We had a great time with our Moms here. Here are some pictures and the story to go along with them.
The long weekend started on Halloween with a celebration of Frank’s Birthday. Debbie made her traditional carrot cake with yummy cream cheese frosting. Here it is decorated for the holiday and Debbie with Frank before he blew out his candles.
On Thursday while Frank was working, I took the Mom’s to lunch at Eats Cafe and then to the beach at the Westin. Here are some pictures of the Moms relaxing by the pool. We had a few frozen, tropical drinks and then headed down to the ocean.
The Mom’s enjoyed the tropical setting and warm sun. The breezes were perfect off of the water to keep us cool in the sunshine. The palm trees were a nice break from the dying leaves back in Michigan.
Here is a little friend that followed by Mom around the pool.
Friday night we took the Moms to one of our favorite restaurants - Copper Falls.
We took a drive out to the East End on Saturday. On the way out, we stopped at the blow holes. Here are some pictures of us as the water spewed through the rocks.
My Mom found yet another little friend along the way.
Later on, we headed out to the far, far east end. Here are some pictures of the island out that way. Our Moms really liked the flowers and greenery out there.
It’s like the tropical countryside when you get out that far.
We stopped to enjoy one of the beaches on the way back. The Moms found conch shells in the sand, while Frank and I took a walk.
The last night the Moms were here, we took them to dinner at one of our favorite little hole-in-the-wall type places. The restaurant sits on a deck that is literally on the beach. While we were waiting for the yummy seafood pasta dishes to arrive, we watched the most beautiful sunset Frank and I have ever seen in Cayman.
Dropping the Moms off at the airport was hard to do, but it helps knowing that we’re coming home in just over a month for Christmas! Can’t wait!
What beautiful scenery! Looks like you had a nice visit with family. I like the picture of you and Frank walking on the beach.

Beautiful pix! We’re going to the Bahamas next week. I hope it’s as nice. I’m worried about the weather. I figure there has to be a reason we got our tickets so cheap. Hurricane season?

As much as I want the cool air to move in, I could so come live with you for a couple weeks. Beautiful scenery, and it looks like the Moms had a great time!!

It sounds like your moms had a wonderful visit and got to see a lot of the Cayman Islands. The pictures are beautiful.
