Carnival cruise of the Eastern Caribbean

Okay, there's a few pics here so I'll be brief. This is Andrea and I leaving the hotel in Miami to get on the ship. It is rainy and very cold!

We're on the ship now and drinking already as we sail out of Miami.

This is the pool with rain drops on it!

Leaving the port of Miami. We even saw a few snow flurries! Luckily the weather did improve!

This is the beach at Half Moon Cay, Bahamas looking out at our ship.
Even though it was still a little chilly, we got in the beautiful water!

The boys in front of Cracker Barrel in Tyler, TX. We met some friends there who were visiting family on our way through.

Tom, Tyler, Tracy, Zac, Lynn and Dom. It was great to be able to see them!
