A week that just went by way too fast!!
Craig stayed home to have quality time with Gizmo:) and "hold down the fort" while CJ, my two sisters and I were lucky enough to spend a week visiting mom and Paul at thier apartments on St. Thomas and then sailing on thier sailboat the
"Sail Marilee".
After we all arrived we left the apartments and ferried over to St. John to the boat which is kept in Cruz Bay. CJ got her hair completely braided on St. John and to this day still has the braids. (If you get there look up Philomen for your braids she has done CJ's numerous times and they stay in!!). Snorkeling was great, we swam with ramoras, rays, parrotfish, barracudas and so many other types of fish! If you see Becky be sure to ask her about being the "bird whisperer". We visited the world famous Yost Van Dyke http://www.b-v-i.com/JostVanDyke/default.htm"Soggy Dollar Bar" http://www.soggydollar.com/soggydollarbar/and "Foxys" http://www.foxysbar.com/home.html for our Painkillers & Bushwackers. After sailing for a couple of days we ended up back over on St. Thomas staying in the apartments and doing some quick shopping downtown St. Thomas.
We had so much fun- hard to leave!
Already thinking about next summer:)
