Winter Getaway to the Bahamas

Cable beach at Melia

Looking to escape the cold in North Carolina, Jon and I spent a week in the Carribean. Although still winter in the Bahamas, their "snow" is a rain shower. We spent our time in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas which lies on the island of New Providence. Neighboring Paradise Island (where Atlantis is) is accessible via Nassau Harbor bridges or the ferry. The biggest draw for us to visit the Bahamas was the swimming pigs, which can be found in The Exumas, an island chain about 80 miles away via boat. 

Meramec State Park Canoe Trip

I'm catching up on my blog posts and I'm super excited to share the experience I had on the Meramec River with my mom and dogs. Meramec Caverns are approximately an hour outside of St. Louis, MO, and was the location where we reserved our canoe. There were also options to kayak or raft, but with two dogs, we opted for the more reliable of the three choices! We were dropped off at Meramec State Park and finished the trip back at the Meramec Caverns.
