A Piece of Paradise

Off on our honeymoon to Ocho Rios, Jamaica...from Roanoke->Charolette->Montego Bay!!  We were sooooo excited, but exhausted from leaving in the weeee hours in the morning...things start getting fuzzy from there, lol!
Yay!!  We made it to Montego Bay...little did we know, we still had hours on a, so called dirt road w/ several stops for shopping & Red Stripes until we finally made it to the RIU in Ocho Rios...
 
                                       Beautiful view from our room
                            Chris gettin' ready to show off his beach volleyball skillz
                 While we were sitting on one of the lobby patios, waiting to eat dinner...
Part of the RIU, where we stayed...taken while we were on a paddleboat...yes, I said a paddleboat, lol!  We were a little far out, needless to say, we got our exercise for the week getting back to dry land, lol!

Jamaica is just beautiful!  Other than the town people in the boats & standing in the water that were dying to braid my hair, and wanted us to buy anything from homemade necklaces to illegal substances...it was perfect!  Don't get me wrong, the Jamaican people were nice...especially after we explained that we were on our honeymoon....and Chris was a policeman(okay, so that's not true, but it sure did make them STOP asking us if we wanted any illegal stuff!). 

Can you tell we LOVED the food!!  And notice the wine glasses in the bottom pic...look familiar?  Yep, they're in my cabinet...compliments of ME!  Long story short, we were supposed to get a honeymoom pkg including wine, choc. covered strawberries or a fruit platter in our room upon arrival...well, someone dropped the ball & bridezilla wasn't very happy!  After discussing this w/ mgmt, we returned to our room to find....a rinky dink plate with fruit from the fruit bar!  NOT FUNNY...so, we took the matter into our own hands & needless to say, brought home some pretty awesome RIU souvenirs!!

1st Day of Fall 2012

What can I say, other than the 1st day of fall is absolutely beautiful! (even though my girls want to watch Christmas movies today).  Hailey isn't feeling very well, but managed to play outside and enjoy the weather for a little while...and of course get a few pics of the kiddos with our glamorous glittering pumpkins...so girly! Some other accomplishments this week...Hailey read the bedtime story 2 nights ago...might have been a "Dick & Jane" book, but mommy was so proud! Lindsey has taken on "spitting" which we are trying to break!  She also gets a big kick out of putting her mouth on mine or Chris' belly and blowing, followed by, "I pooted!!"  Yep, I think she might be our tomboy...  Hailey had the best attempt at getting Lindsey to try to stop spitting by saying, "Lindsey! Stop spitting or you're going to turn into a BOY!!"  Lindsey responded, "Oh noooo!" with her hands on her cheeks and hasn't att...
