In the spirit of Christmas, a pair of red and green scooters. 
And I won't be riding any of these two wheeled contraptions - I crashed one when we visited St. Barts back in 1990.
We took a ferry from Atlantis back to Downtown. The ferry was as weathered as the sign.

Expecting beach pictures? If you want to see beach pictures, head over to my personal blog.
In Freeport, we went horse riding through the pine forest, the lush botanical forest and then on to the beach and even in the ocean. I didn't take my camera due to the potential exposure to salt water, subsequently, no pictures. I just enjoyed the ride and scenery.
After horse riding and lunch, we had just a short amount of time to explore Lucaya beach. The cool temperatures meant the beaches were sparsely occupied, but we enjoyed the clear azure water and white sand beach.
Approaching the port as the sun rises:
The "official" beer of Freeport, spotted at lunch [not ours]. It looked refreshing, but it was too cold to be drinking beer.
A sunny yet crisp (only 50degF!) day, we boarded the Carnival Sensation in the afternoon, marveled at the huge atrium in the middle of the ship and went in search of our cabin. Our first thoughts - where are we all going to sleep in this tiny cabin?? I was skeptical. But Scott assured us it would be OK, so we left to explore the rest of the ship.

We set sail as the sun set:
After dinner, we found our cabin with the beds let down and the kids declared - "This is so cozy - we love our room!". 
Tomorrow - Freeport, Bahamas!
While the snow is falling in the Northeast and Midwest, the closest thing I could find here in Florida were these pretty white flowers.
We were fortunate not to be flying towards the big snowy mess in the Northeast. Instead, we headed South to Florida, the start of our warm Christmas vacation.
Our first stop - the Indianapolis airport, where Erica texted her friends and Brian made new friends waiting for our [slightly] delayed flight to Orlando.
We arrived in Cape Canaveral in time for dinner and a dip in the outdoor pool. Hey, it's heated so the kids didn't mind.
Our suite included a whirlpool tub, so the kids enjoyed a huge bubble bath after tiring of the pool. I don't think they understand that a little bath gel goes a long way!
Tomorrow, we'll be transported to Port Canaveral where we'll board our cruise ship headed for the Bahamas!
