Bahama Trip - Day 2

Today was another great day to be in the Caribbean! The weather was beautiful. I woke up early than I wanted to, headed downstairs for a quick breakfast and then made my way to the gym for a workout. I will be running another 5K in less than 2 weeks so I really needed to exercise on this trip.  To be honest, I feel a little less guilty eating bad when I work out that day. I know that's not the point of exercise but some times it gets me through.

After my work out, I went back to the room and skyped with the girls on the computer. It seems that they are having a blast with Nana and Grandad and I have nothing to worry about back in NC - that makes my heart happy.

I met up with my mother-in-law at one of the 11 pools and we enjoyed a relaxing morning sitting and talking and reading our novels.. My mother and father-in-law always go to the Zaxby's conference trips as well - it's a great time to have with them once a year.

Well, I could go on describing every event of the day but I will just end with the biggest one I can think of.

Today I conquered the Leap of Faith water slide!

Let me just say that peer pressure is a powerful thing! I would have NEVER gone on this ride if I hadn't been shamed into doing so, or the fact that I willingly walked to the top with my own two feet - what was I thinking.  It's a 60ft almost vertical drop through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon. By the way, I didn't see the sharks because my eyes were shut so tightly for the entire 4 second ride! I made it to the bottom only to have water floating in my head and the biggest wedgie known to man but surprisingly I still had my voice. I was sure I had left it halfway up the ride - I feel sorry for anyone that heard my screams and was back at the top a little hesitant about the ride themselves!

Anyway, here is my picture - I was so proud of myself! Can you tell?
