Drew and I made a pact on our first anniversary in Hawaii that we would spend our anniversary some place fabulous each year. First year was Maui, 2nd was Boston, and this year we did two trips- Bahamas and Grove Park Inn! Drew and I were in MAJOR need of a vacation without our princess. Sloane went to hang with GiGi, Pops, Aunt Maddie, and her uncles while Drew and I jet setted to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. We had a great 4 night, 5 day vacay!
When we got to the Atlantis we sweet talked the manager who checked us in into upgrading us. He upgraded us to the club level. Free breakfast, free DRINKS, and dessert every evening. By the end of our trip we knew all the folks that worked on the club level by name.
The Leap of Faith water slide. View from Club Level
One night before heading out to Mesa Grill. It was fabulous!
the resort
Yep the locals recommended this restaurant. After a few drinks on the club level we had to try it :) Needless to say it was great.
We decided after one day of riding water slides we were to old for lines and screaming kids. We went on a snorkeling adventure/booze cruise.
Rum punch was flowing...
View from our room. I loved watching the boats come in and out.
First night just hanging around the resort
Of course we found the casino and this crazy chair.
Never a good pic when someone is lower than you shooting up :)
We ventured to Sunset Grill for a wonderful steak dinner and romance. hehe
After dinner we hit the only "club". A dueling piano bar...Drew and I love these. Well if you were over 70 it was the place to be. We got hysterical and by the end of the night the piano guys were singing out about SC every other song. I think they knew we were the only young people in the joint that actually knew what to do at a dueling piano bar!
We end our trip at the spa for a couples massage and a few hours in their pools. It was 8:30 am and we were looking HOT in this pic! Since we were in Asheville we also got to visit my rents who were staying at their "summer cottage" for a few weeks. For some reason I never film those 2 nuts! It was my moms birthday so we had lunch with her and my dad and then went to Drew's family reunion in Brevard, NC. Those pics coming soon.

Of course we found the casino and this crazy chair. I will say we had a great time BUT there are a lot more nicer places that I would recommend instead of the Atlantis. We made the best of it but we were a little disappointed. The grounds weren't well kept and everything was way to expensive.
Unfortunately on July 28 our real anniversary I had to fly cross country with my boss. When I got home from my trip my sweet husband took me to Grove Park Inn for a night of fun and more relaxation. This time the princess was with Nana.
