Nassau, Bahamas (Day 2)

Our plans when getting off the ship was to just go find a beach to go play on. Of course when you get off there are tons of locals trying to sell you on day excursions. In Nassau there is a huge hotel with an Aquarium that you have to spend ALOT of money to go see. Our group wasn't too interested, so we searched out the taxi service and found a cheap taxi to take us to a beach.
 When we arrived we all felt giddy. The sand was incredibly soft and the water ridiculously  clear and that beautiful aqua blue. We were all in heaven.
 Especially these two. Sandy Heaven.
 We all brought our snorkel gear with us to the beach. Jesse was the first one in. But came out to tell us there wasn't any life. Which is ok. It was still a great beach to play and swim in the waves. During Jesse's search for sea life he found the inside of a Conch Shell and brought it up to the beach to show us. He drops it to the ground and while we were all around it talking we notice something start to come out of it. And it was a tiny octopus. This picture it is all covered in sand and he it was struggling it's way towards the water. Luckily Jesse picked it up and tossed it back to freedom.
 Before we headed into town we had to get a group shot of us enjoying our first Beach day together.
 In town we all did a little shopping. Every place Jesse and I visit we like to acquire a magnet from there.
 We had to be back onto the ship in the late afternoon. We sent the boys to the kids camp and Jesse, Chantel and I went up on deck to read. The ship seemed extra rocky as we were headed to our next stop, which got Jesse feeling sea sick.

That night for Formal night he was feeling so sick that he couldn't even eat. Which was a shame because it was Lobster night. A night that he had been looking forward to and then he couldn't even stomach a tiny bite. I felt so bad for him. But he sure puts on a good face. I love this picture of him and Cy. They both look SO handsome. You would never know by looking at this picture that Jesse felt like crap.
