Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Easter Cruise, Part 2 of 3

We adventured off during each port of call so that we could really explore the island. At our first docking, Nassau, we took a small boat over to a private island and enjoyed peace, tranquility, and great conversation with the locals.  It was a holiday for schools in the Bahamas (Easter Monday), so many children were there.



While Daddy and the kids played in the water, I just relaxed in the sun.  My fair skin is still paying for it a week later, but it was honestly worth it.


The locals enjoyed sand volleyball and sand soccer.



Nearby dolphins and sea lions were a popular attraction.


Afterwards, we walked around Nassau a while and decided to purchase a few things:  a local coconut, tshirts, Oakley sunglasses, magnets, etc.  



Eric had to get his picture in front of Senior Frogs.



As is customary on a cruise vacation, the dinner cusine is one of the highlights.  This is one criteria of the kids:  meet us for dinner.  After that, we usually don't give a curfew.



My favorite menu item each night:  a molten lava chocolate cake.  It was sooooo good, and the 5 pounds I gained can be attributed to just this one dessert.  I ordered it all 5 nights.
