Shopping and Blue Lagoon Island

So the past 2 days have been AMAZING! Friday we went into town and looked around. First we went to the straw market.  It was fun to look around and see all the handmade purses and jewelry.  It was really big, but a lot of the people had the same item just different prices.  Abby and Rob won the negotiating awards.  I am horrible and trying to get prices down but they worked there magic to get us some great deals!  I got a bracelet and headband, and Rob bought me a handmade tribal mask I wanted to put in my classroom!

After that little shopping fun, we just walked around downtown to see what Nassau is all about.  For lunch we went to Senor Frogs and had a blast!  Of course it is the "tourist" place to eat, but we love the atmosphere.  We did a little eating, dancing and of course drinking!
 Rob wanted his Bahama Mama

A little dancing fun for the 2 dancers of the group

After lunch we decided to come back and spend the rest of the day at the beach.  It was so relaxing and the whole reason we are on vacation.
 Loving the water!
 We couldn't resist just sitting in the water

Saturday we spent the whole day at Blue Lagoon Island.  This was the place I really wanted to go, and it was worth it.  We took a ferry to the island and spent the day soaking up the rays.  They also have some inflatable water toys we had fun on.  My parents and Abby went to the dolphin observation, while the rest of us chilled.  Overall it was a great day!
water slides and rock climbing were our favorite

So today  is Sunday and we are planning on spending the day on the beach or in the pool. Abby, Tim, and my mom went to the Methodist church in town.  They are still there so, I can't wait to hear how it was when they get back!
