THE NINE’S DO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS

We’re Baaaack! Mr. Nine had to bring me back to Indiana in protest of leaving paradise but it’s back to reality. We literally have been back just a few hours as this post goes live but since I took my first ever entire week off from blogging, I thought I’d get this out there for you first thing Monday morning! 

Some of you may recall me linking up these 2 dresses an entire year ago with photos from the TJ Maxx dressing room giving hubs the hint that I think we needed to book a trip back to the Caymans and it worked! I even got to wear both of them! 

What an amazing week it was! You may remember, four years ago we took the entire family to the Cayman Islands but this time, just decided to go the two of us because the boys are old enough now to get their own fabulous trips in! It was our turn and wow did we ever pick the perfect resort on the perfect island! The Kimpton Seafire Resort is everything you picture a tropical five-star resort being. From the moment you walk in the door and are handed sparkling wine to every face that greets you by name, we were catered to so sweetly. I cannot sing their praises enough! If you want to treat yourself to an amazing vacation, this is the place to stay! And it’s a very quiet resort, no crazy activities, just nice and laid back, great for families and couples alike! 

Beautiful rooms

The goodness awaiting our arrival

Our View

I’m going to let most of the pictures to the talking and a big thank you to those of you who followed along on Insta stories, it was fun to document some of our awesome adventures and basically just total relaxation and chill time!

THE BEST Concoctions!

Great Iguana Story I'll share Friday

 We even met a couple at dinner at Casanova by the Sea that live on Grand Cayman and said there is no better place in the entire Caribbean and they’ve been to them all!

 Speaking of Casanova By The Sea, it’s my favorite restaurant there! Authentic Italian and the sweetest Italian owners and waiters. Where they put your dinner napkin on your lap for you and the view of the sea and the sunset cannot be beat! I even spilled my Moscato on Mr. Nine and he didn’t even get mad, LOL!

The BEST Italian EVER outside of Italy

A couple of the major highlights to note, was the Wednesday night Pintxo’s and Paella night at Avecita. The most amazing and unique small plates, champagne, sangria and sweet desserts! 

The Sunset Cruise on a catamaran was a blast. So beautiful, yummy pineapple and rum drinks and lively music made for a great time. We even had a full moon to boot!

 Every single meal was alfresco and In the tropical breezes. Our favorite restaurant was Coccoloba where we ate soooo many tiny tacos and chips and salsa. Breakfast was always at the same place but the food was top notch every.single.morning! We never had a bad meal. And so many healthy options, I had fruit everyday. 

The two little Taco favs....Fish and the Steak

 I’ll save a couple interesting travel stories for later in the week. And lots more pics in the week's to come (including deets on all the swimsuits I wore). Sweet Mr. Nine took soooo many outfits pics or me! AND The good news is, even though we are back to the daily grind, our pool is getting opened today, trips to the greenhouses are in order and the weather looks like it might finally be Spring here to stay! 

Have a Marvelous Monday!
