Bahamas and Manny's 30th b-day

I planned a surprise trip for Manny and I to go on a cruise to the Bahamas. I didn't keep the surprise all that long. My mom kept the kids and we were off. We left early Friday morning and flew out of JFK. When we landed in Miami we got a cab to go to the port. Our cab driver was rude and obnoxious and yelled at us because we didn't know which terminal we were going to at the port (after talking to others no one knew which terminal, they just looked for the Royal Caribbean boat like we did). The boat was huge and beautiful. There were many things to do on board and tons when we docked at ports.

The first full day was spent at CoCo Cay, the cruise line's private beach. There was not much on the island besides the activities and buildings that were there for us to use (which was alot).

Here we are on the ferry boat to the island

Us in the lounge on the 14th floor over looking everything (the ship decks below, the ocean, the island)
On Sunday we docked in Nassau Bahamas and we took a tour of the island with a local taxi driver. He was so informative and showed us so much. Here I am in front of the fort on the island (there was a little flea market set up near by of the locals that we shopped at)
He took us to Atlantis Hotel....OMG!!!

Us in the Chorus Line Theater ready to see the juggling comedian our last night

Awesome trip, we really enjoyed being together. It was nice to stay up late with other adults and not have to get up and feed the baby or get up at 6 am each day. We really missed the boys though and were glad to get home. Four days was long enough!!!!!
