Heather Tony and Melina ventured out for some Groceries. After they returned we made a trip to the Harborside Resort pool and played until the kids got tired. We had some food poolside, but it left something to be desired compared to our experience at the Westin Cancun. The situation must be different in the Atlantis backard?
Tony and I made our maiden trip to explore the many waterslides of the Atlantis while Melina and Kylie were napping. We discovered the Power Tower and all it’s many inner tube slides, as well as The Abyss (an enclosed speed slide that dumps you in a cavern). Before heading back, I was able to talk Tony into trying out the famous Speed slide on the Mayan tower… it drops you through a tube in a shark filled pool. Sorry no pictures of this stuff today.
For Dinner tonight, we chose to give Anthony’s Grill a try. The food was okay. It was definitely more expensive than Johnny Rockets, but not by much. The highlight was the live music featuring a lone guitar player playing mostly well known songs, but at much slower Bahamian tempo (call it jazz). Initially, it was kind of annoying trying to identify the song, but after awhile and hearing more familiar songs I really began to appreciate this guy. Though no one else was applauding, our table would make the effort to show him some appreciation. It’s got to be hard to play when you don’t get audience feedback.
Sisters and cousins.

Post nap on the patio. The weather sure is nice (compared to Portland).
Finding amusement at the dinner table. One thing Traci is really good at is packing her "bag of tricks" in the diaper bag. There is always an assortment of toys. Here Kylie and Melina are playing with one of the new "classic" toys... the "Slinky".
And as you can see, having a good time at Anthony's Grill.
