Bahamas, Baby!

Hatcher and I decided to take a graduation/2nd babymoon/one last vacation before selling soul to Penn State. We went on a last minute cruise to the Bahamas! It was perfect because Hatcher's family left back to Utah the day before our cruise left Miami, so they flew Chick back to Utah with them and we had the whole cruise just the two of us! Wohoooo!
Warning: Lots of "self" pictures....we should have gotten more people to take pictures of us!

Waiting for our flight in the airport....it was already a vacation since we didn't have Chick and could just relax and talk or read!

The first thing we did when we got on the boat was hit the buffet...we discovered these little pretzel rolls....omigosh, SOOO good. We ate probably 30 of these in 4 days.

The Miami coast

We hit the lawn chairs the 1st day...

Grand Bahama Island

We finally ventured out to the beach after sleeping ALL morning (HEAVEN!!)

We were the last to make it back to the boat and it was POURING rain by the time we got there!

Nassau was our 2nd stop and it was beautiful....but I got SO sun burned that day cuz it was such a perfect sunny, day. : (

We were some of the last ones on the boat again in Nassau

I LOVE Great Stirrup Cay....NCL's private Bahamas island. Snorkeling all day in crystal clear water was AMAZING!!

I hung out all day and snorkeled in my pajamas because I didn't want anymore sun on my poor skin. Hatcher even bought me this clam shell so I would stop yelling at the sun for shining on me.

We ate pretty much 4 meals a day. This was our "1st dinner" the night we went to the steakhouse.

The fanciest restaurant on the boat...the steakhouse...AMAZING!!!! I tried oysters and we got jumbo shrimp...we ordered 3 desserts....2 10 oz. steaks...there were so many courses that we were there for almost THREE HOURS!!! Next to snorkeling, my favorite part of the cruise!

The last night of the cruise we watched Valentine's Day on Hatcher's ipad on the deck...it ended up raining but still all soooo dreamy and romantic. ; )

We are packing up on MONDAY and moving to Hershey!!! Chick today was asking us how her friends are going to get to her new house and we told her she wasn't going to get to see her friends that much anymore, she almost started crying! She was yelling, "I don't want to go to Chocolate Town anymore!!!" We are going to need to find her some playmates fast. : (

I'm so jealous right now! Looking at these pictures really makes me want to fast forward the summer to when Mike and I can leave for our Mexico trip! I'm in need of a vacation ha. Daniel seemed pretty excited about those pretzel rolls too, I'm dying to find some now. You guys look like you had so much fun and you both look great! Oh and tell chick she can just come stay in Utah and hang out with me if she wants, Mike and I would LOVE to be her playmates:)

I don't know what I most jealous of...The sunny beaches, the snorkeling, the amazing food, the "kid-free" atmosphere, the fact that you look AMAZING despite pregnancy, or the fact that you get to move to "chocolate town". So awesome!
