Mekayla, Emma,Papa and Mema spent the day touring. We took a ferry to Paradise Island, saw Nicholas Cage's home, went to Atlantis, saw the aquarium, had our pictures taken on the golden throne, and declined to have our hair braided! We did all this while Mom and Dad worked at KidsUp! We learned about the culture of New Providence and Paradise Islands. We also learned that, as much as we may think we want to, we will not be living on Paradise Island.
We went to the other end of the island for dinner this evening -- a 15-mile drive past many of the resorts and time shares. The entree of the evening was Bahamian crack conch with fresh vegetables, pigeon peas and rice. The food was excellent, but it paled in comparison to the sunset. The dining room sat right on the water; what a splendid sight to watch the sun set as it reflected on the water. And how relaxing it was to sit and listen to the gentle waves lap up onto the shore. A picture-perfect day in the middle of a picture-perfect vacation!

Awesome pics. I may have to replace the thunderhead and green sea picture from earlier with one of these for my desktop/wallpaper.
Sounds like a great time!

I have finally caught up with you! Sorry to take so long to read your amazing travelogue. You're making me hungry--I love conch salad!
So, Kurtis and the girls look like they're working hard. Keri, you're giving us preachers a bad rep by not telling us about what you're doing. Come on, girl, tell us about Sunday mornings!
Miss you all,
