Last Day!! We had a Bahama blast!!!

Our little family has just returned from the Bahamas and let me tell you that I wish we could still be there!!!! We joined our dear friends Brian and Jocee who were already there and then Mike and Ashley(who we never get to see since they live in Chicago so it was great to see them) flew in the same night we as well. The whole day was about a 5 hour trip from Nashville to Miami and then from Miami to the Bahamas. Grant did great and slept most of the way and it was actually pretty easy traveling with a little one since so many offered to help. From start to finish we had a blast!!! The first night Jocee cooked some yummy fresh fish tacos and we all just had great conversation and friend time since we were pretty tired from the travel day. The next day we were all sleepyheads so we enjoyed a restful morning with breakfast on the patio in our pjs overlooking the most beautiful beach view! Before we hit the pool and beach for the day we decided to expereince the native straw market and grab some fresh daquiris and I mean fresh, they literally rolled the coconuts up to the hut as they made our FRESH beverage!! I enjoyed a kiwi/banana/coconut daquiri and Matthew had a strawberry coconut, they were both refreshing and FANTASTIC! The rest of the afternoon we hit the beach and poolside for a little R&R. We so enjoyed watching Grant expereince a little sun, sand, and surf for the first time...he loved it!!Dinner that evening was so fun, we sat outside with our sweet friends and overlooked the most picture perfect view while chowing down on fresh conch fritters and enjoying great conversation. The following day was kinda hilarious and we all really laughed about how we felt like the entire day was in fast forward motion (you kinda had to be there but it was really funny)!! The day started with the idea to visit a private island for the afternoon. We had the boat captain reserved and we were packed to go on our little exersion but there was one problem...the sea swells were 5-6ft high! Soooo needless to say that made all of us quickly think of plan B for the day. We found ourselves eating lunch instead in the downtown Bahamian market, going to the beach on Paradise island, relaxing at a beautiful boat dock for a bit, walking the grounds of the Ocean Club ( which was breathtaking), and strolling through Atlantis admiring all the large boats or should I say yachts parked to enjoy the afternoon as well. We ended up packing alot in that day and had so much fun even though our plan A had been changed. The evening was special as we dined at a great place called Cafe Matisse. We toasted to good times and great friends while overlooking a beautiful little courtyard all lit by twinkle lights. The next day we vegged at the pool and beachside and just enjoyed Grant and our sweet friends. Dinner that evening was I think my favorite! We went to the Beach club and both the view and meal was supurb!! I could go on and on about our trip but those are some highlights and I will leave you with several pictures!! If anyone is planning a summer vacation I highly recommend the Bahamas, it was a little slice of heaven on earth!!
