Castaway Cay and Last Days

Our last stop was Castaway Cay which is Disneys private island.  Al signed up for the 5k on the island but it got moved to the ship due to an emergency stop for someone that died in St Thomas, so heartbreaking.   The island was beautiful and the weather was perfect.  We decided to leave Brady on the boat so we could swim and play at the beach with the boys.  I was a little worried with nap time but he survived and did great.

A huge bbq feast for lunch, seriously the best day.

Towards the end of the day we put Cole and Alex in the kids club and went on bike ride around the island to check out everything.

Our last dinner on the ship with our wonderful servers.  They sacrifice so much to make a living for their families, I hope they get to go home soon to see them.

Al was writing a paper for school and had to interview some influential people so he ask Commodore Tom, haha.  Cole and Alex also asked him who is driving our ship if your down here and he told them Captain Hook, they thought that was pretty cool.

My picture of a picture because I was too cheap to buy them, haha. Our next cruise I will be taking as many pictures as they offer and purchase the album which is the best deal.

Our last night we let the boys swim in the pool and watch a movie.  We also happened to sit next to some people that were from Frisco and lived in the neighborhood next to ours, so random.   It was such a fun trip that hopefully we will all remember.  I hope we can do it again in a few more years.

St Thomas and More

Al and I decided to put the boys in the Kids club for St Thomas and go explore the island. I was a little worried for Brady and felt kind of guilty leaving them on the ship, but it was great to spend some time alone with Al.  We took a bus to a beach and it looked just like Tortola, haha.

We had lunch in downtown St Thomas and explored the streets, so many pretty walkways and alleys.

Al found phone service so he caught up on emails, I think he lasted 4 days.

Found the splash/water pad

Mini golf

Lunch at our favorite restaurant, Cabanas

My cute Cole, love this funny kid.

A mystery game the boys were obsessed with, we played it a couple times.  Cole still says mom remember when we played that game on the Disney Boat and it was the lady with red lipstick.

Princess meet and greet.

Pirate Night

The theme night on our cruise was pirate night.  It took me a long time to find and organize all these costumes.

The only good picture we got in our pirate costumes so bummed.  Al was not about waiting in line for the professional pics.  

We had the sweetest maid, such a hard worker and so friendly.  It breaks my heart that they don't get to see their families for months at a time, god bless all of them.  

Tortola

Our first stop was Tortola, the boys had breakfast on the patio.

All ready for our expensive bus ride around the island

Beautiful views in Tortola

Our short trip to the beach which quickly turned into a rainstorm

Cole still has tubes in his ears so he's supposed to wear ear plugs and this headband so he doesn't get water in his ears, ha.

Mom I love the beach, can we move back to California.

I can't even handle how cute these 2 are, love them both so much.

The ride back to the ship was long but  we made it in time for lunch, naps, and the boys went to the Disney club.

Baby Race

Everyone slept great on the cruise, Brady ended up in our bed every night, but we all slept.  How awesome is this mini round bath tub, the perfect size for Brady.

Dinners were amazing.  Whatever drinks you ordered the first night they would be sitting there for you every night following.  They cut up the kids meat for you, do fun jokes, have coloring stuff, every detail is thought out, so great.

Love this sweet blonde hair boy, can't believe he's not my little baby and toddler anymore.

Cole partied a little too hard and fell asleep at dinner, haha.

Getting Minnies autograph.  Every night after dinner they had amazing shows that we got to watch.  Surprisingly Brady even sat through them with us

A special Disney Junior breakfast with all their favorite characters.

We entered Brady in a baby crawling contest and sadly he lost and wouldn't even crawl.

Al and I were laughing at how many people showed up to watch.
