Matt and I were able to jet off on a trip, just the two of us, the day after my birthday. Our trip to the Bahamas was absolutely wonderful and we loved spending 5 days on the sandy beaches of Nassau. We stayed at The Cove at Atlantis and it was perfect. The Cove is an adults only area so we were able to enjoy all the amenities, such as the water slides, casinos, restaurants, and everything on property, yet still had seclusion. It was one of the best trips we’ve been on.
Wednesday, we spent our day at The Cove pool after we landed. We had dinner at Olives that evening and checked out the casino and Moon Bar that night. Olives was just as good as I remember it being!!
Thursday, we spent most of our day at The Cove pool. We ate lunch every day at Sip Sip. They had a great lobster dip with pitas, and the hummus was my favorite. We met Rhonda, Mark, Ashley, and Bennet at Cafe Martinique (down by the marina) that night for dinner.
Friday, we were out on the beach by 10:00. We spent the day listening to the waves, drinking Pina Coladas, and I enjoyed the quiet afternoon while diving into my book.
It’s been two years since we’ve been to the beach without our kiddos and it was so nice to just read, relax, and doze in and out of sleep. Friday night, we had a reception to attend and then we went back down to the marina and walked around. We ate delicious pizza and went to the Pirates Tavern for a drink afterwards.
Saturday, again...we spent ALL day on the beach. The sound of the waves crashing on the sand put me to sleep more than once. Later in the afternoon, Matt and I went to ride the lazy river and do a few of the water slides. We had a blast!
That night we had dinner at Nobu. It was the best sushi I have ever tasted. Nothing compares to how fresh and delicious it was. In fact, we were so full from that amazing meal, that we didn’t even have the energy to go out. We went straight back to our room and curled up in bed.
Sunday morning, we went to breakfast at Mosaic and it was FABULOUS! I had fresh salmon with capers, chocolate chip pancakes, and steak slices. Afterwards, we decided we needed to walk off some of those calories so we went to find presents for the kids. We got them t-shirt’s and stuffed animals that were sea turtles.
We had to leave for the airport after checking out around noon. Our trip home was nice and we were ready to see our little nuggets. If anyone is looking for a great beach destination with tons to do, this is the place. I’m so thankful for our time away
together. It’s always refreshing to reconnect with love.
