Family vacation with 13 year old

 

Last summer I too my daughter on our family vacation to Jamaica. I was worried that she would not enjoy herself as the only teenager.

 

You know what they  are like!

Below is a list of activities she enjoyed

 

Wata-Land

Mystic Moutain

You’ve all seen the Disney Movie Cool Runnings,The famousJamaica  bobsled team. Here in Jamaica there is no Ice, instead you are hurdled dow a  3,280 foot track through the rainforest settings.

There is also Sky Explore, a chair lift through the forest, the Canopy ziplines with a  33 foot vertical decent and there is more check out the 252 foot Mystic waterslide and infinity pool.

 

Margarittaville

Water slide, pools, beach, people and music

Blue Hole

I must confess I was feeling my adventurous side and I did the jump. Ops from the small cliff. Now my daughters  13 and 27 at the time both jump small and large cliff. That what it mean to be young.

Next time, I will summon up enough courage to do the big jump, you’ll see

Day trip we visit the Blue Lagoon

You noticed how I started the article off all about my daughter, but this is something I have always wanted to do, Visit the Blue Lagoon.

So we got up early packed our bags and off  passing through Annotto Bay, Buff Bay and yes Port Antonio and now its time to find the blue lagoon.

 

Day trip to Rick’s Cafee

 

Of course I did not let her do the Jump, she enjoyed every moment from catamaran cruise arrival, watching other jumping, drinking her  margarita ( Virgin of course) to the beautiful sunset.

Beaches and More Beaches

Glass Bottom Boat

Cruising the coastline of Ocho Rios, seeing beautiful sceneries, houses, boats  and  water ….. as they past by.

Our captain catching a fish, his dinner for the night.

Enjoying the magnificent underwater views, the corals, the valleys, the wrecks, fishes, we say it all.  This was a memorable experience for me. I am sure to do it again on my next visit this summer.

This trip was so relaxing she even lay down for a nap.
