Three ships had docked ahead of us . . . hmmmmm, could be lots of people in town! And the Captain pulled right in between those first two ships, amazing!
Isn't the color of the water spectacular? And I loved this sweet little light house—all lighthouses remind me of my mid-western son-in-law!
And here I am with my Vera Bradley bag . . . a Christmas gift I finally got to use because I don't carry a purse much these days. I loved having it and it went so nicely with my outfit, don't you think?On Saturday, the morning we left the ship, we received under our cabin door the last daily newsletter.

Oh what a great cruise, and such beautiful views. The water is spectacular! You look fabulous with your designer bag! What's that on your head, though, a headband? It's cute too.
I liked reading all the posts, you did a good job sharing this special trip with us! You guys have a lot of fun together, and what a fun way to celebrate the big anniversary.
I am just flabbergasted at the amount of food on the ship... where do they store it all? Can you imagine the size of the pantry! Is that for real? Amazing. The water is brilliant. I have not seen water as clear as that..absolutely beautiful! You look very stylish too I might add!
You look fabulous in your Vera Bradley bag! It matches you and that beautifully colored sea you were on. What a great trip -- with a lot of great food :>
Beautiful surroundings for your cruise. I remember getting that list of consumed at the end of my Alaska cruise and I am sure I will get one at the end of my Carribean cruise too...as if we need to think about all of that after having consumed...maybe if they gave us a list of what the last passenger load consumed, we would be a little more mindful....HA! NO WAY, they keep us well fed and never hungry.
Oh....I've been here....it was lovely. I really would like to do a cruise again...they are so much fun. Was it hard to come back home?
Here's my shot of Nassau: http://critterfarmgirl.blogspot.com/2008/01/wordless-wednesday-in-my-mind-today-im.html
