I can not even describe how GREAT our vacation was to the Bahamas this year. We were so lucky to be able to go and have Tony's parents come to our home to watch the kids while we were gone. There is no way we would have been able to go without them. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nana and Papa! (The kids loved having you here!)
Tony and I enjoyed a week in the Bahamas with our good friends Mandi and Josh Milius.
Of course we have tons of pictures to share, but I tried to narrow it down to the fun ones!
A night at Tino Beach for a bonfire...
At the bonfire, we enjoyed Bahamian food and live entertainment including a fire dance. The fire dancer singed Tony's leg hairs! It was so funny. Tony and I also won a dance/partner competition thingy where we won a bottle of Vodka. Needless to say, a sweet newlywed couple got a nice honeymoon gift from some strangers who don't drink!
Taking advantage of the pool area at Tino Beach. Their pool area included a water slide and a swim-up-to bar. Tony and Josh thought it would be funny to "play" at the bar. Hence the picture of them pretending to be trapped under the water. Really, I don't think we needed much more entertainment than Tony and Josh on this trip!
Some of the cool things we would find along the beach; a beautiful flower growing out of a rock, and these crazy white crabs that would run sideways along the beach.
And some of the "not so beautiful" things we would see along the beach!! Just kidding Tony! (check out the "wings" sticking out of Tony's goggles)
Bahama's National Park
There were really neat caves to explore and the beautiful beach to enjoy here.
Mandi and I enjoyed the calm, shallow waters while Tony and Josh swam out to the island for some snorkeling. We could literally sit about 30 yards into the water without being hit by waves. It was beautiful!
A day of snorkeling off a boat in the open waters. On the boat was a water slide and a rock climbing wall. That afternoon was a blast!
We drove out to Deadman's Reef to do some snorkeling. There we saw some sting ray, turtles, and some jelly fish. Believe it or not, we're pretty sure that Tony, Josh, and Mandi were all stung by jelly fish during our trip (not at Deadman's Reef).
Seriously, could we look any more like tourists! Check out the size of our tiny car! We were shocked that Josh could fit!
Our last night.... enjoying ourselves on a sunset dinner cruise. It was beautiful. Good food, great entertainment, and great friends to share it with. Thanks for joining us in the Bahamas Mandi and Josh! We had such a WONDERFUL time!!
