Bahama Mama






Derek and I went on a Royal Carribean cruise over the weekend!!!! We had a fantastic time. It was really hard to come back to cold homework filled Rexburg. We would have definately preferred to stay on Paradise Island with... white sand...clear blue water....warm carribean breezes...sigh.... We want to go back sometime soooooon!!!!

We went snorkling, we built sand castles, we napped on the beach, we body surfed, we got tan... :) Snorkling we saw sting rays, and all sorts of tropical fish including a baracuda!! I got stung by a jelly fish...twice... that hurt pretty good, but its all part of the experience! We walked around downtown Nassau, Bahamas to all the shops they had there....There were multiple activities going on on the ship. There were lots of shows and dancing and FOOOD. yeah, we gained weight. we were even picked out of a huge audience to be players in a Love and Marriage game show! that was fun, and for the rest of the time we had people coming up to us wanting to meet us... haha
This trip was the first time that Derek had ever seen the ocean! At one point Derek buried me in sand and then threw peanuts on me and a whole flock of seagulls came and landed on me and started to pack... haha it was our first experience riding in a car that had the steering wheel on the wrong side!

Here are some pictures of our Bahama adventure! They are out of order but I got the good ones up there.
