So Long Bahamas...

Happy New Year's to everyone!

We made it back from the Bahamas in time to usher in the new decade!  On our stopover in Miami, we came to terms that we had not yet come up with a plan for New Year's and Jamie made wrote our friends Ben and Ragan to see if we could all meet up.  With a toddler and another baby on the way, we figured they would be up for something low-key if they were in town.  Fortunately for us, they were!  And so we got to enjoy some yummy Thai Curry Mussels with freshly baked rolls (I was in a big baking kick when we got home).

The Bahamas, of course, were awesome, and Jamie and I are already planning our next trip out.  We would have loved to stay longer, but sadly, I have to open the building at work tomorrow (!) so our trip to paradise had to be cut short.  Still, we had a wonderful time...

It had been a couple years since we have been to the Bahamas (since Christmas 2007) and it was great to see how somethings hadn't changed.  It was still gorgeous, populated by friendly people, and completely relaxing.  Although I did have to do some work while I was there, it was infinitely better to do it to the sounds of the ocean and with a cool breeze at my back on the deck.

We spent lots of quality time with Jamie's side of the family and had lots of laughs, got to snorkel at Fowl Cay, and swim in the heaven blue water.  While I really missed seeing my side of the family, it also reminded me how fortunate I am to have two loving families to which I can belong...

I'll put up some more pictures from our trip over the next few days...hopefully!
