Jamaica

Nate and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary with a splurge trip to Jamaica! The goal was to relax as much as possible, and do as little as possible! I think we were pretty successful in both areas! We stayed at a BEAUTIFUL resort on the cliffs of Negril. The resort only has 12 rooms, so less than 30 guests at a time (assuming maximum capacity) could be staying at the resort! 

We stayed in the Sea Turtle Cottage! We had a gorgeous view from the balcony and window!

As the hotel was built right into the cliffs, there were a lot of fun cliff jumping opportunities as well as caves to snorkel in and explore! We spent most of our days relaxing in a different spot of the resort, snorkeling, floating on rafts and jumping in to the water to cool off!

A short walk down the road from the resort was the Negril Lighthouse, located on the western most point of Jamaica! For a small donation, the grounds keeper took us around and up to the top of the lighthouse! 

The following day we did our one and only excursion, a trip to Mayfield Falls! The drive in was very pretty, and the grounds to the falls upon arrival were very unassuming. To be honest, I didn't know what exactly I was in store for. We ended up having a blast, getting to walk through a series of small waterfalls on a private tour. Our guide, Lester, was amazing and took so many cool pictures and videos for us!

We also took advantage of the Spa, and enjoyed a couples massage. SO relaxing!

Being about as far west as possible in Jamaica, we got to experience some gorgeous sunsets! A highlight for both of us was sitting together in the little Gazebo watching the sun go down!

I'm gonna wrap this post up with some pictures we took while exploring the caves and some videos of some of our cliff jumps!

Nate was extremely daring and tried just about every designated jumping area at the resort! I did two jumps, and that was more than enough for me! :)

This jump was a little different, called the Blue Hole! You jump down into the cave! An adrenaline rush for sure!

We had an amazing 7 days away, but would by lying if we said we didn't miss the girls! Both sets of Grandparents held down the fort while we were gone. We couldn't be more thankful for them and everything they did while we were away!
