Bahamavention Wrap-Up

We're home. We had such a great time in the Bahamas ... Jed really outdid himself and planned a great vacation. We are so glad Hill and Kell could make it ... they only added to the already great company.

Here is the rest of our trip in a nutshell:

We SNUBA'd in the ocean. Think snorkeling, but attached to an air tank that lets you go down about 20 feet. All but one of us really liked it (the same one who played soccer with me growing up and her contribution to the team was eating the orange slices on the sideline ... love ya Hill!). We could have used some further instruction and the SNUBA instructor kinda disconnected my husband's air supply while he was on the ocean floor, but besides that, we had a really great time (oh, and Jed's fine).


Hill and I got asked a dozen times if we were twins ... that hasn't happened in a long time, so it was kinda fun. But we weren't the only ones who got asked if we were related. Since Jed and Kelly are sporting the same "short hair cut," a few people questioned if they were twins, too.

Maybe the best thing about The Atlantis is that it comes equipped with a fully-stocked water park. There are really fun rides, some with tubes, some without, some bendy, some steep. But by far the favorite "ride" of the group was something called "The Lazy River." Just the sound of it makes you wanna go, doesn't it? Sittin' on a tube, winding around the resort, the occasional rapid, a section of waves, and best of all, a conveyor belt that takes you right up to a few of the slides. It was the laziest/best invention EVER! We all had a hard time ripping ourselves away from it. This picture is the only thing that we have left of The Lazy River, other than the memories we'll hold dear forever ...



I guess the only negative about a water-vacation is a lack of pictures. Jed took a few around the resort the morning we left, but even they don't do it justice (sorry babe). Here's a bit of a pictorial tour though ...

Our dwellings for the week (if that doesn't make you want to pack up and head out, nothing will!) ...



A little place called "The Cove" ...



Decor inside the casino (relax, no gambling took place--except with our lives at SNUBA) ...


The resort landscape ...


The ocean ...


One of many pools ...


The "river" running through the resort ...


The Royal Towers ...


The Royal Towers fountain ...


Anyway, the point is, you absolutely should, have, need, MUST go to the Bahamas!!!
