Grand Cayman 2004   A beautiful ocean right outside our condo! We were astounded by the water and the wonderful hospitality in Grand Cayman! View     Our condo at Aquabay... This is the view from our back door of the condo at Aquabay. It was just awesome- just steps away from the pool and beach. View     The Turtle Farm... We had a blast at the Turtle Farm. They have thousands of green sea turtles that they farm. Some are released back into the ocean and a few ... well... they make really good stews there I hear! View     We even went to Hell! Hell is a very very small little town (barely) in Grand Cayman that boasts some interesting land formations that appear somewhat hellish. So they made it into a tourist trap! It was a short jaunt by the Turtle Farm, so what the Hell! View     Stingray City Stingray City (or in this case, Stingray Sandbar) is a bizarre attraction that is amazing to behold! Tons of extremely large and unbelievably friendly stingrays (stingers intact) swim about, rubbing on your body like a kitty cat does. It's quite creepy, but cool. Adrienne was a little take aback by it all! View     Snorkle boy! Michael is a natural in the ocean! We were amazed how fearless he is! He loved Stingray City even more than all the snorkel trips we went on! View     Adrienne loved snorkeling too! Adrienne is a great diver, and she loved feeding the fish underwater! View     Jim with the kiddos! This was the ocean right outside our condo. Lots of great fish too look at! Cemetery Reef is just a 5 minute walk away! Glorious fish! View     Michael at Rum Point! Rum Point was so much fun. We snorkeled and even saw a large sea turtle swimming around with us! Here's Michael climbing one of the more friendly iguanas there! View     Swabbing the deck on the Jolly Roger The pirate cruise... the kids were swabbing the deck... It was unbelievable watching them work so hard at cleaning up! View

Tied to the Mast! The kids were tied to the mast by the not-so-nasty pirates and drenched with ice cold water! Here's Michael looking surprisingly compliant! View     A very clean boy! Michael swabbing happily! View     Girls just wanna have fun ! The girls got a turn! Adrienne was very lucky to have one of her school/neighborhood buddies in Grand Cayman when we got there! They got to be tied together! View     Aye mate! I take the wench with the fire in 'er eye! Michael is such a charmer! Even the pirate wench loved him! View     Sword fighting with the pirate! The kids all got a turn fencing with the pirate onboard the Jolly Roger. Here's Michael strutting his stuff! View     A restful hammock ! It was so relaxing in the hammock! Early morning coffee and tea by the water was fabulous. The sun rises very early there. At about 5:30am it was light out. Since no one else was usually up, I got to have some nice quiet time early morning. View     Dining out at Pappagallo! We really loved the restaurant Pappagallo. It's by a small lake/marsh slightly inland. It was incredible. They had lots of cool parrots that kept the kids company while Jim and I enjoyed some wonderful conversation and wine. Dinner was so fabulous, we went back again after we found a babysitter! View
