DAYS 1 - 3 of Our Bahamas Vacation

Hey there!

Lets cut right to the chase today.
Vacation. IT. WAS. THE BOMB.COM
Seriously I couldnt have wished for a better beach and to be with better people. 
We had the times of our lives!

Today Im going to post a shit ton of photos with short captions because who am I kidding I know you dont want a play by play of my last 6 days in paradise! 
You want the good shiz so thats what youre getting!

First, a couple things you need to know!

1. I didnt use my Nikon on this vacation. It just wasnt feasible so I picked up the Olympus Tough TG-820 (thanks to my very sweet Boo) before we left. It was AMAZING. Its waterproof and tough and perfect for a beach vacation. I highly recommend it!

2. Vacation Details: We went to Port Lucaya, Freeport in the Bahamas and stayed at the Grand Lucayan Resort. Its really nice and we were told it was the nicest resort on the island. There was an amazing town center across from the resort full of shops, restaurants and bars which was PERFECT

Okay here you have it!

Chris and I went a day early because I really like to have at least 5 nights and 6 full days for vacation so these pics are from our first day!

THE RESORT:


{The Casino}

{The marina had amazing boats docked. This is just like the catamaran we want to charter for our next vacation!}

DAY 2:

We rented motorcycles and explored the island. Chris found us this AMAZING remote beach that only the "locals" go to. It was the most gorgeous beach I have ever seen in my life. EVER!

{My first time driving a "motorcycle" dont you dare downgrade this experience, motorcycle sounds way more badass than scooter. I almost crashed twice. Like ran this bitch off the road and almost got run over by a FEDEX truck.}

{And then we found this}

{This sweet lady was just sitting alone on this sandbar. It seriously looked like a postcard of paradise.}

{We found so many starfish and sand dollars! And BIG ones too!} 

{Took my breath away}

{Ashlee and Justin arrived that afternoon to meet us.}

{The infinity pool at our resort}

{Girl Talk}

{Pool yoga??}

{L.O.M.L}

{The resort band}
shirt: Old Navy $3
skirt: Old Navy $8

Day 3:

We decided Justin and Ashlee HAD to see our secret beach so we rented the mopeds and took them back! It was just as amazing this time! We were smart the second go round and stopped by the liquor store and picked up some Vodka for our venture!


{Motorcycle time}

{Newlyweds}

{The storm clouds started coming!!}

{Lunch at the little cafe on the island}

{Conch findings}

{Starfish! This sweet lady had just got married!!}

{Sea urchins}

{The rain hit HARD so we had to bail on the motos. And YES Chris wore these googles!}

{We decided to make fresh coconut drinks when we got back! Chris trying to shake them down.}

{I finally found a limb and shook the shit out of it! 3 fell!}

{Makin our drinks}

We then grabbed dinner and headed to the local bar! This is where the mayhem began!}

{This is when I knew he was getting WASTY FACE! Pole dancing in the square.}

{New friends}

This led to hours of us in the casino with a VERY drunken Wylie! I will have a VLOG tomorrow of the epic "hide and seek" story to share with yall and our last 3 days of the trip!!!

Hope you all had an amazing Labor Day Weekend!!!

  46. Haha he better not be "addicted" to gambling! I would kill my hubby if he lost several hundred dollars in a matter of minutes. I totally would have claimed to be his wife too. Butt naked Hide and seek?? Sounds like a plan to me!! I'm sooo glad that he didn't get arrested...They would have let him out, but the Bahamians would definitely make you pay for that. Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  47. That looks like so much fun - can I please be taken there right now!
