Our Summer Vacation

A couple of months ago my sweet husband surprised me with an amazing 5 night Bahamas cruise vacation. Normally our vacations include flying to remote destinations, so this was our first cruise together. We were both excited and ready to experience the ocean together. The first day at sea I was a little sea sick which kinda scared me because I did not want our entire vacation to be ruined. Thankfully by day 2 I was good to go and ready to experience our vacation as cruisers.   
My husband got us an ocean view suite which was amazing. Sometimes we would just sit and look out at the ocean and marvel at God's creation...it was calming and extremely peaceful.  Other times we would be out meeting guests or lounging by the pool. The staff (Carmelo and Mohammad) were fabulous. Of course, it was their jobs to caterer to us but nevertheless we relished it all. Nassau, Bahamas was one of our ports and I have to say that so far this is probably my favorite vacation spot...that is until we go to Mexico next summer :-)  We really enjoyed everything, the locals were nice and extremely helpful. Dione a local got us an amazing rate to go snorkeling, $50 less than what the cruise ship was offering, so we were amped. However, this was my first time snorkeling and I was a little nervous but my hubby being the protector that he is calmed me and assured me that this would be an amazing adventure...which it was. The coral reefs were unbelievable BEAUTIFUL. I was disappointed that we didn't have a disposable water proof camera to take pictures underwater but definitely next time we will have one. After our snorkel excursion we explored the island and went to the market and did some shopping for souvenirs. We brought this amazing sculptor of two lovers intertwined, the perfect way to end an amazing day.  Anyway, please check out some pictures from our vacay.


Until next time...
