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!!!
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…
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….
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…
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…
Oh my. Y’all must think we are crazy. Its Andrew, not me. Any crazy fun idea usually comes from him. {insert laughing/crying face emoji} Just a week before Reynolds’ Spring Break, Andrew says to me at 8:30pm…something like this:“So I was thinking about this Spring Break thing, and what if we did a road trip?…
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…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
