Sunny days are here again (temp)

So this past weekend we dropped off the kids at Gmas down south and headed to the Bahamas aboard the Monarch of the Seas. Leaving black skies and tornado warnings, we headed into somewhat beautiful (it was warmer!) weather. Since we've been to the Bahamas so many times in the past, one of our companions scoured the web in search of something new. Well, we got it! We took a walking tour of the island. As we were heading from the Queen's staircase to one of the state buildings, the area where we were walking thru looked really rough. If you've been to the Bahamas you might find that hard to believe as all of Nassau looks bad. But this was worse:) We made our way to several state buildings (all state are painted pink) and discovered they were all closed (weekend), so we headed to an art gallery of a local Bahamian of whom I cannot remember his name, which was interesting, although his works were fairly dark. As we're leaving, one of our companions spoke to one of the locals who informed us we had been walking thru the "bottoms". She said it was the worst part on the island and even she did not go there unless on her way to work. Thanks to Clint for showing us the "real island" (not to mention the 5 mile walk)!
Overall we had a great time hanging out, eating (lots) and sleeping. It was so nice to be able to head to our cabin and take a snoozer anytime, night or day.
The kids I think missed us some? When we pulled up, at least 3 came out to see us. That 4th little people (Bryce) I had to find as I think he wrote us off for being away too long:)
