The Nehmer family had a great Spring Break. We went on a cruise to: the Bahamas, St. Marteen, and St. Thomas. We had great weather, fantastic food, fun excursions, and good company. Thanks Dad for a wonderful time! My favorite vacation to date!
Day 1: Ft. Lauderdale Florida
It was fun to have some beach time before we even got on the boat. The hotel was fantastic here, and my dad found a great restaurant right on the beach. The fun has begun!
1st stop: Bahamas!
Riding the boat out to the island where we swam with the sting-rays. (those picts and video coming soon from the underwater camera). Poor Billy was sick with a cold on the ship this day. He stayed back and ordered room service and slept.
Telling Dad about our Adventures for the day. Luckily his rest and recovery paid off and he rejoined the festivities that night.
We lunched on the beach, relaxed in the chairs, and enjoyed the Bahamas.
We shopped in town before returning to the ship.
2nd stop: St. Thomas
We started the morning off with a little shopping in town, lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, and then headed to our SNUBA diving excursion. (Again, those pictures on the other camera.. I'll post those later).
3rd stop: St. Marteen- My Favorite!
Lunch was at a great cabana in the sand- Best bacon cheeseburger and fruit shake I've had in a long time!
This is truly my happy place: on the beach, in the sun (hat for shade of course!), with a good book and a cold Sprite! Ahh..
Dinners/ At Sea Days:
Carter got tired of going to dress-up, sit down dinners after the second night. With five more nights to go, we had to find a solution. Turns out he loves Kids Club way more than hanging with his old brothers and sisters at the Adagio Dining Room. He would beg to stay late every time we went to pick him up. His only request: deliver some of that sherbet from dinner half way through the dodge ball tournament! Sure thing Carter.
This ship had so many things to do! Our favorites: the Flowrider surfing wave, rock climbing, laying by the pool, ping-pong, mini-golf, basketball, etc. We didn't have time to try everything! Next time we will have to ice-skate and ride the carousel, and the zip line on the ship.
It took us three days to talk Carter into finally trying it! Good coaxing Rick! Carter's favorite trick: the "Superman." Throw your board out, surf on your stomach, catch it and keep going! You are super Carter!
Thanks Mom and Dad for a great vacation full of sun, laughs and adventure!
