4 Year Anniversary Cruise

This past weekend Chad and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on a Carnival cruise ship. We had taken one together before for our 1 year anniversary but we left out of New Orleans and went to Cozumel and the Yucatan. This trip we decided to fly to Jacksonville,FL where we boarded the Carnival Fascination ship. We flew out early Thursday morning and were on the ship by 2. The ship didn't set sail till around 5ish. Of course as always the ship was amazing and spectacular. Saturday morning we woke up and we were at Freeport, Bahamas. We got off and just walked around the town right near the boat. Nothing to exciting. That night we got all dressed up for Captains Dinner in the main dining area and then they had a "Las Vegas" type show for entertainment that night. Late Friday night we were told due to Hurricane Issac we would arrive the next day in Nassau, Bahamas an hour early and leave an hour early, so Saturday morning we woke up to Nassau, Bahamas. Of course the water was breath taking. The weather outside was great the wind was just real strong. We walked around the shops in the town for a little bit got Allie Hunter a few things and then took a taxi over the bridge to the Atlantis Resort. That place is amazing. Would love to go back. We just walked around the casino and through all the aquariums. It was so packed though, with the  people who were actually staying there then the people who were coming over from all the cruise ships that were docked. We had a wonderful dinner that night and Chad won $100 in the casino :) Now Sunday was a different story. It was our only day at sea and why did it have to be this day. The weather was overcast and the waves were HORRIBLE. We pretty much stayed in the room all day long. We would get so sea sick if we tried to get up and go anywhere. Thank goodness by late that evening it was so much better. We were able to enjoy our last night with a great dinner and another wonderful show. Sunday we woke up so glad to be getting off the boat. :) We had enough of the rough waves. We headed straight for the airport and right back home to good ol' Northport, Alabama. I love to go on vacation but I'm always ready to come back to my house, especially now that we have a child. I was so ready to see AH. We even made it back in time on Monday to pick her up from school. She looked at me when I walked in like she couldn't believe it was me and said "Mommie, its you" she gave me the biggest hug and just stared at me smiling. I missed that little girl soooooo much. I decided not to take my camera didn't wanna have to carry it around the airport and I was afraid if I put it in my check in luggage something would happen to it so the only pic we got from our cruise was of us two. Which hey, that's what the trip was all about JUST US !!
