Bahama Mama

Poor Bentley, we hadn't told her yet that she didn't get to come with us.


We had such a great time on our trip~ We NEVER would have been able to go if it hadn't been a free trip since we nearly had to take a 2nd out on our apt just to pay for food. SOOOOO EXPENSIVE. SOOOOO nice though. We feel so blessed to have won! Our pictures don't do it justice. To get the appropriate amount of jealousy, you should google the hotel. It's called The Atlantis.


This is another part of the resort by the marina. We had a really fun night one night eating down there and walking around the multi million dollar yauts that we oh so amazing!!! The boats you see here literally look like dingys compared to all the ones that were there. The blur in the last picture is a bird. :) they were all over at the marina.
This is the ceiling in the lobby when we check in. The whole resort was just as amazing it is design and decor- so great!


This is the top of the aquarium called "the dig". It was supposed to replicate the lost city of Atlantis. Inside the aquarium, they had some of the most amazing fish and ocean life. They had built it with amazing artifacts and pieces to resemble Atlantis. They had some MantaRey fish in it that were at least 10 feet in diameter. AMAZING. We walked down in the aquarium every night before going to bed.

Here is one of the many many walls of the aquarium. Beside it, my hot husband.






More of the beautiful grounds and fountains around the resort.



They had a private acoustic beach concert for us the night we got there. Justin Moore is an up and coming country star apparently, he sang.

It was open bar, thank goodness...



This was our room. Our view looked out over a lagoon that had about 15-20 sting rey swimming it it. It was awesome!!


Two of the MANY water slides there went right through the shark aquarium. You can see the tube behind Cody in this picture. Cody was brave enough and in less of a fragile condition to go on it.

So many of the hallways and corridors were just so pretty. This one was all white. The tile in it was shimmery and so pretty.


One of the beaches from the hotel. The water was absolutely beautful and perfect temp for swimming.

One of about 20 different pools. None of them looked alike and they all had something like a waterfall or slide or artifact or something to make them unique.


We got to go the the Reba concert one night. We met her right before the show. They took our picture with her but I haven't downloaded it yet. I ll add it when I do.



They had a really neat 4th of July show on the beach. The fireworks were set off from a ship out in the ocean. It was great. We watched them from the water. They had cool bands come out on a big stage and dancing and picnic tables all set up for the show. It was really cool. The Dallas Cheerleaders preformed a couple of times. My cute husband is so sweet, he was really embarrassed when I ran up to take their picture.

They took us back to the airport in a limo. What service. It was a great trip and we have a million more pictures but this takes so long to post them so I just gave the highlights.
