To celebrate the doctorate and our anniversary, we went on a cruise to
The Bahamas!
It was great fun and very relaxing.
 |
| The first day was unseasonably cold. The high was only 44 degrees. Even with the clouds, the terrain was beautiful. |
 |
| This day was much warmer--60's. It was a very pleasant boat ride around Nassau. |
 |
| Waiting on the pier for a boat to take us para-sailing. |
 |
| Soaring high! It was very peaceful up there. We could see all the way to the edge of the earth. ;-) The water was clear as glass, and it was amazing to be able to see so far down while sailing so far up! |
 |
| The sun setting on Nassau. |
The last day was spent snorkeling and sliding down a 40 foot water slide and getting sunburned. We are anxious to get the pictures back that were taken with the waterproof disposable camera.
 |
| The kids showing off their nifty gifties. |
 |
| My mom kindly agreed to fly out to stay with the children. |
 |
| And she brought my little brother and his wife, too. Good times! |
What we learned:
- Cruises are indeed fun!
- The food is indeed abundant and fattening.
- So, Tums and Gas-X or Beano should be consumed regularly.
- Anti-motion-sickness medicine should be taken before embarking.
