Happy Retirement Daddy!

2nd Bday 002

I was so glad we were able to make it to Daddy’s retirement party, it was such a special day.

2nd Bday 004

The President of the bank spoke about all the things Daddy has done for the community and all the things he has done for the bank.  They presented him with a few gifts and he was able to say a few words.  The Mayor was also present and spoke about how much Daddy has done over the years for Grant County and made January 27th Roy Baxley day in Sheridan.

Atlantis and The Best Dinner

01440118

One day while on vacation we bought a day pass to go see Atlantis. It was very beautiful and very expensive.  The suite in the archway is $25,000 a night and there is a 4 night minimum…yeah we are staying there next time we go…us and about 1000 of our closest friends:)

Town and the Island

01440052

Late one afternoon we went to downtown Nassau.  We went through the straw market, a few shops, and ate at Senor Frogs.  The cruise ships were coming in behind us.

The Sandals has a private island. It is just a quick 5 minute boat ride and it makes runs every hour. It has a restaurant, spa, pool, bar, and plenty of lay out spots.

I took this pic as we were leaving the island one day, but when you arrive someone is there waiting on you with drinks:)
