Cruise to the Bahamas!!!!! Part Two

We weren't able to get all our stories and pictures into one blog, so here it goes again.


To the Right, is our Picture Frame photo. The sun is in our eyes, so it was hard to focus well. Left in the Picture is the 14 story Carnival Imagination. The Ship was a lot of fun, but we both agreed that Royal Caribean is a better cruise line for service, food, and Ship Rockiness. Tyler was brave enough to enter the hairy chest man competition. Loriann was the biggest fan, though he lost to the Hairy Old Man named Angel.


Here is the wonderful shot of Loriann and the Blue and Green Water. The water was so clear, that the Seaweed would change the colors throughout the Beaches. That is the same Lighthouse in the background as other pictures.


Tyler is swimming in the warm water. He found many neat looking fish and a few beer bottles at the sea bottom. Those swimming goggles came in handy. He was also able to find this ten foot ledge that was lots of fun to jump off into the water. The soft white sand cushioned the falls. The local people showed him the way.

This is our formal night. Our Dinner group had lots of great ideas about strategies in Gambling. Our great strategy is to never do it. We have never lost a dime to any gambling money so far, which is better than most people can say. Each couple were so nice and we had lots of great dinner conversations.

Cruise to the Bahamas!!!!!

Last Weekend, we took an amazing adventure to the Bahamas!!!
We had so much fun and were able to celebrate right before our 3rd Anniversary. Each Picture has a great story behind it as well.

Before getting on the Boat, we needed to get to Miami, Florida. Trying to save the money, we decided to take 3 connecting overnight flights. The first one started at about 1am Phoenix time. We got to Atlanta, GA at 6am. We then left from there to Jacksonville, Florida. Atlanta was real foggy coming into town, so we had some delays departing to Jacksonville. Delta had some neat monitors above the Tray Tables that let you know arrival times. When we finally took off from Atlanta, the estimated arrival time for the connecting flight was 20 minutes after Jacksonville's Departure. We both said prayers in our heart to speed up the plane. Someone was looking out for us luckily, because we arrived about 15 minutes before the connecting flight took off. We tried to get off the plane as quick as we could and ran across the small airport to make our connecting flight just in time. This picture is the Third plane from Jacksonville to Miami, which had very loud propellers. We got to the Boat in time and had some great times from there that were much more relaxing.

This picture is regarding our Karokee experience. The people all around us didn't get up very quickly, so Tyler was the first one. He sang "Our Song" by Elton John. Lori got up soon after and sang "What I think about you." Interestingly, this song had a 26 MEASURE break in the middle. Tyler joked to the people next to him that she could have ran around the boat and got back in time to finish the song. Instead, she shook some good moves on the Dance Floor to impress the BOYS, mostly Tyler though.

As we sailed into the Harbor, We took this Beautiful picture with the small Lighthouse in the Background. It was about 9am, so we were just waking up for breakfast as well.

This picture was taken at one of the Forts with much of the Downtown Nassau area in the Background. We took a Historical Sites tour and learned much about the economy. Their Gas Prices are still around $4.50/gallon. I'm glad that's over for now in Mesa.

Also in the Background is the Atlantis Hotel and Casino. There is a small arch in the Hotels. Those rooms in the Arch cost around $25,000 per night with a 7 night minimum vacation. Too expensive for us.

Tyler fit his head into a Cannon. Some others were looking for gun powder to shoot him back to America.

Halloween Pics

Here's our little family all decked out for Halloween. Lori is a pink lady from the movie Grease, Tyler is Tiger Woods and Kaylin is Superbaby. You can see Kaylin chowing down on Candy.

Kaylin is showing off her "super" moves in these pictures. We fondly called these moves "the superbaby."

Here you can see her costume up close and personal.

This last picture is of Lori's parents. They are dressed as Gandolf from Lord of the Rings and Gandolf's wife that was never mentioned.
