Castaway Cay

Disney has their own private island in the Bahamas called Castaway Cay. We were here on Tuesday of our cruise, and had a great time enjoying the scenery, the water and just being out in the sun. I went snorkeling with Susana's brother Tony, his son Antonio, and her other nephew RJ. It was a blast...so many cool fish to see, and Disney has "sunk" a ton of items to attract fish as well as to keep the snorkelers occupied.




An absolutely beautiful view of the sun breaking through the clouds at Castaway Cay





View of the ocean, beach and palm trees....makes me wish I was still there or that I could be one of the full time residents of the island.







Another view of the sun breaking through. There had been a little bit of rain off and on throughout the day; however, the last hour or so of our time on the island was interrupted by a small tropical storm. To this Washingtonian it was nothing...but they thought it was bad enough to kick everyone out of the water and beach. But look how beautiful it is once the rain is gone and the sun is shining!





This is a view of the "sunken" mast in the snorkeling lagoon. We snorkeled out past there looking for the sunken Mickey Mouse mast head. It was a blast snorkeling for the first time.




Me and Susana at Mount Rustmore









Me getting ready to go snorkeling for the very first time. This was probably one of the best things I did on vacation. It was so cool to be swimming just a few feet above hundreds of fish swimming together. It really made me see how much God has created, and how cool he created the animals. Awesome experience, I can't wait to go snorkeling again.
