This years destination was Treasure Cay on the Grand Abaco Island in the Bahamas. Yep, that's a lot of words. Needless to say, it was AWESOME. Treasure Cay was very secluded. Only a few restaurants, but in my opinion, the world's most BEAUTIFUL water.
The week was filled with long walks on the beach, major relaxation time, and LOTS of reading (particularly because it was cold two days). While I'm on the book subject. I have 2 MUST READS! The first being Choosing to SEE by Mary Beth Chapman and Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis. Both of these incredible women are Nashville natives. I guess I was raised in a great place, although I'm still partial to Birmingham! If you were buying the books from me I would put a money-back guarantee on them, I'm just that confident you will love them! Check them out.
The last two days we had some Fun in the Sun! Out to the ocean we went. First we stopped for a little bit of fishing. We caught some Snapper, Yellow tail, and a Sucker fish. That night we ate our "catches of the day". DELISH! Pics are below but I must tell you about the dead gum sucker fish! I waited for at least 30 minutes to get him. He was about 2 feet below the surface and circled at the bait nibbling forever, BUT, nonetheless, I finally snagged him!

The next day my dad, sister, and I went scuba diving. This is a hobby that we have all newly acquired within the last few years. Adrienne and I got certified in August, so it was fun to take our first official dives. During our two dives I was in awe of God's creation. To think about the intricate geometric shapes of every coral reef and the color of the fish just testifies to the fact that our God cares about the details! And if He cares about the details 60 feet below the sea, how much more does He care about the details of each of our lives.

Next stop: Haiti!
