Our Cruise November 7th to 11th

I can hardly believe that I can say I have gone on another cruise, but I am so grateful to be able to say that!  Nathan and I have been working so hard with our other business that we had hardly seen much of one another.  In fact, the flight over to Miami, or rather the 3 flights, were really fun and nice just because we got to be with each other!  We first stayed in South Beach at the Miami Beach Spa and Resort.  It did not disappoint!  What a great time at the beach and eating at the nice restaurant and touring South Beach shops with friends and hubby!  Then it was off to the Cruise ship and we headed out to sea to Freeport Bahamas.  Our first stop was also so amazing!  We went to the Wyndham Resort with Brooke and Dallas and took a Limo ride there and back to the port.  We were so happy to find that they had a Trapeze to try out.  Well, at first we were nervous, but it really was fun!  And the food at the Resort was so great!  My favorite was the rum nut ice cream... oh wow!  We took our time out on the sea Kayaks and then we danced at the jammin pool party and drank some fruity drinks (non alcoholic, although I shouldn't admit that if anyone sees me dancing in my swimsuit by the pool!)  Ok, so there wasn't a party, but we made it one I tell you what.  We all thought the day was FABULOUS!
The next stop was at the Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas.  I need to get the pictures off Nathan's phone of this, but the sharks and aquariums were super cool and the rides were pretty exciting!  My favorite was the "lazy river" that had a lot of fun rapids and a sweet ride at the end of it!  This day was really so fun too because all of us who went on the cruise (12 other people we know) all went with us to this "excursion".  We felt like little kids again, but even more so the next day when we went to Great Stirrup Cay. We snorkeled and ate lunch on the island, then we played "king of the huge blow up raft thing".  After we all fell off, again, 10 or 12 of us, the guys started to see how long they could stand on top alone before they fell of from the rough waves.  I think they made it about 4 seconds or so maybe. 
The times on the boat were also epic.  We seemed to really get into all the game, magic, and dance shows that they had.  Watching Dallas's Dad was pretty darn funny! 
Its hard to record so much of a whole week away, but it was needed, wonderful, and I am so grateful we got to go!!
