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 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…
We made the long {llllooooonnnnggggg} treck down from Columbia, SC to Amelia Island, FL today. It really wasn’t so bad – it took us about 5 hours to get here. But literally about 100 yds. from our destination Reynolds AND Eliza Jane lost their minds. Crying/Screaming blew up our car in one unanimous, awful…
Y’all, I totally didn’t expect there to be a week between posts and I’m really sorry! The first post, if you want a re-cap, was of Epcot and Universal Studios. Here’s the next post on Days three {Wednesday} and four {Thursday} of our trip to Disney. Day three was Daddy’s visit to Gatorland {nothankyou} but I…
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…
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…
Happy Tuesday, Friends! I can’t believe it’s been almost two months since we first discovered Old McCaskill’s Farm! This past Sunday was their annual “Farm Day” and we had a great time! We planned to leave directly after church was over – changing in the car on the way there {that’s always fun…} and got…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
