Paradise Island, Bahamas

Last year Johnny won a sales award at work and it was for a free vacation. The award was for a free vacation anywhere and we decided to go to the Bahamas. Johnny's boss let us choose everything and wanted us to have our dream vacation. I had always heard about the Atlantis resort from the likes of Oprah and I knew it was somewhere I wanted to go. It was amazing!!!! Hands down the nicest place I have ever been. This post is only about the trip. I am going to give a special shout out to the "MOMS" that kept my kids on a later date. So, back to the trip. The Atlantis resort is unbelievable. Everything is completely over the top. The highlight of the trip for me was eating at Bobby Flay's restaurant. It was hands down the best meal I have ever had. Johnny and I needed this trip and we really enjoyed the time together. Oh, how could I forget, on the way to dinner one night we ran into Julia Roberts in the lobby. She said to say Hello to you all.

The resort has 5 or 6 different hotels and this is the one Julia and us stayed in.

This was the view of the marina from our balcony.

This was the view we had when we woke up every morning.

This is at the entrance to the casino at the Royal Towers.

This was down at the Marina village. I look pregnant in this picture but let me assure you that I am not.

This is the most famous part of the resort called Royal Towers.

Here we are getting ready to swim with dolphins. This was really fun. We got to swim underwater with a dolphin then we got to get close up pictures with it and hug and all that good stuff.

Here is one of the dolphins playing around in the lagoon.


This was our last night. In the Royal Towers they have an underground aquarium that was really neat. We had a really great time but missed our boys more than anything. It was good to be back home.
