20th anniversary trip to Atlantis - 7th week of summer

Day 1 

Travel days are not always fun, but we made it.  Our original flights had us all flying together from Richmond, but our first flight got delayed the night before and we knew we'd miss our connection in Atlanta.  We all scrambled to make changes (on different flights), but we were all reunited in the Bahamas before dinner!

We got ourselves acclimated with the resort the first night.  We saw the aquariums, got burgers and swam. 

Day 2 

We hit the beach on our first full day and loved the crystal-clear water. 

There was lots of snorkeling on the trip and lots of fun things seen including sea turtles. 

There were lots of beach drinks consumed as well. 

Ready for dinner. 

We had dinner at Chopstix and it was quite an entertaining experience for Bryce. 

We planned this trip to return to our honeymoon destination for our 20th wedding anniversary.  We had to take an updated picture in the chair!

Sometimes they love each other, ha!

We always love each other, ha!

My work roommate and I realized a couple of months ago that we had planned the same tip for the same week so we met up with them a couple of times on the trip. 

Day 2

This was our anniversary.  The kids (and Nana) surprised us with shirts to mark the occasion.  

It's such a beautiful resort. 

The kids were good playmates for Ella. 

Bryce and I could sit in the sun ALL day!

Jason and I had dinner reservations for our anniversary and the Kothes were kind enough to take our kids to dinner with them.  

We ate at Seafire Steakhouse and the food was amazing!

After dinner we met back up with the kids and found the most peaceful area to rock in hammocks. 

Day 3

Touching the sea turtles in the wild was the highlight of their snorkeling adventures.  

Many milkshakes were consumed on this trip. 

We clean up well.  

We enjoyed one last dinner together.  I've seen pictures on social media where guys show up to an event and they're all wearing the same shirt.  Even though it was just the two of them, we thought it would be fun.  They were surprised!

This guy is quite a character. 

Another milkshake!

Day 4 

We spent the last morning on the beach soaking up the sun!  As the week went on, Bryce started to see some really tall guys at the resort and learned that there was a college basketball tournament going on at the resort.  He and Jason were able to watch two games on Friday afternoon (South Carolina vs Lithuania and Creighton vs Bahamas.  While the boys were gone Emmy checked off her bucket list and got her hair braided.  

We all met up at the pool to wrap up our last day!  It was a wonderful trip with many great memories made!
