Breathtaking Exuma

 

We got back on Saturday from an AMAZING week long trip to the Bahamas.  We stumbled on the little island of Exuma while planning our trip this year, and hit the jack pot.  Was the most beautiful beach any of us have ever been to, and we had almost the entire place to ourselves.  We had a condo that had a private hot tub, a pool and sat on the beach, which we may have seen all of 6 people in total on the entire week we were there.  It was one of those crazy places where the water is crystal clear and these amazing colors, and we could just walk out our door and be in the sand.  We all LOVED it, Josh has told me probably 5 times this week that he wants to live in the Bahamas!  Highlights were massages on the deck listening to the waves crash, a catered lobster dinner for Matt's birthday, amazing snorkeling, kayaking, a boat trip to some of the surrounding islands, running barefoot down a private beach every day, swimming with pigs, dolphins, barracudas, and sting rays, and another amazing trip with the Servens.  Such an amazing adventure for our families!

We all approve of the Kalik, the local beer, even if it does cost $4 a bottle

Of course the boys wanted to run too

 

Pure joy on their faces every day

 

 

We got SO much use out of the hot tub
