Our First Anniversary


For our one year anniversary Pat and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had soooo much fun! The cruise departed from Charleston, so we went down a couple days early and stayed in Charleston for the weekend. The cruise left on Monday, October 20th (our actual anniversary date) and was a 5 day cruise. We were out to sea for 2 days then docked in Freeport for a day. Freeport was nice, but we weren't too crazy about it. We went shopping then went to one of the hotel's beaches for the rest of our time there. The next day we docked in Nassau for the day. Pat and I went to Atlantis and bought a day pass for the day. We LOVED Atlantis! It was the most beautiful hotel either one of us has ever seen- and massive! We spent the day discovering the hotel and at the hotel's waterpark (which was insane!). Atlantis is definitely a place we want to go back too- maybe for our 5 or 10yr anniversary. If y'all have never been it is definitely a place that we would highly recommend- especially if you have kids, there's sooo much to do for them.

Pat in his Heaven (w/a beer and cigar)


Pat surprised me at dinner one night with a cake- he had all the waiters around us sing to us and they caused a really big scene- it was quite embarrassing, very sweet, but embarrassing










Our last night at dinner all the servers danced for everyone. it was hilarious!




FREEPORT...
























ATLANTIS...
















It's a sting ray!
























The shark tunnel...


This was literally the scariest moment of my life...This was a lazy river type- of ride but you're surrounded by this massive aquarium on all 4 sides filled with over 30 sharks and tons of huge sting rays- and the only thing protecting you from the sharks was glass!








Finally it's over!!!
