Freeport, Bahamas

This May we took our annual family vacation with my family to the Bahamas.  Let me say…MY PARENTS MADE IT OUT OF THE COUNTRY IN ONE PIECE…they had never been out of the US and why not make the Bahamas their first stop :)  Our family LOVES.LOVES.LOVES the beach!  We all arrived safely and were ready for some fun and relaxation (as much relaxing you can do with kiddos) on the beautiful beaches of the Bahamas!  We spent the days swimming, building sandcastles, collecting fallen coconuts, and much more.  The nights were spent trying our hand at blackjack :) One morning we took a boat to see the pirate ship they taped the first movie Pirates of the Caribbean on and to see dolphins.  Mason loved seeing the ship…we even got to walk around on it…it was a little creaky and OLD and even smaller than I imagined…but very cool to see.  And of course the dolphins never disappoint…saw them do several tricks…Madelyn’s favorite :)  We also parasailed.   I was supposed to go with my dad, but the wind was not blowing too hard so we had to end up going by ourselves :( but it was still so much fun…always a fav of mine.  However, the next evening Jenny and I decided to parasail and we got to ride together…it was a major accomplishment getting my sister up there ;)  We also jet skied around the resort.  All the kids had a blast with Nanny and Papa and we were sad to have our trip come to an end…but we will for sure be excited to where our next adventure will lead us!
