10th Anniversary trip

Flying stand by isn't always the funnest way to go! To get to the Bahamas we went: St. George - SLC - Newark NJ- Atlanta - Nassau. Not the most direct route! We "slept" in the Newark airport! We had arrived there a little after midnight & if we left would of had to get back there in 4 hours so we decided to save hotel money & stay there. The eatery was the only part open so we sat there for a while & then finally found some "comfortable" chairs so Trent made the most of them! At least we were in 1st class on the flight to Nassau!

We got off the plane to see the drummer playing, singing, & dancing. Around the corner was a band playing some Bahamian music. It was a good welcome!

We ended up getting upgraded on our room because it was our anniversary. We stayed in the Jasmine Villa. We had our own patio entrance, the bed was covered in rose petals & had swans made out of towels!

One of the nights they left us an anniversary card with chocolate strawberries & cake. We ate SOOO much! even after eating multiple meals, we had room service every night!

The had a Junkanoo - a musical parade with costumes & dancing girls, a couple of the nights that we were there. Its a "Bahamian ting!" They don't pronounce the "h's". I loved their accents!

They put on different types of shows every night & one night Trent & I got to do the Limbo & I was part of a Men vs Women game. It was a lot of fun. We also went to karaoke, comedians, fire dancers, dance show to name a few.

They had this giant pool table & called it Snooker. We also played some table tennis & a lot of beach volleyball.

We also went to see the Atlantis resort. It was huge! Very nice & no wonder it is so expensive!

The last day, it rained all day! It was nice though. We were set to go out to the private island that day but due to the weather, it never happened.

The flight home was horrible! We had planned out all the flights & it was going to work out perfect! Until we got to Denver & it was storming! We were seriously right above the runway within 10 seconds of landing & all the sudden took off again! We were rerouted to Colorado Springs. When we were flying, we were hit by lightning! It scared the crap out of me! I was looking out my window when it hit! It was right there! The thunder was so loud! So several hours later we made it to Denver in a blizzard. Everything was covered with snow. Anyhow, we ended up staying with Susie in SLC & caught a flight home the next morning.

All in all, it was a fun trip! Regardless of the giant fever blistered lip due to too much sun!
