1 month 3 weeks and 2 days since Bahamas Cruise

Ha ha ha, I love that the little ticker at the top of my blog reminds me how far behind I am on my blogging. I have been a little lazy with blogging about it because we had so much fun I didn’t ever want to bring the camera with us. I know… I’m kicking myself about it now but it just seemed so much easier without it. This is one picture I did get of Caleb exaggerating the size of eel he supposedly saw while snorkeling.

This was both Caleb and my first cruise and we are hooked! We absolutely loved everything about it. What’s not to love? I love love love Strawberry daiquiris. (virgin of course) and every half hour these tan men would approach us and give us more daiquiris. I was in heaven.

We went on a short 3-day cruise. 1) because we weren’t sure if we would like it/get sick and 2) it was free so heck we’ll take what we can get. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a huge American Eagle fan. So they started sending me surveys to take and I won this cruise from it. Pretty sweet deal.

On our cruise, we went to Nassau Bahamas. It was so beautiful. Everyone there was black and I LOVED it! Quick side note: a couple weeks ago, Caleb and I got home from work at the same time and he heard my ghetto music and said, “You should have been born black” I like to think that secretly I am. :)

Anyway, in the Bahamas, we went snorkeling and it was so amazing. There were these bright fishes that would swim all around us. I kept diving trying to get a closer look at the reef and every time I did Caleb would grab my leg and pull me back up. The first couple of times I thought it was an accident then I started to get annoyed, because I had to fix my mask every time I would come up. Finally, he pulled me up and told me to stop. I guess they told us we weren’t able to touch the reef but I wasn’t listening. Good thing Caleb watches out for me. :)

Lastly, while on the island dozens of ladies would come up to me and say, “Hey pretty girl, you want me to braid your hair?” Caleb thought this was hilarious because clearly, my hair looked super nappy with the humidity, but that was the only day I really did my hair and I already had it in two braids.

We had a really fun time and it was so good for us to spend quality time together. We're excited to go on a longer cruise next year, but there are a few things that we'll remember from this trip: bring camera and take lots of pictures, pack lots of sunscreen, and bring plenty of spending money for the souvenir shops because most of them only take cash.
