Bahama Mama

For our 10th wedding anniversary at the beginning of September, we took a family vacation to Florida and the Bahamas. We spent the first half in Orlando. My sister (Jessica), BIL (Bryan) and Brody (nephew) drove down from Georgia and met us there. It was the first time that we got to meet 3 month-old Brody! We tried to let the kids plays but all Linkan wanted to do is pinch Brody's face and lick him! We had a great time together, lazing in the pool and visiting Sea World. (I broke the pics up. The first group is from Orlando and the second group is from the Bahamas.) After visiting with the Ripples for a few days, we all said our goodbyes. They went up to Daytona Beach and we flew to the Bahamas. We spent a week in Freeport, eating everything in sight (the conch salad is to die-for!), lazing on the beach and in the pool. We slept in and went to bed early. haha - now that is a vacation! We did some amazing scuba diving in "Shark Alley" where the reef and nurse sharks were too numerous to count! We did some sightseeing in downtown Freeport and the Lucaya National Park. It's a beautiful island with lovely people and we hope to go back someday.

It rained on us a little but it was a nice cool-down!

Beautiful beach right outside our hotel room


Linkan was 9 months old and still crawling at the time. She loved playing in the sand.


I found out just a few days before we left that Ben's cousin, Jennifer would be at our very hotel for a day at dock. What an amazing coincidence!

Enjoying some yummy fresh conch salad in the Freeport town square.
