It is Better in the Bahamas!

We recently returned from a four night vacation in the Bahamas....Jerry has always wanted to visit Atlantis, so we decided this would be a great place for us to take a family vacation. Jerry had just finished his four month trial and we wanted to get away and just be.



Atlantis is huge, in fact we didn't even have a chance to explore the entire resort...I guess this means we will have to return again one day! Truman LOVED it! He couldn't get over all of the marine life. From turtles to fish, to sharks and dolphins. In fact, one morning Jerry and Truman took an excursion and swam with the dolphins. Truman fed his dolphin fish and gave him a huge hug and kiss!


We discovered an amazing water area designed just for little ones. Oliver was able to sit and splash in the water. My only complaint was that there was not enough shade....thank goodness for sunscreen. Truman loved the water slides and we had a hard time tearing him away from this area.

Truman loved the not-so-lazy river! I think he went on it several times with Jerry and I. For some reason, every time Truman and I would approach a rapid, we were heading through them backward....lucky us! They also had a very lazy river at our hotel which the whole family was able to enjoy - Oliver included.
The best part about the trip for me was discovering a Starbucks at the marina so that I was able to partake in my daily caffeine fix. Funny enough, it wasn't priced as exuberant as the bottled water ($1o USD for a large bottle)...insane! The food was good and thank goodness we were on the meal plan or we would have shelled out a small fortune to eat.
As quickly as we got into a routine, it was time to go home. We were all a little sad, but happy to know that we will probably return again sometime. Can you believe that we didn't even manage to get to the beach?
