Atlantis!

I am realllllllly late on this post, apologies!

One word for Atlantis....wow!

Greg and I took a trip (just the two of us) to Atlantis last month to celebrate our 5 yr wedding anniversary. Carson spent four nights w/ his Papa G and Kiki - I don't think he even realized we weren't around. He had a blast...and so did we!

Here are a few pictures of the resort.

For those that know Greg, you know that he LOVES boats...I mean, L-O-V-E-S boats! There was a yacht parking lot just across from the hotel apparently. Everyday we found our way back over there - he couldn't get enough. :) I wonder who in the world can afford these yachts....wow! Beautiful!

Look, it's our boat..BG! Ha, I wish. And, this was one of the smaller boats, hey I'd still take it!

My friend Katie told us about the lazy river that her and Trey loved when they were in Atlantis a few years ago. So, of course we had to find it check it out. Amazing! Katie, you were right. We could've stayed on that thing for hours - in fact I think we did. This picture doesn't show you much but basically you get a tube and float around. There are rapids and gushes of water to keep you moving and if you choose to, you can take the route that takes you up to water tubes that shoot down. You know the kind, when you were a kid and went racing down a tunnel w/ water gushing your through! The best part about it, you never have to get out of your tube. You get on a conveyor belt that pulls you to the top and then the water tunnel drops you at the bottom, back into the lazy river. Genius!!!

We also had our drink of choice for the trip. Mine was pina colada! Greg's was Sands Light, from Freeport, Bahamas!

We also found some time to go snorkeling. It was in a controlled environment by the hotel (versus taking a boat out into the ocean) but it was awesome! We swam with some huge fish, sharks and sting rays! I was so nervous in the beginning but once we got going I relaxed, a little bit. :)

We have an extremely funny story about our snorkeling adventures...it started before we even got into the water. Let's just say it has to do w/ wet suits that were too small, showing up late and being the center of attention from our snorkeling group for a few minutes. :)

We ate some great food along the way as well. We checked in w/ Papa G and Kiki on a daily basis and as we suspected, Carson was getting spoiled! He played outside, went to the park and Papa G even got him this super cool chair!

I could go on and on about our trip, but I'll stop here. I would definitely recommend Atlantis to everyone! I'm pretty sure we'll be making a return trip someday!
