day at the atlantis

We are heading for a fun day in the sun at Atlantis, Bahamas.  Shay is staying here while B and Nick are in town.  She gets a free pass to see all that Atlantis has to offer.  We decided to check out the Aquarium first.

Bennett was taken in with the fishes swimming in the enormous taken right off the bet.

And, so was Shay.  The fishes liked her too.  

The place was small but they offered a good selection of different sea creatures.

Eels creep me out mostly because they remind me of giant leeches.

An up close look at the conch snail.  They are so weird looking.

Bennett was really enjoying himself.

Lastly we saw the lobster tank.  It was crawling with lobsters.  The lobsters here are much different from the lobsters I am used to in New England.  They are not as meaty or sweet. 

That was a fun way to spend the morning.  It also made us hungry.  So we grabbed lunch after which we headed to one of the beaches at Atlantis.

They did a good creating a few small beaches around the hotel.  The sand is soft and the water was nice and warm.  We even saw a few schools of fish in the water.

B enjoyed playing in the shallow water.  

We did a lot today and that deserves a great meal.  We went out to a nice restaurant at Atlantis.  Our service and food were superb.  Shay and Nick split a meat platter that they cooked at our table.

They got steak, sausage, lobster, pork shop and chicken served with potatoes and asparagus.  It was an unbelievable amount of food. 

Needles to say, we were all stuffed and very sleepy after dinner.  Looking forward to working some of the meal off at the beach tomorrow.
