Turks and Caicos

We enjoyed (ok it freakin' rocked!) 8 days in Turks and Caicos. It was so nice to spend some time with just the two of us. We Scuba dove (at least once a day), snorkeled, we took a hobie cat out sailing (well Matt sailed, Aimee laid out on the sail boat) almost every night, kayaking, wind surfed, relaxed, ate pretty much all day long, and just enjoyed hanging out with each other.







It was December so we thought we should do our best to construct a snowman...this sandman was the closest we could get. The sand was amazing...like cookie dough.


Don't we just look like we belong down there. Scuba diving really is the most relaxing thing I can imagine doing.


Saw a billion Lion Fish.


Barracuda!! OK...you know the fish at killed Nemo's mom? Yeah we saw one up close (a little too close if you ask me, I'm no orthodontist but if I can tell that thing needs braces...it's TOO close!) This guy was HUGE!!

Mr. Ray!!


Crush! This Dude was awesome!


Eels are ugly!


Look close...part of that rock is actually a fish...A scorpion fish...Dangereous?...YES!!...Did me and Matt know that?...NO!!...Did both of us want to poke it so it would move?...We both wanted to but luckily we opted to just take pictures.


The weather was PERFECT!! It rained once...while we were getting ready for dinner, how awesome is that timing?!







Matt was a "shark stalker"...I strategically placed a warm body between me and a shark at all times.

Just some fish swimming around.



A squirrel Fish.


Lion fish.


Matt don't touch the ocean life! We could help but pet a turtle here and there.
