Our Bahama Cruise Vacation!!!
We dropped the kids off at Grandmommies and Papa's and we headed for Florida! We love cruises and we love vacations. So we went to the Bahamas on a 4 night NCL Cruise. It was awesome! The perfect cruise...3 days, 3 islands, lots of food, awesome entertainment. We love the Caribbean/Bahama area. The water is so beautiful...very clear and light blue. It is really breath taking. We had a great time and enjoyed being with just the two of us. It was a nice way to celebrate our 7th anniversary.
I enjoyed walking around the beaches...but Eric hated the heat. Eric liked driving the scooter around Nassau. It was kind of scary for me...those cab drivers there are crazy. He also enjoyed making an anchor for our floating island.
We visited Grand Bahama Island, Nassau, and Great Stirrup Cape (NCL private island). The private island was the best...BBQ lunch on the beach, free chairs to sit on at the beach, no cab rides to the beach and live music. It was a lot of fun. All except for those Sand Fleas who enjoyed eating me alive. I went home will bumps all over my body and boy did they itch! I had fun shopping at the markets...didn't get much. But it was fun.
In Nassau we got stuck in a 1 hr downpour of rain. The thunder and lightning was so loud...it scared me a few times! We had fun running through the streets in the rain. The water was up to our calf's. We were drenched in water, but it was fun. Then it stopped and it was blue sky again immediately. The weather in the Bahamas is crazy.
We loved our trip and enjoyed our week without the kids. We missed them..but it was nice to leave them with Grandmommy and Papa. They love being with them...so it was a great trade off. Most of our pictures are close up...we had to take them ourselves! Gotta love that technique! If you can get away...this cruise was the best. Not too long and no boring days on the ship (sea days)!
