Atlantis

Scott and I left early Sunday morning to arrive in the sunny, perfect Bahamas in the middle of the afternoon!  It was a breath of fresh air!  We had a wonderful time together.  It was a work trip but the other couples were awesome and the only "work" was a meeting that Scott had to attend for a long morning-- which I spent in the spa!  Shucks!  We had great meals, perfect weather and time to regroup and reconnect with each other and no baby or pre-schooler in between.  We missed the kids terribly but not too terribly until Wednesday, by Thursday all I wanted was to hold them!  I think they missed us to, and poor Mimi and Poppy really missed us but did an excellent job holding up the fort!  Thanks again "you guys" (as Mason would say)!  Our busy days in the Bahamas were great, it was those nights in bed and early morning I missed the kids.  Some highlights were swimming with the dolphins--soooooo fun!!  We actually got a ride from them.  We went out in the water with a boogie board and held our legs out and they came up behind us and pushed us, fast, through the water with their noses in our feet!  It was so awesome!  Scott and I took decided to go down a waterslide through some sharks sight unseen-- come to find out it's the steepest waterslide in the world!!!  It was scary and I do have a nice bruise on my leg but it was fun!  Then we rode in the not-so "lazy" river.  I had fun but it made Scottie a little sea sick!  We also spent a ton of time at the "adult pool" (I had to attach a picture) sipping on Pina Coladas!  I did some shopping while Scott golfed one day but mostly we were together checking out the Islands!  Atlantis is so awesome, I can't wait to take the kids when they are older.  But save up--it ain't a cheap trip!!  Especially when your lucks down at the Casino!!!!

Here we are going out to a dinner cruise, beautiful full moon behind us.
This was the Cove tower, where we stayed.  All rooms have ocean views!
Scott on the Palm...
Me lovin' the palm...
Out on some rocks, those are all the buildings of Atlantis behind us.
The "adult" pool.  The family pools were awesome too, but it wasn't a "family" trip for us!
View from our room.
We saw the sunrise.
I wish we could put some of the photos taken with us and the dolphins.  We'll get them hopefully next week to share on the blog!
BTW... for all you who don't live here, it's 30 degrees in Marion today!! Ouch!
Check out Marlee's 6 month below for her big week!
See you soon!

Wow, what an awesome trip and what a fun getaway for you two!!! I'm sure you missed your kids but what a way to reconnect as a couple and relax. Can't wait to see you guys in only a few week. Looking forward to meeting little Marlee. xo
