Bon Voyage

We are back from a nice relaxing cruise to the Bahamas.  Well let's just say Freeport and Nassau were relaxing.  Our 2 days at sea were quite rough.  There were very few moments that we could not feel the boat moving.  Good news is...if I made it through that weather, I think I can take on any other cruise. 

We enjoyed our nightly dinners together.  Highlights of the menu:  Dave's strawberry soup aka strawberry yogurt and Tony and Phillip's chocolate melting cake ordered 5 nights in a row.  Oh and the surprise of "Pillip's" birthday.  Our waiter did the best he could to pronounce Phillip's name.  






 Beach time in Freeport



Highlight of the trip was definitely Atlantis.  The water park was AMAZING.  Chris and Phillip were like little kids panicking that they would not experience every slide in the limited amount of time we had there.  Our day started out with a celebrity sighting.


Yes, that is Tony from Dancing with the Stars.  Chris was embarrassed to admit that he did know who he was.

I was very proud of myself for going down the Leap of Faith slide.  This picture does not even do it justice for how vertical the slide was.  I was sort of scared I would lose my bathing suit going down, but it was worth the risk.  You plunge into a tank full of sharks.  Well not exactly, you are separated in a clear tunnel.


Atlantis is a place we plan on going back to and just staying for a few days.  There are so many things we didn't get to experience because we only had a few hours.  Phillip's goal of the day was to make it into the bridge part of Atlantis at the top.  He was told you basically have to be a high roller to get up there.  He couldn't understand why our blue wristband from the Carnival Fantasy ship was not enough.  Don't they know who we are?!
