Float-A-Palooza 2013 Recap! Part 2

I hope everyone is having a great St. Patty's Day weekend! No big plans (yet- we'll see what today brings) in this Irish girl's life. Maybe just some corned beef tomorrow, that's about it.

I can't believe that's it's been over a week since we got off the boat, but we still have some recapping to do. If you missed Part1- check it out here! So when we left off, the boat was sailing out to sea for our big adventure.

 

One of the things I really like about this cruise is that it made a stop everyday of the trip. Being that it was a smaller boat then last years, it was nice to be able to get off and explore everyday. Our first stop- Nassau, Bahamas!


Sam had done some research before we went on the trip and he found a place he wanted to check out call the "Queen's Staircase". If you are going to visit Nassau, I would highly recommend checking this place out. It was pretty cool. Here is a link to some information about it.


Not only do you get to see the stairs (which some how we didn't get a picture of) but there is this cool man-made waterfall. Additionally, we were lucky to be stop by Tony, a park worker, who gave a us a get history of Nassau and the "Queen's Staircase". He was super funny and spent about hour talking with us.


Tony, the boys, and the "Bahamas Mama's"!

 

Just a few steps away from the "Queen's Staircase" was the water tower and Fort Fincastle. To visit the fort it cost a whole whopping $1. It wasn't a big place, but for a dollar it was worth it.

The fort sits at the highest point of the island, so we got a pretty cool view and a great place to take pictures. 

 

We could even see the boats from there. After the visit to the fort we walked around... we walked a lot... I mean A LOT! I don't think it would have been so bad if I was wearing my own sandals, but a good friend takes one for the team. After a long fun day, it was time to get back on the boat.


Our next stop... to the beach at Coco Cay!
