The Happily Ever Afters of the Skalons: Bahamas Trip with Friends!

Last summer we started planning a couples trip with our dearest friends, Jessica and Kris Jones, and Mr. James Murphy. Well...lets be honest, "We" didn't start planning this trip...Jess and I started planning the trip and a few weeks ago we finally got to go on it! We have always talked about taking a "big" trip together but ever since the kiddos have come along, trying to find time to take vacations that didn't include the kids seemed next to impossible. I think we all knew if we never pulled the trigger and booked the trip...years down the road, we'd all be sitting in our rocking chairs still talking about taking a trip! :)

This summer marks the 5 year wedding anniversary of both Duke and I and Kris and Jessica so that seemed like as good of an excuse as any to hit the road, or in this case...the ocean!!! So a few weeks ago, we left early Friday morning and headed to the Bahamas!!! It was soooo beautiful and we had such a great time doing absolutely nothing! Truly, we did NOTHING!!! We did however eat like kings (and queens), drink lots of fun girly drinks (Okay...the guys drank "men" drinks), bake in the sun, laugh our heads off and make some amazing memories.

Here are some of our pictures from the trip:

First night on the boat, so excited to be on vacation and still pale! :)

The islands of Nassau:

The beautiful island of CoCo Cay...we truly thought about missing the boat back and just staying here...

The guys enjoying being well....themselves...

Two of the awesome people we went on this trip with...Kris and Jessica Jones...Happy 5 years guys! (Just a small note...Kris and Duke were roommates when him and I started dating so we have come SO far with these two! Believe me when I say, SOOOO far! Right Jess?)

The other awesome couple we went with...James and Liz! We are all so thrilled that James has found such a wonderful person as Liz and we all ADORE her!
