Chad and Becca are here! Nassau, Highbourne Cay, Atlantis, Rose Island (April 2 - 8)

Chad and Becca arrived on Saturday evening, April 2.  We watched the UK/UConn game at the "Double D" restaurant that night (we almost made it!) and then set out for Highbourne Cay in the Exumas Sunday morning.  We spent that day and evening here snorkeling, sunning, eating fish, and playing some password.  It was nice to see our friends, Jewels and Jeff again.


Upcoming weather forecasts didn't look good for snorkeling, so we decided to take advantage of the southeast wind and sailed back to Nassau to visit the Atlantis resort the next day.  We were there for two nights and enjoyed 'snorkeling' the Mayan Ruins.  The kids spent the day at the water park the following day and treated us to some awesome ice cream cones that evening!





After two nights at Atlantis, we went back to the Nassau Harbor Club just down the block.  That day we took the bus downtown to shop at the straw market, and we walked to Arawak Cay for lunch at The Fish Fry (Twin Brother's). We enjoyed watching the UK vs Ohio State game that Chad brought with him on DVD, and we got in some more games of Password, Scrabble, and Boggle during their visit.


The next morning we set out for nearby Rose Island for some more snorkeling and "Island Time".  Chad and Becca ventured to the little island near the reef to snorkel and explore.  They brought back a conch!  Back to the marina that afternoon to relax and get ready to fly home early the next morning.  We're glad you came and we'll miss you!
