Guess, where I was at last week..2 guesses? Allen and I set sail to the Bahamas! We went on a 4-night cruise and it was spectacular! I want to be back there right now!!!!
I dream of going back to swim in that blue water. You can literally see straight down to the bottom. It is beautiful!
It was a very relaxing week for us. We celebrated our 5th anniversary of dating, 5th dating anniversary, 5th anniversary, however you wanna’ say it. I just say HAPPY 5 YEARS TO US, then we said Bon Voyage to real life for a few days. It was great! Relaxing, not having to be anywhere at a certain time, well kinda I mean you had to be at breakfast by 10:30am, and dinner was at 8:30 (but if not there was 24 hour room service…fo’ free), and of course we had to be back on the boat by 11:30m on our last night in the Bahamas or that boat was leavin’ without us. Some college kids (what am I saying? I am a college kid!) got left…for real, the boat sailed right on outta the port without them….I believe they were still at Senor Frogs partying it up.
It was just a nice change from the everyday grind.
We loved every minute of it, even the day we spent all day sailing back. Which is when the above picture was snapped. (I put this on FB and Allen told be to take it of because of the nip slip….umm don’t nipples show when guys have their shirts off? I mean it’s only natural…modest millie he is)
So…..this is my future yacht, Isn’t it beautiful!? This was one of many big rigs docked at the Atlantis marina, it just makes you wonder-what do all of these people do to have all of this money. One yacht was complete with a helicopter and landing pad. Yea, I think I ‘ll just cruise to Hawaii on my yacht and then hop in the chopper for a little whale watching. Or maybe a guy with a paranoid wife wanted a yacht and the only way she would let him buy it is if he also bought a heli incase he ever gets stranded in the middle of the ocean. She probably watched Titanic one too many times and was like “heck with the life boats those don’t work!” Oh yea, this boat also had its own rug….yes a rug right on the dock at the marina…Mary Jean II.
A trip to le Bahamas is not complete without visiting Atlantis. See that thing that looks like a bridge connecting the two towers? Well that’s a room. A 10 bedroom suite to be exact. Michael Jackson owned it at one time. Oprah has stayed there, Bill Clinton, many many other big names. Oh yea, it was $25,000/night, four night minimum. Get on the waiting list, its booked for the next 5 years. No joke. That is $ 45,625,000 that the Atlantis will be depositing into their bank account from 1 room….a room that happens to be bigger than my entire house. That’s depressing.
There’s a bit of a better view.
Moving on….
Here is yours truly (looking a hot mess) navigating the ferry boat right on over to paradise island…yes there were other passengers on this boat. I’m sure there were all getting ready to bail, including Allen.
The window on the ferry was a heart…Allen sweetly pointed that out and told me to take a picture. He’s sweet. The Love Boat, wasn’t that an old t.v. show?
This just so happens to be on Paradise island…how fitting.
Prince Harry left the Bahamas on his Caribbean tour the day before we arrived. The Bahamas is a British Commonwealth, and they were celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. I want to participate in a jubilee.
Nicholas Cage has a house in the Bahamas, and we spied via Ferry. Tourists.
You can kind of see it through the trees.
We enjoyed Bahama Mama's, great weather, Senor Frogs, Sharkees Tiki Bar, The Straw Market, the ferry boat rides, Atlantis, and just being in The Bahamas.
And some more beautiful scenery….
I couldn’t help myself.
love,
