The Atlantis Resort - Paradise Island, Bahamas

Royal Towers at Sunset                    Royal Towers at Night        

We stayed in the Royal Towers at The Atlantis Resort.  The grounds were absolutely amazing!  We could not have asked for more beautiful weather.  Our room TV was a flat-screen, wall-hanging plasma.                

  Billy with the fire stick down his throat! Brave!!! She told him to lean back, open his mouth and don't move!   Billy dancing with fire on his head.  Celebrating our anniversary!!!

This was from our dinner at Fathom's.  Billy breathed a fire stick and I danced - Bahaman style!

Dancing Queen!  Karen and the dancer  Stuffed Karen!!

Don't Jump!       The first night, we walked over this bridge and had no idea there were sharks underneath us! Good thing that I did not know!    Waterfall to the side of the wobbly bridge.

This wobbly bridge takes you over the barracudas and hammerheads (baby and daddy, below).

This was a flying fish statue with amazing detail on each fish. We watched the documentary on them being made.  This was the lagoon where you could kayak and snorkle.  Lagoon, again at sunset.

The first picture is a flying fish statue.  The other two pictures show the lagoon at sunset.

Double waterfalls facing the lagoon. Hard to believe this was all man made!  Karen, Lagoon  Karen, Atlantic Ocean

Glass sculpture of the sun. They had 20 seconds to stretch each glass piece to the right length. Otherwise, it would have broke!   Glass sculpture of the moon.
