Nassau

Our cruise stopped in both Nassau and Freeport Bahamas. The best weather of the entire trip was our day in Nassau.   
My parents with all the grandkids. 
We all explored the Straw Market where the boys practiced their bartering skills. (The Caboose was terrible, BB#2 was pretty good!)  Here my brother Glenn is trying to negotiate a custom carving from this guy. 
Big Boy #1 with the Bahama's flag.
Having been raised in Rochester and then settling in Denver, it was kinda weird for me to see a giant Christmas tree decorated and placed between two palm trees.
The boys all enjoying the water.
Love it!
 My parents.
My dad is like a little kid every time he gets near the water. 
Aunt Caroline enjoying a little relaxation. 
A school of angelfish swam by us and we were able to keep them around for a bit by feeding them Fruit Loops.  It was super cool!
Aww...
Even though it was the best weather of the trip, it was still kinda cold.  I got in the water enough to feed the fish, but after that I spent the day trying to find a nice spot of sunshine. 
My little snorkeler.
Gary feeding the fish. 
Enjoying the water
It was a nice relaxing beach day, but I do need to add that I will never trust another Bahamas taxi driver.  We were planning on a different beach, but the cab driver lied to us, told us that beach was under construction and then drove us to this beach instead.  Even though we confirmed what she said with a nearby security officer, it wasn't true.  Deal was she got us to take her cab instead of the bus, making about $100 from the lot of us.  Whatever.  It was still a fun day and the beach had cool fish and nice waves.

I think you mean "Nassau" not "Nausea". "Nausea" is what Gary and Caroline were experiencing. Apparently. I will email Dom and recommend "Nauseous in Nassau" as a band or bogus.
