Adventures with the Sansings: Atlantis

We badly needed a vacation; John has had several stressful work projects, Lauren has been working on her basics for nursing school and finished in December, and Zachary and I have been facing some new tween behaviors that finally seem to be changing for the positive. So on Dec 31st, we set off for a 5 day adventure to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island.

We laid by the pool reading and napping, swam with the dolphins, ate good food, and went on the available water rides. The coolest ride was a tube ride that ended with the slide encased in clear plastic and sharks swimming around you on the outside. The best food we ate was at Chop Sticks. We had smelled it the night before and the food did not disappoint! We went exploring around the resort and walked on the beach. There were various pools around the facility that had sea turtles, sharks, sting rays, and hammer heads that were fun to watch as the trainers fed them. Lauren had never had a massage, so we figured we would try that out too. And honestly, it was the best massage I've ever had. And thank goodness for digital cameras because Zachary took almost 100 pictures at the aquariums.

We could have stayed longer because the resort had so much to offer. While it was wonderful, and I guess I would go back, it would not be my first choice since the pricing was more than I expected.
