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.
