After completing the second bike trail we both decided we were ready to head on to something new. On our honeymoon we had never taken the opportunity to head over to Serenity Bay and so we knew this is where we were headed next 
I guess both of us had a feeling we weren't going to be in the mood for a swim or snorkel because neither of us had grabbed our swim gear on the way out of the room that morning. However, we were both starting to get very hot so we decided a walk along the edge of the water sounded refreshing.
Even in pictures I cannot believe how crystal clear the water is! We were really enjoying the feeling of the water as the waves hit the sand and all the little fish at the surface. Normally I am a major water girl and would be dying to get out there and swim, but it just wasn't that type of day. That afternoon walking along the shoreline talking about the start of summer was exactly what we both needed. We probably spent about half an hour before I decided that I needed to eat and we started heading over to the picnic area. I had stayed perfectly hydrated with all the water stops along the bike trail, but I realized I had put off eating a little too long and was starting to feel nauseous from it
At first we started to pick up the pace to get to food quicker, but that made it feel worse, so Candi just kept at my speed until we made it back "onto land"
After a quick stop to remove all the sand from our toes we headed to the adults picnic area to eat. Candi helped me dump all our stuff onto a shaded table and let me sit while he went to go make me a plate of food. Normally I'm a "I can do it myself" type of girl, but at this point I was more than grateful for his offer. He quickly brought me a plate overloaded with food, which I picked at until he came back with his plate.
Now, I know that a lot of people rave about the adults only food area compared to the one on family beach. And we definitely enjoyed that it wasn't crowded which made it more peaceful. However, it was extremely smoky from the grills. I'm not sure if this seemed amplified to me because I was already not feeling good, but it definitely wasn't helping. I mostly just ate all the fruit Candi had got for me and just picked at the hamburger before I needed to leave the area due to all the smoke.
At this point Candi was starting to get concerned and decided that I needed to head inside from all the heat. I wanted to argue because I didn't want to leave Castaway Cay, but truly I knew he was right. So we headed over to the to wait for the next tram so we could head back to the ship ....

You will still have a blast 
Congrats on the baby boy! I have one of each and personally I think boys are so much easier than girls! Girls have cuter clothes though. 
Can't wait to hear more! 
All the food was very good and was perfect at filling my belly until dinnertime. After we finished eating we both dozed off to "Where the Wild Things Are" playing in the background. 
It was after midnight after the movie ended and we were both pooped and decided it was time for some fruit from room service and a good nights sleep to prepare for our day in Nassau!
What a cutie! Glad you made your way back to the Dis. It's good to have some mommy alone time every once in a while
