Bahamas ...with Boys / Our Last Day

Gray started the last day of our special vacation off riding on a golf cart, taking pictures of himself. "They're selfies, Mom."

Then he figured out to edit them in photo editor...

This is where the golf cart brought us one last time - our favorite beach at Crossings Bay!

Drive through the jungle-y tunnel to this.

Time for sunscreen again.

 We found our little island in the sea one last time, even though it was no longer low tide.

Do you think this is it?

Yay!

Just sitting in the sea, soaking it up.

On the way home, we found a sign that Grammie should come with us next time. Literally! 

The person whose driveway this is in came home while we were taking pictures. She had been to the store for a case of Sprite (that probably only cost $234 million) and kindly acted like what we were doing was completely normal.  Everyone was equally extremely friend the entire week.

 When we got back to the cottage to pack up, we discovered a new friend on Jack's swim shirt that had been left out to dry!

Mom thought this was so cool.

We offered him a photo shoot before tucking him safely in between some ocean rocks. 

Not a very chatty crab.

It was time to leave the beautiful Bahamas. 

But before the day would be over, we'd watch Air Force One take off on the runway in Atlanta, and get to climb all over our flight's cockpit. 

Yes, let's push all of these buttons.

And see what this lever does.

"Can we just ride up here?"

 Back in our seats, we celebrated an amazing week.  

This was before our plane got blocked in by two others.

Grayson's fingers confused him for a second.

Mom tried not to worry about the germs on the safety cards.

Safety experts reading up on what to do in event of crash.

Good thing those are mostly pictures. And Mom's back up plan.

We decided to fork up an extra $200 in Atlanta in exchange for an earlier flight home that saved us from a 6 hour layover. Mom suspects she would have spent at least half that much buying food and activities in the airport to keep everyone occupied so this was a steal.

In the end, our Bahamas ...with Boys trip was the best adventure our family has ever shared!

Checking bags is for braver/weaker people!
