Ya, Mon!

So here is where our trip to Jamaica started. We have a sleepy baby and a 2 plus hour plane ride, this can only go two ways, she sleeps or she cries, well I am not going to brag (Yes I am) but we have the BEST baby ever to travel on a plane. She either slept or cooed the whole way there! We are very proud of our world traveler.










Once we finally landed Aunt Sarah could finally hold her niece! What a great first meeting.





This is beautiful Tensing Pen, the resort that we stayed at. We stayed in the " Long House" with Adam's Parents and it was a blast.


We spent our mornings by the pool or in the hammock's eating breakfast and reading books while grandma and grandpa watched Abby. It was so relaxing, we needed the break and couple time.




Abby got in on the pool action too but she had to wait until afternoon. The sun was soo bright that she would cry when we took her out at noon.







Adam and I went to dinner one night by ourselves to the Rock House which was another resort a little down the road from us. It was our second date since we had Abby and we decided we need to do it more often. The food was great and the sunset was amazing!






Grandpa Straw gave Abby a tour of the resort almost everyday, she loves to be walked around and look at all the colors.



Abby is a real ham she loves to entertain people and grandpa and grandma love being the captive audience.


Adam and his dad spent their time playing cribbage on the patio at our house and the view was just gorgeous.



When we originally booked our stay at Tensing Pen we did not know we were having Abby so I called them when we found out we were pregnant and asked about getting a crib. The lady said Ya Mon we have a crib, I said great we won't have to bring the pack n' play with us. This is the crib that Abby slept in, one afternoon I went in to check on her during her nap and this is what I found. Thank goodness cribs have improved since this one was made.



One of the big attractions was jumping off the bridge into the ocean, some people would not even go across the bridge. As you can see there are no hand rails and it is pretty far down.



Adam's Uncle Greg and Cousin Kelsey took the plunge.

We had a really great house keeper named Sonya while we stayed at the Long House and after being there a couple days we asked her if she had kids. She said yes I have 6 ages 13 to 31, we said great, would you watch Abby for us while we are at the wedding? She agreed and it was nice to be able to enjoy the wedding and have Abby play with Sonya in the air conditioning.

We had such a good time in Jamaica, the best part was being with all of Adam's family. The wedding was beautiful and we are so glad we could make it. Jamaica gave us the relaxation we needed. We are trying to plan our next getaway now, we figure if we can take Abby to Jamaica we can take her anywhere!
