The big kitty knew something was up… Usually it is James that is packing for convention, and heading off to the airport. This time I was going along too. The big kitty parked himself on all of the luggage, and refused to move as we tried to pack.

 

I couldn’t wait to go.  We were loading up, heading to KC, a quick stop-off at Atlanta, and then off to the Bahamas.

This was our first trip out of the country, so I was extra excited!

I love the K.C. skyline.

Our flight out was really early, so we stayed the night in K.C. I was thankful to have the extra bit of sleep.

I was a little nervous about flying, so I brought along some new yarn to start a project with. Winding the yarn-balls kept my mind off of the early flight.

We were up before 4:00 a.m., and off to the airport.

The flight to Atlanta was fast, and running to the gate to make it on time to the next flight was even faster. We made it with moments to spare and we were off to Nassau. Seriously, I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to get there.

A few hours later, a visit to customs, passports stamped, and we were ready to start our vacation. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and oh my goodness Nassau was amazingly beautiful.

We checked in at Atlantis, and found our room on the 17th floor of the Royal Towers.

The views were incredible. You could see a majority of the resort from our window, and we had a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean too. I loved watching the sting-rays and sharks swimming below.

We settled in for just a few minutes, and then we decided to head out and explore Atlantis.

We stopped for lunch, and I tried Conch fritters. They were crazy tasty, and I wish I could make them in KS.

We finished the evening off with a welcome reception. We made some new friends, and ran into some dear friends from KS too.

We were both pretty tired after the long day, and we had a full day ahead of us tomorrow…
