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!!!
When we drove into Blue Ridge Saturday afternoon to check the restaurant situation, never did I dream that the shopping would be so wonderful! I took note of all the places I wanted to check out when we came back ‘to town’ on Monday and today I’m sharing some of those favorites with you! Disclaimer:…
Since this is part 1 of a 3-part series, I have to take y’all back in time just a wee bit. About a month ago {give or take a week or two}, Andrew let me know that as part of his wine class, he was going to have to go to a vineyard in NC…
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…
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…
Since this original post was so overloaded with pics {your welcome!!!}, I’ve split it up into to parts, or day 1 and day 2! Here’s day 1: 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…
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…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
