Last week me and Bryan were able to get away just the 2 of us and go on a cruise. It was so fun to just have it be the 2 of us. The first day we stopped off at Nassau Bahamas where we went to the Atlantis hotel and spent the day there. We got to see the slides that go into shark tanks, we went on their rapids river, lounged on their private beaches, watched dolphins, and went around the aquarium. Its an amazing hotel, but the Bahamas themselves...a little sketchy. We were aware of this when Bryan went to buy a water bottle and someone snatched at his wallet.
The next day was the cruise ships private island. This day was spent reading on a lawn chair, and kayaking.

The last day was spent in Key West. In this picture we are the furthest point south in the continental U.S, just 90 miles from Cuba. We found a delicious Key Lime pie, got Cuban Sandwich's, and spent to much money at a touristy candy store. They are just so irresistible. It was a great day just walking around and exploring the city.
Our evenings were spent eating dinner, listening to and watching the entertainment on the ship, playing canasta (which seemed to cause the most contention of the entire trip!), and of course walking outside the ship and contemplating what you would do if you ever fell off the ship, or if your child did, and how dark and scary it is in the middle of the ocean.

Now I am just longing for the next time I get my best friend to myself again!
