~ Nassau, Bahamas and Atlantis Resort ~


This is our view of the Atlantis resort when we got off the boat.

Just a snapshot of the boat.

Waiting patiently to get on the bus to go to Atlantis.


The bus ride.


Going over the bridge we could see the boats lined up at the port. On our way back to the boat, there was another boat lined up with these. All of the Carnival boats that we have ever been on were there. Pretty cool!

The Atlantis resort was amazing. The marine life there is outstanding. It was so neat to see all of the different species God created. Its just so awesome!!

The swinging bridge. It was challenging taking a stroller over it. J had a bumpy ride.


Isn't it beautiful?


I am glad the kids were able to see the sharks, fish, and stingrays.


Look at those sharks. There were swimming right underneath us. We were standing on a bridge.


This guy was feeding the sting rays.


More shark pictures.



This part of the aquarium was cool because it was a tunnel that you walk through. We were surrounded by all of the under water creatures. They would swim right over us.


The landscape was beautiful too.


The famous chair. There were many people waiting to get their picture here.





Once Jasper woke up from his nap, he was able to take it all in.



Can you see how big this thing was? I do not remember what it was called but it looked like a big stingray. I think it had a different name though.



The beach was gorgeous!! It was just stunning!
The water was so clear. There were little striped fish swimming in the water.



I love this picture of Terral's dad. Just relaxing!!


Terral and Lauren.


Lauren and Tori.



Mom and Lauren's feet.


Don't Ralph and Debbie look like they are having a great time? I love this picture!



Terral with the kids, once again.

J's little legs were buried!


Terral taking it all in!




Nassau was definitely our favorite port. We had a blast at Atlantis seeing the resort, sea life, and the beach. We would like to go back. We feel so blessed to be able to take a trip like this. If you ever have the chance, do it! It simply beautiful!!

Lauren and her Daddy.




Lauren's cotillion skills paid off. She got to dance with the waiter.


My two pirates.


This picture cracks me up!!! Oh Hudson!!!


Little J.


This was our cruise director, Jennifer Sparkles. Everyone calls her "Sparkles".

This was the magician on the boat. His show was soooo cool! We all enjoyed it.


Though, the boys fell asleep during the show. Not sure how they could. The dancers and the magician did a fantastic job.

~ Freeport, Bahamas ~

Hudson and Harper searching for shells.

All of these pictures were taken in Freeport. We took a taxi and went to the beach. That is really all any of us wanted to do.

I did not get in the water this day, but the kids sure did. They loved it too!

My sweet Jasper. He is turning into quite the little poser.


Lauren got a braid.
