March- In the Bahamas Part 1

In  the middle of March, Ben and I went to the Bahamas, while Eli and Lydia went to Grand ma and Grandpa Erickson house.  They had a blast and we also had fun a getaway.   The only unfortunate matter we that we forgot our battery charger for our camera so we didn't get as many pictures as I wanted,
The days were windy and cold.  The last day was beautiful and perfect.

Every meal was fun.  The food during the day was similar each day but at night we were able to eat at the restaurant.  The restaurant was a sit down meal that had several choices.  They had unusual appetizers like snails and frog legs and fired alligator.  Ben tried some of those appetizers and actually likes them.  We also were served lobster, ribs, steak, pot roast.  One of  favorite desserts was a cheesecake served with warm strawberries.
Our boat. It was one of the few Carnival cruise line boats that was older but that didn't have any mechanical problems.  At least not that we know of..


With in the five day period the boat stopped at three different island.  The first island was call Freeport.  The island had really expensive 


So instead of putting our a money into souviners.  We took a tour  on a banana boat. We saw lots of nice homes.  Some owned by famous movie stars.

We passed by this boat and stopped by to take a closer look.  It was a boat that supposedly came from the movie the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Ben and the other guys jumped off the boat.

Ben went to check below deck.
