Travel & Vacation: Visiting Grand Cayman Island

Look Out Grand Cayman…..ready or not here we come!!!  All 15 of us riding the ferry boat over to Grand Cayman Island!

Our first stop on the cruise was Grand Cayman Island!  The kids were so excited to visit Grand Cayman and were really looking forward to exploring and swimming.  Our ship did not dock on the island so we had to take a ferry boat over to the island.  We arrived at Grand Cayman a little early so everyone had some time to shop, relax, and explore before we headed out on our tour.

Karlie and Brina are ready to go swimming!

Zach’s ready to go too!  Relaxing on the boat ride over!

We made it to Grand Cayman Island!  Where should we go first?

Hey Brina and Karlie, have you seen any pirates on the island yet? 🙂

Brina and Karlie hanging out on Grand Cayman Island!  Their favorite store was the candy store!  They had giant sized gummy teddy bears, a huge box of nerds, and more (we didn’t buy anything but it was cool to see some of the neat stuff they had in the store).

Hanging out with my favorite chickies!

Busy Grand Cayman street.  Did you know that there are over 600 banks on the little Grand Cayman Island?  Guess it is a popular place to have an “off-shore” bank account!

We found a great spot on a balcony to hang out for a few minutes together before going on the tour.  You can see our ship from Grand Cayman Island, it is the one in the middle.

Dad and Jojo talking on the balcony.  That huge boat on the left….yup that’s the one we went cruising on for a week!

Looks like trouble…. (not sure if she is ready to burst out laughing or just chomping on her gum)!

Waiting patiently….

Only a couple more minutes before the tour starts.  Are we ready?  Zach has the right idea….nap time!

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
