10 Years Ago...

10 years ago, Adam and I got engaged to be married on July 6th, 2002. Here we are then.....
This year we decided to celebrate our anniversary by going somewhere warm. We didn't want to wait until July when it was actually nice in Seattle so we went the first week of April over Grandma Cindy's spring break. I first have to THANK my wonderful in-laws for watching our kiddos. Adam and I knew they would be great and we had an awesome relaxing trip in the Bahamas as you can tell from all the pictures. We enjoyed the beach, the beautiful turquoise water, reading on the beach, napping on the beach, swimming, snorkeling, shopping, trying new foods, exploring via foot, scooter, and the local buses (called Jitney's). The Bahamas is definitely what we needed! I am so glad I married Adam and couldn't ask for a better life!
 View from our hotel room, and yes, the water did look exactly like that!

 Riding the aqua cycle
 our hotel (from the aqua cycle)
 Guy carving outside the straw market (such a fun place to barter and shop)
 downtown Nassau


 Conch is super famous here. They put it in salads, etc and then sell the shells
 the famous Atlantis. We checked out the aquarium and watched the 2 huge sting rays for a long time!

 the cheap water taxi to Atlantis
 The Fish Fry was the place to get local grub (it was yummy--we ate conch fritter, grouper, peas and rice, and a weird baked mac and cheese)
 snorkel tour to Rose Island. It was a really cool island and the snorkeling was OK
 A fort and our awesome scooter--notice the missing fender and all the scratches....

 The beach at night. We saw the coolest lightning storm that night. It filled the whole sky and we watched for almost a hour. When we made it back inside the hotel, it rained for about 10 minutes and we enjoyed sun the next day.
Love you Bahamas!

I love that last picture of you on the beach, Kay. You look beautiful! The trip looks so awesome. It makes me want to go there next!

I think we should do our next anniversary trip together since we will always be celebrating the same milestone in the same year!! :)
