Back to reality


We're back! We all had a great time in the Caribbean sun. We learned that vacations with kids are broken down into two daily segments: before nap time and after nap time. So, with that in mind, here's a recap of our adventures:

Wednesday:
We arrived, toured the Rainbow Beach Club (where the Ketrons live), and had a yummy dinner of homemade pizza courtesy of chef Lowell.

Thursday: (as mentioned below)
Before nap time: We played at the pool with a gorgeous backdrop of the ocean.

After nap time: Walked around Philipsburg and ate dinner at the Greenhouse.

Friday:
Before nap time: Playtime at the condo (due to rainy weather).
After nap time: Fun at the beach (Le Galion)! Baby Trey LOVED the waves and the salt water. Chef Lowell prepared awesome shrimp and beef kabobs for dinner.

Saturday:
Before nap time: We headed to Marigot for the open market and lunch at a yummy French bakery. Trey loved watching the pigeons that hung out on the patio!
After nap time: More beach time! This time we headed to Mullet Beach near our condo. Later we had dinner at Pineapple Pete.

Sunday:
Before nap time: Trey had play time with Spence and Everett (thanks Jill and Lowell!) while Mommy and Daddy went on a fun diving trip. Later, Trey tried carrots for the first time. He loved them!
After nap time: More play time at the pool. Lowell cooked up juicy hamburgers for dinner, followed by an impressive Bananas Foster.

Monday:
We all slept in and had a much-needed relaxing morning before heading to the airport (during nap time). :)

Now it is back to school for our little one. Definitely a change of pace from the island life we enjoyed over the long weekend!
