Grand Cayman

My husband Nic works for the company Adobe and they have the awesome policy of having a total office shut down the week of the Fourth of July for a summer break. That meant the hubs got a break from the office AND we were free to take a vacay with some friends.

When we arrived in Grand Cayman I got that great feeling I get when I'm in a tropical location. The smell, the moist air, the slight breeze...its intoxicating. We took a taxi to the Ritz-Carlton where we stayed that night. We decided to fly in a day before the rest of the group arrived so we had a bit of alone time. It was like a second honeymoon! The resort was right on Seven Mile beach which is truly beautiful...but very crowded.

We loved the Ritz. The service was great and the food was amazing, as usual! We enjoyed a romantic dinner on the beach that night. It was definitely a highlight of the trip for me.

The next day we met up with our friends and headed to the other side of the island called Rum Point. We stayed at an awesome home there with a private beach. It was heaven. We spent most of our days at the pool or on the beach.

Big thanks to Glade for inviting us and organizing the trip! We had so much fun and are so thankful that you thought to invite boring married people like us :)

If you go to Grand Cayman you have to go to Sting Ray City. It is so much fun. Tons of sting rays just swim around you. They are so friendly and let you pet them and even hold them if you're brave enough. That was for sure the highlight of the trip for me; but since we didn't want to ruin our camera I don't have many pictures.
