Bahamas Recap

    Hey fashionistas! As you may know I just went on a little getaway to the Bahamas. It was a relaxing long weekend filled with some fun in the sun and memory making. My family and I stayed at The Cove at Atlantis on Paradise Island, Nassau. Atlantis is an incredible resort that has endless activities and breathtaking views of the turquoise waters. The first day was spent catching up with my family that lives in the Bahamas, we went to a Baptism and then chilled out by the pool celebrating my new baby cousin who is the cutest little munchkin alive. At night, my mom and I hit the shops at the Crystal Court in Atlantis which are fabulous. The Crystal Courts have everything from Gucci, to Versace, and even a Michael Kors. After we were all shopped out we walked around the vibrant Marina Village and indulged in typical Bahamian culture by enjoying the Junkanoo parade and traditional island music.

       The next day we hit the beach and snorkeled and sun tanned. After an hour or so it started to rain so I quickly packed up my things and went back to the hotel room and planned on what indoor activities my family and I could do. The thing I love about Atlantis is that due to the incredible variety of activities many of them are outdoors, but there are quite a few that are indoors such as the arcade, kids center, aquarium, the shops, the pottery studio, gymnasium, and the library. We decided to hit up the arcade and play a few rounds of Guitar Hero and Video games, after that we went to Murray's Deli for lunch where we ate some New York style salads and sandwiches. I mean it was kind of ironic that my family who are from the States decided to eat New York style food, but as funny as it was for us it was an experience for my cousins who are Bahamian to eat typical New York style deli food. In the afternoon, we all got cleaned up for my other cousin's confirmation. It was such a lovely ceremony and afterwards we went to the One & Only Ocean Club for a gastronomic food experience at Jean George's Vacheron's restaurant called "The Dunes" which is on the water and has breathtaking views of the Carribean Sea.

    On the Monday, we went to the Aquaventure area on the Atlantis Property so we could let loose and scare ourselves on the crazy water slides and river Rapids. After hitting all the major slides we headed to the Cove Beach so we could relax and have some lunch. The Cove Beach is my favorite on the property because it is only for Cove guests and there is a pool right on the sand, so if you want a little bit of beach and pool you can have the best of both. After spending the whole day in sun we all grew tired so we left Paradise Island and dropped my cousins back off on Nassau. Tuesday was our last day and we spent it at Aquaventure splashing around on the lazy river and thrilling ourselves on the power tower and Mayan temple rides. Sadly, our trip came to and end and it was time to face reality back home in San Diego. Every time I come back to San Diego I fall more in love with it  and realize that no matter where I go in the world, San Diego is such a beautiful and special place and that it's America's finest city!
