We had a very, very busy end to 2017, and beginning to 2018! We went on a cruise to the Bahamas on Royal Caribbean, where we spent time in Key West, Nassau, and Pearl Island.
We started off with a Trolley Tour in Key West, which ended up being so much fun! We learned a lot about the history of the area and the tour guides made the whole trip very interesting.
The above picture with the statue was taken at the Southern-most point, 90 miles from Cuba! There was a HUGE tourist line to take a picture with the official marker, so we chose this sailor statue instead.
Our tourist guide on the Trolley recommended Papa Chi-Chi's for lunch. The owner was incredibly friendly and we got a LOT of food for $5! This place was authentic and delicious!
We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets on the ship!
The person taking care of our room on the ship was one of the nicest people we have ever met, and she always took time to make us fun towel animals!
We went snorkeling and had lunch on of the islands we stopped at, Pearl Island. Lunch was delicious and authentic, and snorkeling was absolutely amazing!! I was wishing I had an underwater camera the whole time. As soon as we started snorkeling, we saw a rainbow eel - and then it slithered right into a hole in the sea floor. I was definitely watching out for him to reappear the whole time!
We had a formal night on the ship on Christmas Eve, where I actually got Andrew to dress up and wear a tie! We ate at one of the more formal restaurants for the entirety of our cruise, and the food was always delicious.
Christmas Day was spent on one of Royal Caribbean's private Islands. We spent the day relaxing on the beach and taking a nature hike through the middle of the island. We also saw a very large stingray (in the above picture), just chilling in the sand, right where we were all wading in the ocean. He never moved, but we were definitely keeping an eye on him!
We were walking along the end of the nature trail when this guy just appeared on the tree beside me!
When we arrived back in Key West at the end of our cruise, we visited the Everglades and took an air boat tour. We then saw a nature show with crocodiles. The 3 year old one I got to hold is named Larry.
Andrew tried deep fried alligator bites - I was not a fan, especially after holding my buddy Larry!
