Love it!
Look at those colors, just breath taking.

this Bahamian man lives on his boat and every morning he goes out and catches fresh conch. then makes conch salad all day long. still out there at 11 pm. amazing!
Such a comfy room
and they sweetly upgraded us to a harbor view room!
our view
We've gone to the Bahamas in June before, but never run into it being prom week! It was soooo much fun to watch! I started planning my evening around what time the kids would be showing up. the theme for this school was black and white. I've never seen a prom with a theme before, but it looked so nice! The kids were so classy. Unlike in the states where you try to find the most skimpy dress you can and have everything hanging out, these girls looked so beautiful and classy.
Hundreds of people come from all over the island to watch. As a Hilton guest we got to stand up close and see all the couples as they walked by. They were so friendly and polite. We stood right by the judges! JUDGES! can you believe that?
you get points for different things, like how you arrived, your dress, how he acted. amazing!
It's a show to see who can put on the best show as they arrive. The hotel manager said some parents will spend thousands of dollars on this night! Some let balloons up into the air as they got out of the car, some threw candy like they were at a parade, one even threw MONEY! the crowd went wild for that! I was so lucky that I din't have to be in the crowd~ i would have died! Some kids have an outfit they arrive in and then a different one for the dance! Holy cow! It was insane and so much fun all at the same time!
They rent amazing cars! That truthfully, I din't know they would have on the island!
{when you bring a car to the island you have to pay at minimum 5,000. more if the car is worth more, then they charge you 10-15% of the value of the car.}
After we watched the arrivals for a while we walked over to Senior frogs for some dinner.
This DJ really knew how to pump up the crowd.
{I'm sure all the alcohol they were taking in helped...hence the woman on the stage who probably regretted her behavior the next day...}
But the food is good & it's the only restaurant open after 8 pm. So if you stayed at the beach till the sun was down...this was your dinner option:)
The moon in the palm trees out on our beach was gorgeous!
Us with the frog:)

I'm jealous but so glad you got to have your own vacation!
I'm feeling the sun and warmth and sand in my toes vicariously through your post.
