The Bahamas! First Port

Nassau!  

One destination point was the casino and the beaches beside it.



The ride through the city was so colorful! Blues abound!  


 Just outside the casino was the lobby of the hotel

A large sculpture at the entrance to the casino was beautifully
lit with blue lights through the crystals.


A Chihuly was brilliantly lit by the skylight!

Nice Shadows!  For more great shadows see
Shadow Shot Sunday 2


 At the straw market!

 It was gorgeous!

 My daughter and her children were loving every minute of the visit!

Father and son sharing Conch Fritters! 



The walk  back to the ship from the straw market was beautiful!


 The ship itself was breathtaking.  We boarded the Carnival Splendor, it was next 
bound for The Virgin Islands!

I love the shadows and colored pillars in photo 2. These were fun to contrast to ones I just posted of the French Quarter in New Orleans.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
