That’s what you hear when you start your tour of Sandals Emerald Bay on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas…”Welcome to Paradise.”
From my post last night, it took us going around our elbows and back again to get there, but it was majestic when we arrived. The sun was shining brightly, it was hot {and humid like the South}, but it was glorious.
They seriously have some of the most beautiful Bougainvillea I’ve ever seen. And it grows immensely!This is where we ate dinner the first night. Tidbits: Wear the OFF! provided in the room or else you’ll be eaten up by sand fleas….and, eat after the sun goes down…the flies like the food!
Sunrise the first morning. I woke up around 6:30 🙂 It was still 84 degrees out…
I almost forgot this one! It’s a collage photo from our night at the “French” restaurant…the food was AMAZING!!!
This is approximately where I got stuck on Monday on a paddle board…. We’d come way out {farther than we probably should have} and about the time we were ready to go back to shore, the winds/waves had shifted and I pretty much got pushed up against this cliff. It was awesome. Even more great was that apparently a shark {nurse} had been hanging out in this area. Thankfully {!!!} we didn’t see it, and we didn’t know it until a couple of days later. #holyheckhahahaha 😀
I don’t know what this is, but I would like one….the flowering vine. It is absolutely beautiful!
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!

I am just amazed at how fast this month went by! But thankful for all the memories we made this month! Here are a few of the things I/we did. Reading – I read through most the SRT study on Proverbs: The way of Wisdom, which was really fantastic. This study was more of some brief…
Still playing catch-up for the Blogtember Challenge! Friday’s post-prompt was: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? Why? This one was easy for me. There’s one place I have just been craving to visit and hope to in 2020… Italy. More specifically, the countryside. The vineyards. The places less traveled….
Today is day three of vacation at Disney. We are taking it slow today while Daddy ziplines over some gators {I practically begged him not to do it, but left him to his own decision-making, however dangerous that can be at times…}. He tagged me in this Facebook photo as I pushed two zonked-out babies…
This has always been one of my favorite posts to write because it gives me the opportunity to go back and see all the things we have done in just a month! I often find myself thinking, “WOW! That seems like so long ago, and yet, it was just…two weeks ago.” ha. Okay so here…
Hello friend! If you haven’t read Part 1 of Our Ark Encounter, you may read it here. That post will give you all the insights to the actual Ark. This post is to show you the other things available at Ark Encounter. As my friend Ann asked me the other day, “Is there really that…
