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!!!
Saturday night, while we were at Amelia Island, my family took a “Family Friendly Sunset Cruise” down the St. Mary’s river basin with Amelia River Cruises. Complete with history narrative, we learned about the shrimping history of the island, saw Pippy Longstocking’s house, Villa Villekulla (!!!) {the movie was filmed here in the late 80’s}, and…
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…
There’s that old saying, and Vanessa Williams song, Save the Best for Last. And when I say that this trip truly saved the best for last, it did. I was seven the last time I was at Disney. I have very few memories that I can recall about Disney from that age…one being riding Space…
Hey Friends! I am SO happy to be able to share with y’all our fun adventure to The Big Apple…at Christmas time! It was a super fast trip for us, and I’m going to do my bestest at reliving it all for you, via jpeg! 🙂 First, I have to tell you that while Andrew…
I feel like the first question you ask your spouse when you’re planning a trip is: are we taking the kids or not? I mean, that’s really the biggest question. The whole planning of the entire trip depends on how that one, crucial question, is answered. Kids or no kids. Everything hinges on that. Funny…
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…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
