MUST NEEDED VACATION!

Today we got to head to Half Moon Cay! This island is leased by Carnival Cruise Line for their guests. I have to say... as much as Grand Turk was gorgeous... Half Moon Cay was everything and anything I have ever thought the Caribbean to be. It was - by far - the most magnificent place to be! What I loved about it so much was that it was extremely family-friendly... even with a mini-waterpark for kids. My sons thought they just about hit the jackpot! We spent 4 hours on the beach enjoying the sun, playing in the water, snorkling and relaxing!
