BabyMoon

The Nowaks go on a BabyMoon! Nassau, Bahamas.... so pretty! Claire's first trip!...No, not naked but you get the point. Bump at the beach. The Bahamas was beautiful and relaxing. It was bittersweet after losing Ganny, but we went and made the best of our 4 days there...spending time with Josh and taking lots of pictures which I uploaded to Facebook. I really hate uploading to Blogger, it's a huge pain and takes forever. So I'll pick a few to share.......We tried to do some excursions like snorkling or sailing, but turns out when you're 5 months pregnant, people look at your funny when you say you wanna go on these adventures. Then, they mention things like "waiver" and "liability" and that just did it for Josh. There was no way we'd take the risk, so we just made our own adventures....... Our hotel was over 100 years old, the British Colonial - Hilton. It was really nice and had a private beach. We were located right next to the downtown market where I got to shop and swipe up some good fake purse action. Love my new yellow Tory Burch purse! Also got my sis a Coach purse and Josh got some sunglasses. It was your typical market with locals hassling you and little kids giving you "free" bracelets (tip please?). We were also located next to the harbor where the cruise ships come in. It really was facinating watching them come and go and turn and dock. They are huge, especially the Disney Cruise! And this is what the locals LIVE for. Literally. Without these ships porting, I think the Bahamas would be in big trouble. Even though we were tourists at the nice hotel...everything shuts down after the boats leave! If we didn't get food by 4:30/5pm... we were outta luck! Hence our lovely evening at McDonalds. Which, by the way, was DELICIOUS! .... Another adventure we took was the ferry over to Paradise Island where millionaires and famous people have private homes, like Nicholas Cage, Oprah, Tiger Woods, etc.... This is also where the Atlantis Resort is located, again...not too preggo friendly, but very beautiful! The smokey casinos and the water park rides weren't up our alley, but we did check out the huge Aquariums and of course...we found Nemo. ..... Josh did have some of the Bohemian beer and he said it was pretty good, I took a whiff and it smelled fine. Haha. I actually ordered a drink at the hotel bar from the Non-Alchoholic menu and it was called a "Fresh Fruit No-Jito." Hilarious! ........ Overall, the Bahamas has beautiful water like a swimming pool, fun shopping centers and GREAT fried shrimp at the famous Fish Fry that every local suggested. One draw back from our hotel...and maybe it's an issue all over the island. There are beach rats. Yes, RATS. They come out of hiding at night and run in front of you along the paths to the beach. And don't let Josh fool you...he was just as scared as me. We sat by the pool one sunset and saw them start to come out and thought...we'll just take this party inside.

I'm so glad we had this little getaway before the baby takes over our lives, I don't ever want to forget to have nice romantic times with my husband in the future, no matter how hectic our lives get.
