The Honeymoon in a Nutshell
The honeymoon was the cherry on top of a wonderful wedding. We left the day after the wedding for a seven day cruise to the Bahamas. It was both of our first times on a cruise ship and it was great. We got pampered and there was so much entertainment and so many things to do. Majority of the time we were basking in the sun or napping and cuddling in our room but it was just what we needed. We loved every minute of it except on the third day when we stopped in Port Canaveral and Matt had a painfully awful sunburn and nothing seemed to help. That day we stayed in the room and canceled our excursion (which I can't even remember what it was) then decided to walk around near the beach but there wasn't much to see and it was freaking hot out! We arrived in Nassau the next day where we went to a huge resort/hotel called Atlantis. They had a ton of upscale shops, spas, casino, aquarium, swimming with dolphins (we missed out on that great opportunity), snorkeling with sharks, a gigantic water park with a slide that takes you 60 mph and underwater glass tunnels with sea creatures swimming above, plus a few beaches and pools. There was so much to do but we wanted to take it easy, as usual, and browsed the aquarium then chilled on the beach. The next day was Freeport and we went to a lush garden with waterfalls and exotic plants. It was really interesting learning about the local culture and their beliefs. For example, they don't believe in mainstream medicine. Instead they use every plant in site to "cure" things such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, and even leukemia. After the garden we headed to Lucaya for some local shopping. Then it was time to get back on the ship and spend another day at sea before arriving back in Baltimore. I enjoyed a wonderful massage on the ship and some more relaxation. Everything was perfect but my favorite part was not having to leave my new husbands side for seven days!
