Our Break

Last Friday morning William and I left bright and early to drive to Charleston to board the Carnival Fantasy for a cruise to the Bahamas! It was just what we needed. The first day, which was a day at sea it rained. We slept until 9:30-went and got breakfast. Napped from 10:30-1. Ate lunch. Then napped again from 2-4:30. I had NO idea I could sleep that much in 1 day. I guess thats what 3 years of not getting enough sleep will do to you! It was much needed though. Our first stop was in Freeport, Bahamas. Not impressed. I wouldn't recommend going there. It's just a port and you have to take a taxi into town which is 30 minutes away. We didn't do this, we just got off the ship, walked around for a bit at the tiny market and got back on board. We didn't care though, we just wanted to relax! Nassau was much better. We have been twice before. Once on a cruise, and again when William took me to Atlantis for my birthday when we were dating. The place is amazing but sooo out of our budget these days. Would love to take Chey and Hailey when they're older but we'll have to start saving now! Ha! The last day at sea was WONDERFUL. The weather wasn't what we expected this trip. It was chilly! the high was only around 70. I didn't think about it when we were packing but the Bahamas isn't much furthur south than Florida..and it is winter time. I could be in my bathing suit but the wind on deck made it a tad chilly. I was still able to lay in the sun and read, sleep, relax, eat lunch and have a drink. The last day was my favorite by far. We stayed on deck dozing, reading and just enjoying each other's (and other peoples) company. We had a great trip reconnecting with each other and I can't wait to do it again in another 3 years! We missed the girls like crazy. We talked about them all day every day. It was so hard being away from them but we really needed it. I especially, but we both were just burnt out. Anyway, here's a few pics from our trip. We didn't take a bunch-I was too busy sleeping, eating and relaxing!
