After our fun, white Christmas, we hopped on a plane and headed to Jamaica! We found a last minute deal and decided a couple weeks before Christmas to go on a trip. It is my last big chunk of vacation time, and the last chance to go on a just us vacation before the baby, so we went for it. We flew in to Montego Bay, Jamaica and took a short shuttle ride to Sandals Montego Bay. The day we got there it was overcast and rainy, and we were very sad. We got checked in and ate some food and checked out the resort and had a nice dinner that night. The next morning we woke up to a beautiful, bright, sunny day and the rest of the trip the weather was perfect! We had a great time. We had been to Couples Swept Away in Negril for our honeymoon and it was fantastic. Sandals Montego Bay was nice and we had a great time, but it wasn't as nice as Couples, so if you're heading to Jamaica check out Couples Swept Away first. The nice part is that it was very close to the airport so we made the most of the time we had and didn't spend any time getting there. The food was good. They had about 5 different restaurants that you could choose from for dinner. We liked the Stewfish restaurant. It was a small open air pavillion with a thatch roof right on the the water. We had a great dinner and enjoyed being at our picnic table right on the beach for the sunset:
During the day, we relaxed and enjoyed the warm weather.
We really liked the beds by the pool! We had fun getting dressed up and trying all the different dinner spots.
We got upgraded to a room with a patio. It was nice. It was right on the lawn that you walked across to get to a pool with a swim up bar and the beach. It was nice!
On New Year's Eve they had a big buffet outside with crab claws, grilled lobster, ham, prime rib, and lots of yummy desserts. It was really good. They had live music and a big countdown to New Year's. We had fun, but had a hard time staying awake. I think I'm officially getting old. I had a lot of different smoothies and mocktails, but its not quite the same as a real cocktail!
Grilled lobster!
Desserts!!
And our cheesy Sandals New Years picture that we just had to buy because Brian's face is so funny. That's his ohmygosh we're having a baby in 2011 face.
It was a perfect way to spend the New Year, and to get a tan in the middle of some seriously cold weather. Now back to reality....
