The Grand Turk

Visiting the Grand Turk!! This was a beautiful island we had a lot of fun exploring the island.
We rented this high quality little car to cruise the island it was fun to be able to have the freedom to drive where ever we wanted to!! We were able to drive to the lighthouse and go to two different beaches it was a lot of fun.
The water was so clear we had to take a underwater picture, I don't know how mike opened his eyes in salt water ouch!!

Captains Beach in the Grand Turk!! This beach was way nice with white sand and crystal clear blue water. The only thing it was missing was a old lady in a thong and old guy in a speedo oh wait a minute it did have one of those!! Kevin wanted us to take a picture so he could cherish the memory forever!! Kevin and mike were cringing and saying there are just some things that you can not unsee.
Enjoying hanging out WITHOUT the kiddos!! Loving the sun!
The light house on The Grand Turk, I am thinking it might need a little paint job!
A overlook, the water was amazing, all the different colors it was so pretty!

Fun on the SHIP

On our Cruise we also had a great time on the ship. We ate TONZ of FOOD and Kevin was as happy as can be!! I felt like when we were on the ship all we did was eat!! But that is the nice thing about the cruise all the food is free!! I like to get dressed up every now and again so it was fun to have the formal night on the ship and be all fancy!
Kevin enjoying a full belly!! I had to lead him away from the buffet line!

I don't usually eat fish so I had to take advantage and get the Lobster tail & shrimp it was YUMMY!!
Mike, Candice, Me & Kev

They taught us how to make these cute towel animal! I learned how to make the elephant, a dog, and dinosaur. Look how cute he is I made this little guy!
Being goofy on deck!! Kevin did not approve of me using this life saving device as a picture prop!
What a bunch of nerds!

Half Moon cay

Half Moon cay was AMAZING!! Think of a perfect beach and that was it!! The sand was so perfect and soft!! I have NEVER walked in sand like that it felt like I was walking in flour I loved it. The beach was so clean there was not a rock on it. The water was so clear and blue we had a blast just playing Frisbee in the water. We cleared a good area around us I think we were being a little wild no one wanted to be by us!! The other thing that was really nice is they had lunch for us for free because it was Carnivals private island. They only allow one cruise ship at a time at the island so it was really nice! The weather was perfect I could of sat there all day! I found my new happy place!!
We just finished our Frisbee game, it was the Richards against us. We both won a game but at the tie breaker the Richards beat us! Hey I challenge you guys to a rematch! Lets return to Half moon cay!
Walking around the island and checking it out!
Hanging out on the beach!

Cruzin Time

We went on a Eastern Caribbean Cruise with our good friends Mike and Candice Richards. We left out of Miami Port and we went to Nassau, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk. It was one of the funnest trips I have ever been on!! It was so nice because Grandma Baldwin came out and stayed with kiddos while we ditched them for the cruise. No crazy kids = a very nice relaxing trip!! I LOVED it!!
Playing a nice game of mini golf!! I do believe I won this game!
Welcome to Miami!
Checking out the ship when we first arrived.
Waiting to depart from Miami!
Welcome to Nassau
When we arrived in Nassau we got a cab and drove over to the Atlantis resort we were going to their amazing water park!! This resort was way nice I would take a vacation there anytime!! The water park was very large and way fun, the resort itself was very pretty It would be nice just to hang out there for a couple of days!

In front of the Atlantis Resort.
This slide was way steep it felt like you were falling off a cliff!! The water is a shark tank that the slide goes through, not that you can see anything when your flying down this slide. They did have a tube slide that also went through the shark tank that was slower and you could see the sharks swimming around you which was pretty cool.
Atlantis Resort.
Candice and me being CRAZY!! The room between the two buildings above us cost 25,000 a NIGHT to stay in and there is a 4 night stay minimum!! Anyone have a extra 100,000 laying around that they want to spend on a ROOM!!
This was a picture while we were waiting in line for a slide it was so pretty the water was amazing and so pretty!!
Having a good time at the water park, we did a train down the little kid slide to get to this waterfall! We had a great time at the water park and I would recommend it to anyone. If you are going on the cruise though you might be able to go to the resort to get tickets like we did instead of spending a $175 a person.
