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!!!
Yesterday was probably THE craziest travel day I have EVER experienced…ever. Who knew flying from Columbia, SC to Kansas City, MO would be such a crazy adventure?! It’s so unreal…even now, looking back. My adventure began in Columbia just before 10am. We got to the airport…Andrew, the kids and me. He wanted to bring the kids in…
Have you ever planned lunch with a friend and then said to her, “Where do you want to go for lunch?” and then you carried a 10-15 minute conversation about the fact that neither of you REALLY cared about what KIND of food you ate, but no one would decide on WHERE to go? Well, that…
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…
Day 2 of our trip to the Big Apple for Christmas this year! The entire post, in one really long post, can be found here. Or, if you want to revisit Part 1 or Day 1, click here. Who can go to NYC and not try to get on The Today Show? Not us! Al…
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…
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…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
