Our Trip to Nassau, Bahamas with Jen and Brandon

On the plane headed to Nassau. We got up at 430 this morning, we were sooooo tired, but not anymore! :)

We stayed at the Sheraton Cable Beach Resort. It was very nice and everyone at the hotel was so friendly.








Since we got to Nassau so early, our rooms were not ready when we checked in at 11:30. Normal check in was not until 3:00. Although it was raining out, we decided to grab lunch at the beachside grill on property while they got our rooms ready for us.




Hungry Billy looking for his food. :)


Jen obsessed with her new camera.


waiting for lunch,,, I was sooo hungry!


Paying for lunch.


Jen and I went down to the beach to take a few pics while the guys were paying for lunch






Since it was raining out, and we could not go down to the beach,,, we decided to go to the Atlantis to do some looking around.


riding in the taxi,,, all taxis in Nassau are vans,,,, weird huh?



Mr. and Mrs. Adams



Do I look stiff in this photo? hahaha!


Billy Boy
Pete and Repeat

Random pics around the Atlantis Hotel. The rain forced alot of people inside and it suddenly got very busy with all the people inside and off the beach.










Pictures from the Aquarium inside the Atlantis...It was HUGE.







Apparently this is a pretty popular chair inside the Atlantis,, the line to get your picture taken in it was pretty long. There was Atlantis Staff there controlling all the comotion. Nuts!


King and Queen Atlantis. :)

The Twins,,,, again,,,,,

Bill got some very interesting pics of some artwork around the Atlantis. These were in and outside the Casino.


What is this? Snakes? Medusa? It's made of glass, that much I do know.

This thing looked like ice..... kind of strange

My FAVORITE! Too bad I didnt win enough money in the casino to buy those dang shoes! $495.00 OUCH!

The Atlantis Marina. If you want to see some of the most amazing boats (yachts) in the world, just come here.
The Mr. and Mrs.

Not sure why I love it here,,,, I just do.

The Twins.....in yet ANOTHER picture together :)


It was so nice just walking around here.

Bill playing around with the camera,,, if you could only see ALL the pictures he took of me, and mt nose and feet and eyes and who knows what else...... :)


Bill discovered he could take pics in Sepia... pretty neat!

Finally, some beach time. After it rained all day,,, I doubted the sun would ever make an appearance... it was late,,, but it did!


See this waterfall? I literally had to BEG the kids to quit playing for just a sec so we could get a picture.

Aw! The newly weds.


Bill kept saying "wait, one more!" the sun was setting,, it was so pretty outside


About to leave for dinner.

Well, we got lucky tonight. We were able to get last minute resercations at former Iron Chef champion, Bobby Flay's new restaraunt Mesa Gril. It was AMAZING, but bring the checkbook if you know what I mean! Great food, even better atmosphere!

Outside Mesa Gril, waiting on our table to be ready.


waiting four our dinner,,,, we later found out Sean Connery was here, at this very moment. He now lives on the Island and has taken Bahamian Citizenship...... nice!


The Cove, where the Mesa Gril is located. It was soooo beautiful!!

At the airport in Nassau, getting ready to come home. By the looks of the departure board,,,,maybe they will cancel our flight! :)

Billy waiting patiently for our flight back home. :(

Walking out to the plane,,,, :( Do we REALLY have to go? We had a great time, but next time we are definately going to stay longet than 1 night!

So here's our latest story........

So,,, here's the story. Through the organization that I do volunteer work for, I get this call about Lucy, who is chained, outside, with no food or water. I contacted her owners and It wook me 2 weeks before they agreed to surrender her to me and Dogs Deserve Better. I lined up a transport for Lucy to go to South Florida where she would live with Suncoast Basset Rescue until they found her a permanent home. Needless to say, we fell in love with her and could not let her go. The rest is history! :)
Lucy's first picture in her new home,, when she came in, she was STARVING and went straight to Case's food!

Getting Aquainted!
