June 11, 2016: Grand Bahamas with Mom--Day 3

June 11th: On our second day at the Grand Lucayan Resort, we enjoyed breakfast at Willy Broadleaf Buffet, but it rained all morning. When the clouds cleared, I talked my mom into changing into her new bathing suit (from daughter Jacquie) and coming to the beach with us. She looked adorable in her Bahamas wrap that she purchased yesterday at the local souvenir markets. My mom liked the Hammerheads Beach Bar, where we got our special drinks. She ordered Bourbon on the rocks, and Mike and I enjoyed our fruity drinks and smoothies. We also picked up bakery treats and ice cream at Plantation Cafe on the resort.

It was extremely HOT and muggy this day, but Mom still did not want to go in the ocean




  
I LOVE the beautiful beach! 

  
Wish my Mom loved the beach too!

Mom and Mike are so cute together

  
Look who's in the ocean with me! I had to drag her in, and she only went up to her waist
