Bahama Vacay

Atlantis.  Paradise Island, Bahamas.

For the small price of $25,000.00 a night you can have the bridge suite connecting the two towers. 

Unfortunately, it was already taken when we asked for it.  I guess you have to call months in advance.  

 

I would like to take this minute to note that these three children are happily playing together.  Playing that involved no screaming, hitting, crying, or tattle-telling.  It was wonderful.  And, it lasted quite a while.  Paradise.

Honestly, I think Steve enjoyed looking for shells more than the kids.  He was anxiously awaiting the moment he could yell, "eureka!"  It didn't happen.  Next time, baby. 

Some local Bahamian entertainment.  I was particularly impressed with the sound the teeth of a saw could make.   

The kids loved adding their own beats to the music.

Gavin mostly loved changing his hat.  

 

I think G-Jo had a good time, too!

Ava, Geedge, and Harrison just relaxing in a giant chair.

 

 A family photo with four smiles is nearly impossible to come by.  

 

 We spent a long time looking at the lobsters.  Oddly, both my boys have an intense fascination with these sea creatures. 

 A little creepy, no?  This was over your head as you walked through lobster alley. Ew.

 

 The Atlantis aquarium was a hit! 

 

So, clearly, black and white is the color of the season!  Can you match the mothers with the daughters?

 

 Gavin can furrow and frown with the best of them, so I love pictures where he gives up his adorable smile!

 

 Harrison and Ava have been playing together since birth.  Harrison loves Ava. Not kidding, I overheard a conversation between them at the beach where Ava was calling for Harrison, he replied with, "What, my love?  What?"  O-M-G! 

 

Making a bit of a habit of vacationing with these guys. 

Wonder where we'll go next year....

 

 How can you feel anything but peace when looking at this?
