Captions

I think that I must warn you....this post has a LOT of pictures.  For the past few nights Mike and I traveled with my parents to the Bahamas.  It was wonderful to be out of the house, away from the cold, and have time to sit and be with each other.  I love traveling with Mike.  He is super easy and laid back BUT he also likes to DO things and not just lay around.  Personally, for these few days, I wanted to do both.  I loved laying in bed with the doors open listening to the ocean while I read my book.  I also enjoyed a gazzillion calorie filled drinks by the pool.  BUT I think that I had the most fun sailing and playing tennis in the morning.  Regardless -- he is pretty great to travel with.  So instead of the normal 5 that I usually post....I am going to just add captions to all of the pictures.  

The view from our room.  I am still obsessed with the color of the water.  Obsessed.

A view from my morning run.  I was able to take the "jogging" path AKA the golf cart path along the back 9.  It was unbelievable.  There was not a soul in sight.  I actually stopped running and stood in silence to take in all of the beauty.  Then I would continue a few more steps just to stop again in awe.

Mike eating dinner one night.  He would order 2 appetizers & 2 entrees at every meal.  We succeeded in eating at every restaurant and drinking at every bar.  I couldn't fit into my shorts before we left.  Yup. Awesome.

The last morning enjoying drinks in a cabana.  

Mike's favorite drink of the trip.  I must admit -- I am personally not a mojito fan because I don't love the mint leaves but these drinks on the other hand were absolutely fabulous.  I might need to learn to make some at home.

I was trying to take a picture and make my bags under my eyes disappear -- clearly it didn't work BUT Mike joined in on the fun.  Basically this is how we operated for 4 nights with endless amounts of booze.

The last night we were there we had a dance party with a huge group from Indy -- strange I agree.  We ended up shutting the bar down that night.  My camera was acting up on my phone so Mike was doing poses all the way back to our room as I tried to fix the issue.  This was his "Back Street Boys" pose.  

I think that this one is self explanatory. 

I added this picture so you can see my dad photo bombing the background.  This was at the "quiet" pool.   Mike and I only visited once for a few short minutes.  We usually stayed at the other pool -- he even tried to enter me into a dance competition.  I did NOT have enough liquid courage for that.

My dad always made fun of my selfie stick...but I think that we got a pretty good shot!

Every night we played euchre before dinner.  We would laugh and laugh.  By the last night Mike and I actually won a game.  

The gang.

This is the view from our room.

Last but not least -- Henry brought us a fresh coconut and opened it up for us to drink the water.  Then we found a bartender who could turn it into a fabulous drink.  It was amazing.  Mike was in heaven.

It was a wonderful trip.  I am glad that we made it back in one piece.  The twins stayed with Greg and Pat came into town to watch Jack.  When we got home late last night the house was spotless and our fridge was full of food.  Jack is a bit more spoiled but he will soon be in boot camp to get whipped back into shape.  ...kidding.... half.

Grateful for a few days in the sun spending it with people that I love. Cheers to the next vacation!!
