For the second week of Flashback Wordless Wednesday, it is the almost the end of January and longing for some much needed warmer weather. I am not a fan of the winter and do love the warm, beach type weather. For that reason, Kevin and I got married in July and went on our honeymoon in the Bahamas. It was truly amazing and I joke many times when things get crazy around here that it is my happy place.
Take a look at a few pictures and I dare you to argue that point with me!!
The View From Our Balcony!!We got to wake up to this view for 7 days and I swear I think this must be what heaven looks like, at least for me!
The Bluest Water I Have Ever Seen In My LIfe!!I admit I was amazed and in love with the color of the ocean water. Being from New York, I had never in my life seen water this blue.
And yes the sun sets in paradise too!!!
Our Friend!!Every Morning when the sun rose, we were greeted by our bird friend. He was so very friendly and would come right up to us. So, unlike the NYC pigeons I had grow up knowing!
One of my favorite pictures of us. Celebrating by going out to dinner in the evening at a fancy restaurant at the resort. The food was delicious and the company was definitely so very enjoyable, too!!
Hope you enjoyed our Bahamian Honeymoon, circa Summer 2006. I will leave you with a funny comment from Lily. When I was going through my photo album with these pictures printed out, she came across a picture of Kevin and I swimming. All you saw was Kevin from the waist up with no shirt on, even though his bathing suited lower half was in the water and hidden, Lily said and I quote, “Daddy is naked!!” Yup, nothing is sacred around here, not even my honeymoon photos!!
And by the way, I am linking this up again to Cyndi at Pictimilitude for her Wordless Wednesday Challenge. Please be sure to stop by her site, too!!

Janine Huldie says
Alexa, if I could go back right now, I would!! Seriously, it is so cold here this week, I would do anything to escape it, but let's face it this would be no hardship, but we be a godsend!! π
erintheirishmama says
I really could use a week at that beach right now! Great pics!
Janine Huldie says
Oh you and me both. Thanks Erin and happy to share!! π
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Julie and we had a few days overcast weather. I had hardly any color and was afraid I would come back looking pasty white and like I hadn't been to the islands. Well, dumb me decided to go without sun block for a bit. 20 minutes later this is what I looked like!! I was never so burnt in my life and even wearing a bra hurt, lol!! π
Dani Ryan says
OMG, we LOVE The Bahamas! What hotel was this??! We've been twice, and I loved everything about it. My favorite memory was on Valentine's Day. We went for a swanky dinner, and then on our way back to our room we stopped at the hotel bar so I could get a glass of wine. I didn't know if I could take the glass back to our room, and when I asked the bartender she looked at me with THAT LOOK and said, "you in The Bahamas, baby, you can do whatever you want". I almost kissed her.
Thanks for the Wednesday morning memory!
Janine Huldie says
My pleasure and we actually got room service that we didn't order delivered to our door at 3 am in the morning on this trip and was told similar when we said it wasn't ours (we are too honest for our own good!!). This was Sandals and loved the all-inclusive package–amazing!! Would love to go back and go to Atlantis and see what that is all about π
Kerry Guptill Kosky says
I am smiling and weeping at the same time…I want to be back in Paradise (which, to me, is any place south of the Mason-Dixon Line)!!
Melanie Chisnall says
Oh wow Janine! Now I know how you feel when I post pictures of the beach here, lol! So beautiful, I'm jealous! I've never been to an island. But seeing your pictures, at least made me feel like I was sort of there…well, a mini mind cation for this afternoon anyway! Thanks so much for sharing. I can understand why you'd want to go back! π
Bill says
Great pics, especially the one of you two smiling in the room. Oh, ain't love grand?
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Bill and so true. We didn't have a care int he world when that picture was taken and would love to have a few minutes to feel like that again π
Cyndi says
I need to win the small-time lottery because I want to go to the Bahamas. Now. Like right now. Now, please? LOL
Janine Huldie says
You and me both. If I win, I will take you a long and if you win you take me. How does that sound, lol!! π
Stacy Harris says
Oh man… this makes me remember our trip to the Bahamas back in 2008. We went with a couple of friends and it was the ultimate blast. And like you said – I have never seen water so completely blue. It truly was like a piece of heaven!
Janine Huldie says
Stacy, we were truly lucky, because even though it was our honeymoon we met up with 3 other honeymooning couple and had a blast with them. So I know what you mean and can relate on that π
Emily says
Beautiful photos and you're right — heaven!! It is 18 degrees as I type this and I want to go to the Bahamas right now!!
Janine Huldie says
Oh I know I just ran out for my weekly chiropractor appointment. Nothing says cold like cold massage cream for upper back massage. Yes a massage is a massage, but seriously too damn cold for just about anything right now!! I want to go to the Bahamas now, too!! π
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Audrey and am so with you on this right about now!!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Kelly and if you ever do come back to NY, I would totally love to meet up with you this time out. Hopefully no more hurricanes come our way to spoil that one. As for Lily, I seriously can't even begin. My dad even said again today that she is just so on the ball. We are going to have our hands full with this one, lol!! π
Kelly S. says
I must know what resort this was? Not that I have money or time for a vacation anytime soon, but this looks like one to visit when I do someday! PS – Nudity is frequent around our house as I'm surrounded by all boys, but good to know girls take note as well!
Janine Huldie says
Kelly, it was Sandal Royal Bahamian. We loved it and it was truly so worth the all-inclusive price tag. Oh, nudity is not only a boy thing, because Emma has been known to sing "Naked Baby" as she is getting in and out of the tub. Seriously, my kids just crack me up sometimes, lol π
Janine Huldie says
Happy to give a reminder of better times weather-wise to come. Please no worries and just so happy to see you. I totally understand and can relate trust me!!
Christina (Tina) Mor says
Lovely photos! Thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More! Amanda doesn't feel the burn on her foot anymore. However, our kitten is now missing, since Tues. One thing after another. π
Janine Huldie says
My pleasure and thank you again. I did see about your kitten this morning on your blog and am praying she returns safely now π
