Tuesday was our "All-in-One" water sports day. After having our morning coffee out on the hotel balcony, we boarded a double-decker "party" boat and headed out of the harbor and into the ocean for a four-hour tour of parasailing, snorkeling, jet-skiing and banana boat riding. The boat had lots of people, music, food and drinks.
First, some bon voyage pictures...
On our way out of the harbor, our captain pointed out various celebrities' vacation homes...

 |
| Corinne and Taylor |
Followed by a little snorkeling beside the boat...
 |
| Cameron went ham on the sunscreen. Dracula? |
 |
| Deck time. |
Our boat anchored off a tiny little island where we hung out on the beach, in the water, and went jet skiing. The jet skis were really fast and everyone went crazy on them.
 |
| Brandon...best picture ever. |

 |
| Brandon can't. |

| Corinne can! |
Back on land at the resort, Brandon and Janine went for a walk...
The next day, our last day, the whole gang went down the lazy river together. Part of the river splits off and takes you and your inner tube up a conveyor belt to some cool water slides. We spent several hours finishing off the slides. Then, the girls went to the beach for their last "tanning." Brandon, Janine, Cam and Tara went for a walk around Atlantis and visited the various aquariums,
 |
| A saw fish. |
 |
| A cool dude. |
 |
| Dinner? |
Last night, Brandon captured the full moon overlooking the Atlantis resort. Great ending.
