We left early Friday morning (July 23) for the Bahamas. We had to get up around 4:15 and head to the airport. We got to Nassau around 1:00 and jumped in a taxi to the Atlantis. We got checked into our room in the Coral Towers and then quickly went out to explore the hotel and play at the water park- Aquaventure.
This was the view from our balcony
Our room in the Coral Towers
On Friday night we walked across the bridge to Potters Cay- a place where more of the locals hang out and eat.
Saturday we took the ferry to the straw market and fish fry.
Then we went back to the Atlantis that afternoon and played on the slides and in the pools.
Sunday morning we went on a snorkeling trip. We went to two different spots. This was the first spot...
While we were at this spot, Art spotted a shark on the bottom of the ocean floor about 10 feet below us. He pointed it out to Chad who (foolishly) pointed it out to me and of course I FREAKED out. Chad went to grab my flailing body and in the course of grabbing me his wedding ring fell off. Of course, we were right above the shark. I shrugged it off, said "we'll get you a new one"... I mean if you lose something in the ocean you don't get it back, much less in the reef. Eric somehow spotted the ring in the reef and Chad was able to swim down and get it. The shark swam out to sea while the 5 of us were around the area trying to get the ring. scary.
They had a rapids river that was probably our favorite thing to do. We spent lots of time floating around.
It was a GREAT trip with our great family!

pretty pictures, Christy! and that's a quite scary story about the ring!
so cool minus the shark scare, I would not have enjoyed that. I totally want to go there!
Sooo jealous, it looks amazing there! Glad to hear you found the ring (And that no one lost any limbs!)
