JAMAICA!!

Last week I was fortunate enough to go with a few girlfriends to Jamaica for 5 days. It was a total blast - definitely one of the most exciting (yet relaxing!) things I've ever done. Thank you Kara for talking me into it & thank you Scott for being so supportive!

Each day Kara surprised us with a different fun item to wear, I'm sure it won't go unnoticed, just thought I'd explain:)

DAY 1
~beads and bracelets in Jamaica colors~

lunch at the Chicago Airport on the way there
(Mandy, Katie, Kara, Amy)
(Amy & me)
we had 30 min after we ate lunch so we ran to this hall of lights to take pictures


at the Montego Bay Airport
the shuttle from airport to resort

FINALLY at the resort after a LONG day of travel

...& sipping our yummy virgin pina coladas at Karaoke night
before we rocked the house with our amazing talent!

DAY 2
~matching shirts & eye patches (to be seen more on day 4)~

the view from the balcony of our room


cute treasure chests, pirate candy, & eye patches that Kara set out for us in our room for Pirate movie night

breakfast at the buffet
DELICIOUS pineapple!

testing out the ocean!
playing at the water park





virgin daiquiris to cool off
our first Jamaican sunset





night time entertainment




DAY 3
~sea shell bras~

in the lobby before breakfast
more water park fun


playing in the ocean

the swim-up bar


we had to do something with all the free beer...so we washed out hair with it:)
It was FREEZING!



dressed up for the evening...

first the Asian Restaurant for dinner



then to the Italian Restaurant for dessert



(and a little more dinner)

DAY 4
~rasta hats & feather boas~

fun at the beach









being pirates by the "black pearl" at the water park




the front desk

back to the pool for a final swim...or nap in Kara's case

so we decorated her with pretty flowers

our last sunset



dinner at the Jamaican Restaurant




dancing


DAY 5

at the Montego Bay Airport, headed home:(
a sign at the airport reading "come back, come back to Jamaica"
- exactly what we all want to do, of course!
Thanks Kara, Mandy, Amy, & Katie for making this amazing trip so fun and memorable!!
