Honeymoon!

Our honeymoon was so perfect! A cruise,for me, turned out to be my ideal vacation. Nick agreed. We went on a 5 day carnival cruise in the Eastern Caribbean-the Bahamas. Our ship stopped in Nassau, Half-moon Cay, and Grand Turk. We thought it was so great because you can be completely lazy and have a total blast with all the millions of things there are to do. Room service any time of day or night,people not only making your bed, but turning down the sheets and everything at night too! No cleaning up the dishes or food after you eat. Its just wonderful. Anyways, the best parts though were off the ship. We went snorkeling, jet skiing, on some weird pirate tour (nick's choice), swam in the crystal clear beautiful water, and laid out in the sun on the silky white sand beaches. The food was our only dissappointment. Unfortunately, the food on our carnival cruise left a lot to be desired. Sure they served some good stuff for dinner, but it all seemed really bland and plain. Not to mention I had some really rancid choc milk...It was weird. Nick and I ended up eatin at the pizza bar pretty much everyday for lunch.ha. But even that wasn't fantastic. Oh well, hopefully the next cruise (oh yes! there will def. be a next!!) the food won't suck. Anyways, here are some of the many pictures we took. The ones from our favorite island (half moon cay) aren't developed yet, so i'll prob add some more later. But here's some fun ones anyway!

The pretty part of Nassau(i think)

Yes, we took down a pirate. This was the climactic end of our walk through the pirate museum.





We took a tour of the island in a VW van. It was crazy..i swear they have no traffic laws in Nassau! You can see Atlantis Resort in the background. Its so cool!

This was from our balcony(which i'm so so glad we got upgraded to!) just leavin the miami port.

Nicholas...officially on vacation. Kickin back with a cold one. Little did we know, every can of coke we drank from our room costed $2!!
