the idea charmed me

Staying at The Cove inside the Atlantis has it's perks, which of course mine was the pool- Cain, that's exclusive to only adult guests. I could lay on the beach all day but it was nice to relax on the daybeds and listen to music and have a party feel. It's no surprise this spot was one of my favorite places at the resort that we came back twice in our trip. Out of all my swimwear, this has to be my best bikini contender and was so happy to find the top at American Apparel. It's a little complicated to put on but I love the double strings on the side and the coral color just screamed fun. I haven't worn a high waisted bottom since my trip to Mazatlan and thought the grid print looked cool.

this is perfectly normal

My tan was in full effect by day one and I was borderline scared that I would be burnt by the end of the week since I got dark so fast. I'm telling you-- Australian Gold does wonders. We were so lucky the weather was perfect since we assumed after the hurricane and reports it would be rainy-- but we had clear blue skies in the day and warm nights for the whole trip! :)

it was a considerable distance

leap of faith waterslide, the beach, & senor frogs

The Atlantis really lived up to it's standards and almost reminded me of a family vacation I went to at Hyatt Regency Waikoloa in the Big Island of Hawaii when I was ten. I think it's now called the Hilton Waikoloa Village now? But anyway, I think it was the Aquaventure water park that reminded me of being a kid again. This place has so much to offer and my hesitancy to stay for a full week completely dissipated after discovering all the things I wanted to do during my stay. The Marine Life exhibits at The Dig were amazing and as a connoisseur when it comes to beaches- the Bahamas has some of the best crystal clear turquoise waters and white powdery sands that I have ever seen. For once I didn't mind exploring "touristy" spots and a friend really wanted to go to Senor Frogs-- which personally is not my speed but I did have my first silly yard cup drink and ordered a sex on the beach-- an old beverage I used to get when I was like 21 and haven't consumed one since then. Overall it was very entertaining and we had a good time.

destination: bahamas!

For long trips I like to dress as comfortably as possible so these jeggings were perfect to wear for our red eye flight. Luckily I slept through the whole way since the duration to get to Nassau was longer than I expected-- especially with a stop over in Fort Lauderdale and the time difference combined. Anyway, we arrived to 90 degree weather and to a beautiful resort and it was good practice to be away from my cell phone/internet for a whole week straight.
