The Bahamas!

That's right folks! Rob and I went to the Bahamas! Rob had a work thing and I somehow convinced him to let me tag along. Sunny got to stay with Cousin Paulie- Thanks P! We left early last Sunday and began our long journey to Nassau. 9 hours later (with the time change) we saw this out the airplane window:
Gorgeous from the air! (Rob was embarrassed that I took pictures on the plane.)We got off the plane in Nassau and rode a shuttle to Paradise Island. We stayed at a resort called Atlantis. http://www.atlantis.com/ Its probably the largest resort I've ever been to. I mean this place is downright HUGE. There are 6 different towers you can stay in. The resort pretty much takes up the entire island. We stayed in The Reef tower. We walked in and the lobby was really pretty. We got our room keys and took the elevator up, walked down the hallway to the room on the end. We stepped into our room and this was the view from our balcony:



OMG! It was so beautiful! The great part was we had a wrap around balcony that gave us a view of the entire resort- the beach, the Royal Towers, The Dolphin Cay, and the Lazy River. The Dolphin Cay is where you can pay to swim with Dolphins, so everyday we got to watch them frolic in the water.

After settling in we had an awesome dinner at Nobu. It was absolutely delicious. The black cod with miso glaze melted in my mouth. Mmmmm. Rob actually had a little cold Saki. That was enough alcohol to get him to take a picture with me in this chair after dinner:


Don't we look cute? We stopped and had a drink on our walk back to our room. Its a big resort and we got thirsty on the long journey back! We had 2 drinks- a martini and a rum and coke. With gratuity, our bill was $25. Atlantis is beautiful, but it is equally expensive!!!

I'll post more tomorrow about our Bahamian Adventure! Stay tuned!
