Nassau, Bahamas!

Downtown Nassau!
Our first port on the cruise was Nassau, Bahamas. When I researched the island, I decided we HAD to go the the Atlantis waterpark! So, thanks to some insider tips from a friend who frequents the place, we booked a room at the hotel across the street; never intending to actually stay there, and got ourselves 4 wristbands for the waterpark. You see, the waterpark costs $120 a person per day, and the hotel was $265 a night. A deal? Still pretty expensive for a waterpark on a really overcast, windy day! So, I kindly asked my dad if we could use his hotel points and he said yes! All in all, we only had to pay taxes and housekeeping fees! Not too shabby!
Atlantis amazing! We walked all over the grounds, looking at the aquariums. The kids went crazy! They loved seeing all the sharks, especially the hammerheads swimming in the open water pool! It was pretty dang chilly that day, but we still had a great time!

Dinner the second night...Not so much fun because I was by myself for the majority of it! The kids initially wanted to eat in the kids club, so Matt and I went alone. Then Beck came because he missed us. Then Matt and Beck both got sea sick and went to the room. Then London missed me and came! Crazy dinner!
