something!

What a fun vacation! Looks like a great time. I'm jealous.
That looks like you guys had SO much fun! Scott and I haven't been on a cruise and that looks like the one to take. The pictures were gorgeous and it just makes me want to blink and be somewhere tropical.
No speedo picks?? Come on!! That's not the J. Nelson i know!
`Scott
Your vacation looks awesome!! I am glad you guys had a great time and got to be in the warm sun. Very jealous.
Guess what I will in Utah at the beginning of April so I want to see you guys and meet your darling twins!!
Fun! Great pix, too! You know, you can avoid the winter snow down in St George (freeze your buns, but no snow) ... or think Hawaii if you want to avoid those pesky gulf hurricanes ... just a thought, in case you were serious about moving.
Looks like you had a blast! I am jelous. Good for you for going. You deserve it. I just wish Jeremy would of went through with the whole speedo thing. That would of been hillarous.
Jeremy, have you lost some weight? You look fabulous! No, really. I think you were the fittest dude in the line-up. Have you seen what I wore to work on Halloween, Jer? And you wouldn't wear a blasted speedo?!
