Our trip to Atlantis in The Bahamas!!

We had an absolute AMAZING trip!! It was so nice to get away..and of course So nice to be home!!

Here, Chad and I are walking around the exhibit called "The Dig"

Here, we are just getting done having a before dinner margarita and about to walk over to Dolphine Cay for dinner and drinks.

Going to the Cocktail Party!!

Before dinner at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill.

Relaxing on the beach....this is the life!!


WOW!! The place was SOOO INCREDIBLE!! It was HUGE and had SOO much stuff to do...They had everything there...tons of resturants, a club (that was fun..a little loud...getting old I guess), a casino (YEA!! Chad for winning some money), a comedy club, movie theatre, 4 beaches, water slides, huge aquariums, pools, awesome food/ drinks, etc.!!
We had a little set back on Wed. morning... You see, our flight was scheduled to leave at 6AM and I woke up at 5:22AM!! I think my exact words to Chad were, "OMG, we're going to miss our flight!!!" And, we did!! =(
We got dressed really really quick (the fastest I think I have ever gotten ready) and headed to the airport. They ended up putting us on an 11AM flight to Miami and then a flight from Miami to Nassau. We ended up getting to The Bahamas around 5PM -- at least we got our luggage....LOL!!

On Wed. night we went to the little restaurant off of the resort called The Poop Deck! OMG! Can I just say how amazing there food was and the drinks....even better!! The Pina Coladas were wonderful and the conch fritters...SOOOO good!!!!

On Thurs. Chad and I hung out at the beach and pool area. They had some really fun water slides and a rapids ride too..Oh the life!! Sitting in an intertube all day soaking up some much needed sun!!...SOOO much fun!! On Thurs. eve there was a reception at this little island called Dolphin Cay. We got to eat dinner and have drinks right near the dolphins! AMAZING!! After, we went to a comedy show at our resort! SOOOO funny!!

Fri. again...Chad and I just relaxed at the pool and beach area!!
Fri night we went to a cocktail party...again...INCREDIBLE! Chad's work really went all out on this trip!! It was lots of fun to get all dressed up and mingle with cocktails!! After, we went to the new club in Atlantis called Club Aura! It was fun! A tad small and SOO loud!! But, nice to get out on the dance floor and shake our hineys!

Sat. we rented jet skis and jet skiied on the ocean...Super fun!! We were every where!! Saw some of the houses where the movie stars lived, saw the island where "The Blue Lagoon" was filmed..really nice!!
After, we hung out at the beach and pool area again! On Sat. night we went out to Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill at The Cove at Atlantis! This place was incredible!! I had the corn meal crusted Chile Relano with mushrooms and cheese...It was SOOO good!! Oh, of course a margarita too!! YUMMY!!

Here are some pics from our trip.....Enjoy!!
