Fun outside NC--in the Bahamas

Alright...I am approximately four months behind in posts. My fans (e.g., my parents and about 2 friends) are getting restless.

Shawn and I have been up to a lot in the last four months. Aside from an amazing Christmas with my family in NC, I have started a new semester, Shawn has been busy at work, and we have gone on vacation. Here is some information on our trip from last month. Over the next few weeks, I will catch you all up on the many things we have done, from house projects to PhD milestones, so stay tuned.

In early February, Shawn and I took a trip with two of our good friends to the Bahamas! We visited Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Freeport. Part of the fun took place on the way, though, because we went there on a Carnival cruise (and don't worry--our cruise moved at just the right pace--luckily no time stuck at sea for us).

On the ship, we had a lot of fun. We participated in every scavenger hunt the ship had to offer, digital or otherwise, and after winning gold medals in two of those, we made up our own scavenger hunt!

We also spent time eating, dancing, enjoying comedy shows, and watching sunsets and sunrises. Here are some pictures from those great times:

We also enjoyed activities off the ship, like a beach day at our first stop: Port Canaveral.

And paddle boarding, snorkeling, walking downtown and beach time in Nassau.

And jeeping! We went on a Jeep adventure that took us off-road around Grand Bahama, Freeport, as well as to a beautiful garden and another great beach.

Overall, we had a great trip with some great company!
