FOTD Friday:The Bahamian Edition
Happy Friday!!
[Really quickly---I just wanted to send out my thoughts and prayers to the Jackson family. Michael Jackson's music was a staple in my household. He is a legend. And the beautiful thing about legends is that they live on forever. I believe in remembering the past and celebrating the present (Sankofa). He will join Luther Vandross, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Marian Anderson and others. This PYT will always love you, MJ!]
It just occurred to me that I never posted photos of my trip to the Bahamas. And since my skin is currently enduring burns in 3 places (brown skin DOES get sunburned….I’ll spare you the photos) I didn’t that that doing a FOTD would not be a good idea.
So let’s do a POTD–Place of the Day.
I’ve been here once before but really got to explore the city THIS trip.
The first two days were nothing but this…..
I know. Uneventful, right? It rained. And rained. And rained. And rained. Somehow, it didn’t bother me. Being able to sleep beyond 6 a.m. was vacation enough for me! And then around the 2nd day we were there….the sun came out!
Hey there Carnival!
View from my hotel room.
Outside of Atlantis…
….and then inside. The designs are breathtaking.
Fishes!
The sisters posing…
Every single time I travel, I ALWAYS have a hard time taking pictures of everything. I am too busy “taking in” the sites to even think about snapping shots. *sigh* More of a reason to return!
Off to the streets!
Thank you, Courtney for being natural in this photo..
Here goes my Dad…
“Hey Brit, look….there’s a MAC.”
Funny.
But I didn’t buy anything. Wait….now that I think about it, I didn’t get any souvenirs from the Bahamas. Mannnn….
Senor Frogs!
This photo is currently the background on my laptop. Loves it! And I loved the conch fritters there. I will say the BEST conch fritters eeeever are at The Conch Shake in Provos, Turks. Amazing!
Look! It’s ClumpsTV. Or Clumpsivision. LOL! Yes, I spent $14 to check good ole’ Clumps and to tweet. It was hard being Blackberry-less for almost a week.
More random shots!
What to wear on Paradise Island? A color liner, mascara and a glittery Dazzleglass. That’s all! LOL @ what I was listening to.
Sister shots….
…opps, forgot to “smile with my eyes”. Next time, next time.
These chicks are clearly loving their desserts. LOL!
Of course the nails STILL got polished everyday. I’m rockin‘ Diamond Cosmetics’ Hot Summer Pink!
….and then back to Miami. We stayed at the beautiful Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach. A terrible storm hit and what happens? Lights go off in the hotel. And they don’t come back on. For hours. And hours. We ended up being forced to leave.
The horror.
The commotion….
But what’s any family vacay without some random “something” happening?
Oh! I also swam with dolphins which was an amazing experience that everyone must do once in their life.
Another great trip!
Next?
Back to NYC and definitely Vegas.
Doing any summer traveling? Take me with you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
