day 8

first port of call...nassau, bahamas. 

we had 2 goals while on the island of nassau.  first and foremost we wanted to find a place to get our passports stamped.  after a few turns in the wrong direction we finally found the little office at the back of a random looking building where a guy sitting laid back in his chair was stamping passports.  kinda weird but i guess that's how they do it on the islands.  goal 1 accomplished.

second on the list...get my mom and dad out to atlantis pronto.  this was a somewhat easy task.  we simply jumped in one of the many minivans at port and it whisked us away. 

a short 10 min drive later we arrived.  while the parental units gambled away the rest of us explored the resort. 

then, i decided i had to get in on the gambling action while the rest went on to explore more.

my heart just melts looking at this picture.  i wish he smiled more for the camera.  but i guess i'll take what i can get.

and that's nassau.  we purposely didn't spend too much time off the ship because besides atlantis there wasn't much to do or see.  but, it worked out perfectly because we were all pretty anxious to get back on the ship anyways.

after dinner mateo took off to hang out at the kids' club.  so that means we had some special alone time with the other little man. 

and since it was all him we spent the time doing one of his favorite things....after dinner dancing.
