Anna Lauren did GREAT! She was such a "big girl" for her Nanna and seemed to do just fine away from Mommy and Daddy for a week. And words cannot express our many thanks to Nanna, she kept her all week, and we did not hear one complaint. This morning they even got up and went to eat at Waffle House so we could sleep in...just when we thought our vacation was over. Thanks so much Nanna...you are the BEST!
I have tried to post just a "few" pictures...this was hard as I had to sort through 300 plus pictures. Hope you enjoy!
Day 1: Miami
Leaving the Port of Miami...this is South Beach...
The relaxing has begun...we were watching from the balcony as the ship set sail from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas.Day 2: Nassau, Bahamas
Just getting off the ship to enjoy our day in the Bahamas...headed to the Hilton to enjoy the beach for the day.
Matt enjoying the pool at the Hilton...
Matt decided to add a little "adventure" to his trip by trying out the kayak at the Hilton...
This is a view of the Hilton, where we spent the day, as we were leaving Nassau. The worst weather we had all week was in Nassau...we had about 2 hours of rain during the day and then again when we were back on the ship leaving.
Mandi above and Matt below...formal night...however, we opted not to dress formal. I'm telling you...we were relaxing this trip...even when it came to getting ready for dinner!

Day 3: CoCo Cay
We went on a jet ski tour in CoCo Cay, which was probably one of the highlights. I don't know that I have ever seen water as pretty as we saw once we got pretty far out on the jet skis...
Yes, you are looking at a starfish. This picture was taken while we were sitting on the jet ski...I'm telling you, the water was unbelievable!
Matt snorkled in CoCo Cay while I took a nap and bathed in the sun.
In CoCo Cay, the ship just anchors in the middle of the ocean, and you are tendered from the ship to the island.
This is a picture of the island of CoCo Cay as we were sailing away...
If you look in the middle row of chairs, you can see me on the end. We got back on the boat and just hung out by the pool and enjoyed sailing away...

We didn't have big plans for Key West so we just walked to the Southernmost Point and took a few pictures, shopped a little, and got back on the ship. We were sunburned and it was a a million degrees so we just wanted to get in the pool and relax.
In the theatre waiting for the farewell show to begin...
Last night in "paradise"...
