Ahhh...The Bahamas!



Chad and I were lucky enough to go to the the Bahamas last weekend. It was amazing!!! We stayed at the Atlantis on Paradise Island. It was so much fun. All I have to say is that it was 80 degrees the entire time, much better then the teens we left and came back to in MO. While Chad was at his conference I could be found sitting by one of the many pools they had. I loved it! We got to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches when he was done. Chad saw the people out parasailing and wanted to go....I said I would go along for the boat ride. As you can tell from the picture I didn't just ride the boat. Once we got out there they convinced me to go up with Chad. I am so glad that I did it was amazing. I couldn't believe how peaceful and quiet it was up there. We were able to see across the entire Island of New Providence, it was so cool! We also went into town and went to what is called the "Straw Market" it is crazy in there! The have rows and rows of souveniers and purses..."Coach", "Prada", "Gucci" It was so fun to bargain with them. If you found something that you liked you would just have to find someone that would take the price you were willing to pay, I was able to get some great deals!! I love bargain shopping! Chad biggest disappointment of the whole trip was that there was no Dr Pepper on the entire Island!! He was relieved when we went to town and could find Mt Dew. The resort was so amazing huge aquariums all over the place with sharks, manta rays, and tons of fish! Ok now that I have rambled on I will stop, but I could go on forever about how fun it was. I would suggest going to anyone...wait till you have made your millions if you take kids, the food is very pricey!!
