The Bahamas!

So we just got back from another wonderful trip to the Bahamas!!  Once again we had such a good time with family just relaxing, laying around, eating and having fun!  What more could you ask for?!?!  The past couple of years I have been able to participate in the amazing cocktails and the fun slides at The Atlantis but this year, Tenley wouldn't let me.  Even so...I had a great time.  Everyone kept worrying about me since I couldn't do much but what they didn't realize is that I was doing EXACTLY what I wanted to do...NOTHING!!  It was perfect!

I spent my days laying on the beach or in the cabana reading The Help (amazing book by the way).  I did get to go have my first prenatal massage which was awesome!!  The spa at The Atlantis was unlike anything I've ever seen before!!  Beauty, calm and serenity at its best!!  The massage was great and it was something I got to do with my sister in law so that was a lot of fun!!  I wish she lived closer so that we could do more stuff together!  I wish I had taken pictures of the spa to share (story of my life).

We stay at The Cove in The Atlantis.  It is so beautiful and this is the open air entry when you first walk in.  The sides are filled with wild flowers and ponds with tons and tons of fish! 

These two pictures would be the view from the bed!  It is so awesome to open your eyes and be looking at this sight!! 

 These are pictures from our balcony.  The top picture is to the far left which is the beach, the middle picture is of the pool and "the tower" which is where they have some of the awesome slides, and the third picture is to the right side of the balcony where you can see The Royal Towers of The Atlantis!

This is the cabana that we stayed in.  These cabanas are so great because on one side you have the ocean and the other you have the Cain Pool (which is the adult pool at The Cove).  Its great to be out of the sun but still be enjoying the beautiful weather in these things!  Spoiled is what that is...simply spoiled!

These are just a couple of shots of the beach in front of the cabana.  This was a great places for all the guys to play football!  It's so much fun for me to watch the husband and his brothers playing and having fun!!  They all have such a special relationship...I love it!

From the windows by the elevators you can see where the ships dock.  The Allure of the Sea was docked there one day and man was that thing HUGE!!!!  Definitely want to get on that!!

 Another fun thing we got to do while we were there was go see Jerry Seinfeld!  HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!  I mean, how often do you get to see Jerry Seinfeld do stand-up?!  His opening act was the very funny, Tom Papa!  He is the host of the NBC show The Marriage Ref...it's a really funny show and he's a really funny guy.  The husband and I went with one of his brothers and sister-in-law.  It was his brother's 30th birthday and we all had a great time.  (My brother and sister in law actually went after the show to the meet and greet with Jerry and they said he was very nice).

 This is a picture of me and my handsome husband after we eating at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill at The Cove...SO GOOD!

We had such a great time and can't wait to go back next year!!  However, next year will be a little different since we'll have little Tenley with us!!  Oh the adventures of traveling with a baby!!  YIKES!!

I saved the best picture for last!!  This is the reason we came home!!!  The most handsome, wonderful, furry, loving, funny Manimal on the face of this Earth!!  I don't care where we are, who we're with or what we're doing...our family just isn't complete without our puppy love, Axel!!
