Jen and Wade grew up in 2 Modest Middle Class Family's.
Their Mom's and Dad's worked very hard to raise the Kids.
These Kids had everything they needed, and that took alot
of the incomes the Mom's & Dad's made.
Vacations were usually going and seeing out of state Family.
Or week-end, in-state traveling.
Well these Kids are now seeing the USA and the World,one trip a year,
and they are taking their Daughter along for the ride.
They decided now that Madison is older they will give her
Memories of Disney World, The Alamo, Padre Island & The Gulf....
and this year a 7 Day Carnival Cruise.
This is what they woke up to every morning.Ocean on all sides and no land in sight!
Jen was so afraid she would get Sea Sick she boughtall kinds of Stuff for the illness.
She never used any of it.
These smiles are for real, no puke bags in sight!
Wade did alot of reading and just plain relaxing.He did not Crunch one Number for 7 Days.
Jen said Madison would have been at the manyswimming pools 24-7. So she did alot of lounging
by the pools and
drinking Pina Coladas (Virgin, no Rum, of course)
with Little Paper Umbrellas.
Madison also liked the Pineapple & Coconutconcoctions.
There was one night they had to get all gussiedup for "The Captians Dinner". The rest of the
time it was ultra-casual, except.......
Jen said all the Senior Passengers (in their 80's)
dressed Cruisey all the time.
She said the Senior Ladies wore alot of Torquoise color
and the Senior Men wore all White...
Pants, Shirts and Shoes.
Well, I'm with the Seniors! If you are going to
Cruise the Caribbean,
do it in style!
Madison looked like a Tourist in Cazumel.
Somewhere, and you will have to ask Jen,they got to get off the Big Boat and
and have some fun in the Ocean's Salt Water.
They went Snorkling. That's Jen waving.She said the water was crystal clear and
she saw Salt Water Fish and Corrals...
just like in the Denist Office!
They also got to Swim with the Sting Rays!This is a Large Sting Ray laying on Jen's tummy.
Now that's Fun! (????)
Jen said the Trip also had a down side to it.She said most People are very poor and try
to sell anything.
These are Fresh Coconuts for sale $3.00 each.
This Lady sits all day weaving Straw Bags,hoping someone will buy one.
One thing Madison wanted so bad
Well Madison got the braids and loved them.
This is Jen and Madison in a T-Shirt Shop.
One thing Madison wanted so bad was to have her hair braided and beaded.
This Lady just walks around with her little
bag, that Madison is holding, and offers to
braid hair. This is just on the sidewalk and you
can see Wade's knee where he is sitting on the curb.
Well Madison got the braids and loved them.The only problem was they were so tight she
could not sleep that night, so Jen had to take
them out.
This is Jen and Madison in a T-Shirt Shop. She said the Shop was the size of my Tiny Bathroom.
We did all get T-Shirts as souvenirs.
She also said
the People there loved having their pictures taken.
This is just a drop in the Bucket of the many
pictures Jen took.
So I am now warning you,
if you go to
Jen & Wade's be prepared to look at the
Vacation Pictures!!!
