So far the Bahamas are just as I imagined! Beautiful weather, crystal clear water, and soft white sand. We have seen some of the most amazing views just looking straight out to sea while sitting on the beach with our toes in the water. Yesterday we went to the Dolphin Encounter on a private island about 30 minutes away. This was one of the most amazing experiences. Our Dolphin's name was Andy, which we thought was just a little ironic(considering my dad's name). He had a good sense of humor just like my dad. I think I may have laughed the entire experience because it was such a unique and wonderful way to meet another mammal. What incredible creatures! It was so neat how you can relate to a very intellegent creature without using language.
Today was a me day! Cody went Scuba diving. Lets hope he doesn't come back looking like a lobster! I spent the day on the beach, reading, writing postcard's, enjoying the clear ocean water, and swinging in a hammock under the breezes of an amazing palm tree. Bird's chirping and sand between the toes went the extra mile to allowing me to fully relax. My morning massage didn't hurt either! =) It's amazing sometimes I forget that at home I don't really ever slow down. The girls, the dog, the house, and work ensure that there is never any free time. I love it all, don't get me wrong, but somewhere along the way I think I forgot what it was like to free! I also feel guilty if i'm not getting something accomplished! But here, there is no one calling my name, hanging on my leg, or needing something. Of corse, there is a tiny voice in my head, ok, 2 that is saying we miss you mommy! To which I respond, I MISS YOU TOO, my sweet little girls!
Off to the next adventure in this majestic land!
