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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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?…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
