Bahamas









Ryan and I just got back from the most amazing trip. We went to Miami for a few days and went to a Braves vs. Marlins game and went to the beach. Then we left on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was perfect weather. The food was amazing. We spent one day at Grand Turk Island where we rented the most ghetto scooter and rode around the entire island in 2 hours. It was the poorest island, with animals roaming the streets and people with no shoes. Ryan was so burnt just from the first day on the cruise, that he laid out with a towel over his entire body and his shirt over his head. It was hilarious. Then spent the rest of the day on the beach. The ocean was warm and so clear. I decided I love the Atlantic Ocean way more than the Pacific. The next day was spent at Carnival's private island, Half Moon Cay. It is only 2% developed. We did a bike n' hike through the lush green undeveloped hills. It was gorgeous. That beach was the best beach ever. The water was so clear and the sand was white and so soft. It was amazing. The next day was spent at Nassau, which is a large island with many shops and restaurants. We went snorkeling and had a tour of a lot of celebrity's vacation homes. We saw Micheal Jordan, Olsen twins, Barry Bonds, Tiger Woods, (Oprah has 2 homes, one for her and one for her guests.) Then we went shopping through the street market, where I felt like Jasmin on Aladdin. Everyone was saying, "Hey pretty lady, this necklace would look great on you. Hey pretty girl, you want to look at this bag." This trip was very relaxing and great to spend time with my hubby, but I couldn't stop thinking about Jaxon the ENTIRE time. I love the Bahamas.
