Bahamas and back

We just spend a wonderful week with our friends Mark, Lisa and Emily in the Bahamas. I wish we could have stayed longer or taken the boys with us, so perhaps next time. The boys had a great time with their Granma and Granpa and we had a very relaxing time at the Cabrelli's. Look at their patio, complete with outside bar...

The day we arrived we had lunch by the ocean and immediately realised how easy it is to relax in the Bahamas.
We went to visit Atlantis one evening so I could see what all the fuss is about. It is an amazing place but a bit too much like Vegas in the Bahamas which didn't really make sense to me. However, I can see that it has been great for the Bahamas and if you ever want to get away from every day life you can go for a little escapism. Here we are outside the entrance in front of the horse fountain.
We were looking into the fish tanks from above!

We also got to see some of Mark and Lisa's favourite places, met some of their friends, ate some great food and heard Emmy play piano. Thanks Mark, Lisa and Emmy for a great visit! Let us know when you decide to come back to us in Reston!
