Bahamas Cruise 2024

Last year, Blu and I started talking about how we should take a trip together once we have the flip house on the market and I am done with graduate school and obtain my LPC-A license.  We picked a random week in April and found a cruise in the Bahamas that flew out of Miami and wouldn't cause Blu to have to miss any Sundays of church.  It turns out, those dates weren't quite so random, as my licensure went into effect on the EXACT day the cruise started!  It was great to get away together after a couple of years of stress! 

Blu on every cruise (or every vacation, trip, etc...)

We found the library on the cruise ship and played a game of Scrabble every day!

Blu tried the water slide.  Once.

He loved the Flowrider but was super bummed he never got the hang of standing up!


In line with the young 'suns!

On the deck ready to go!

In the uber on the way to the port!

Waiting for my first Uber ride ever....

At the end of a long day of driving to DFW, flying, and waiting for the hotel shuttle..

I loved this view of one of DFW's mixmasters!

On the plane to Miami!

On yet another airport shuttle...

Driving to DFW!

Ready for supper on night 1!

The Irish pub

Look at this handsome guy!

We didn't mean to eat at the shadiest place in Miami...yet somehow, we did!

Awww...

Liquor store + pub at 10pm on the streets of downtown Miami...and we walked from our hotel....

Waiting to head out of Miami!

A yummy Cozumel sunrise!

It was windy!

Love this pic - I was sunburned already!


We were supposed to go to Haiti, but they switched it to Bimini!


Speaking of Bimini - it was awesome!!!

The waves were huge and there weren't many people!

It's hard to get in a picture how blue the water is!

Ready for a day in the waves!

Who needs sunscreen with this cute hat?!

Night 2 on our balcony

Letsssss gooooo!

One of my fave pics - we loved this walk along the rocky beach!

Love this pic and pose!

We're here - just had to find a taxi to hop on!

What a man!


So handsome - love this pic!


We googled and it said in Bimini to get on a taxi to Radio Beach where there would be way less people - they were right!

Here we are in Nassau on Pearl Island! 

The water was SO CLEAR.

On the ferry from Nassau to Pearl Island

Night 3 dinner!

I loved the painted houses in Nassau!

We decided to get out of town and take a 15 minute ferry ride to Pearl Island!

So. Sunburned.

This was one of the best drinks I have ever had - just a virgin strawberry daiquiri but it was DELICIOUS!!!

:)


This goofy guy always made the photographers laugh!

Pearl Island - hunting for shade!

Downtown Miami from the plane

That "vacation tired"

Last night - on the balcony waiting for my hot supper date to come back :)

This wasn't our ship, but it IS the biggest ship in the world - the Icon of the Seas!

Last night photo ops!




Of course my husband would get called to the stage for the farewell show on the last night!

We won 2nd place in the Search for the Nations scavenger hunt!



We had a BLAST!  We would do it all again in a heartbeat!  But it's back to work (and graduating a daughter!) for us!
