Fun in the Sun

We just got back from a spectacular week in the Virgin Islands with good friends.We rented a minivan that we affectinately dubbed the "Blaine Blue Bomber"that our friend drove all over both St. Thomas and St. John. They drive on the left side on roller coaster roads so eric did and awesome job. We went to beach after beach...Magen's Bay, Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Sapphire Beach, Coki Beach. We took a sailboat(The Fury) out to Buck Island to snorkel with sea turtles and Coop and Quinn got to steer the boat. We snorkeled at Coki Beach and saw thousands of fish..even snorkel impaired me managed to don a snorkel mask and see all the fish.Cooper and Quinn are much braver than me..they are snorkeling pros.We bought boogie boards for the kids to use and it must have been the best $40 we spent. We went to fun"beachy" places to eat every night..with beachy names like The Fat Turtle, Shipwreck Bar and Grill, The Greenhouse, and Hook, Line, and Sinker.We went to a canival night at Iggie's Beach Bar where the kids danced to carribean music.We sat out on our balcony and had beers and watched the cruise ships leave port. We enjoyed sunshine and lots of great seafood-fish every night..snapper, mahi mahi, wahoo,grouper-delish! and tropical drinks and Carib beer.We have sand coming out of every suitcase and beach bag but a million pics and memories.
