I went down to Miami to celebrate my grandfather’s 80th birthday last month. We threw a party for him and he had a blast! While I was down there, I decided to spend a few days in the Bahamas. It’s less than an hour flight from Miami.
I went with one of my best friends and we stayed at the Atlantis Bahamas which was amazing! From our hotel room we could see the stingray pool and the floating river. The beaches were even better than I remembered (I have been to the Bahamas many times before). The water was so clear and various shades of blue.
On the property we were also able to see turtles, aquariums, and go on a water slide through a shark tank.
One of the days we took a jetboat to a private island where they have pigs on the beach. I was really excited to see the pigs. Although they were super cute and fun to feed, the reality was that they were pooping everywhere none stop. On this same excursion, we went snorkeling and were able to feed stingrays. Our guides caught some conch shells and made a fresh conch salad for us which was delicious.
It was a quick getaway to paradise but so worth it. The Bahamians are such nice and friendly people. If I lived in Miami permanently again, I would go back to the Bahamas once a month! Do you have any plans for the summer?
Sounds like you guys had a great time!
