Caribbean Vacation!!

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:)
**Special thanks to Mom & Paul for everything**

If you are headed to USVI St. Thomas and are looking for a rental apt. Let me know-I'll put you in touch with Mom & Paul one of thiers may be available....

To view more pictures of the trip check out my portrait and scenic galleries on the website.

Last week I came across a meetup group in Tucson called Arizona Photo Events http://www.meetup.com/ArizonaPhotoEvents/ The group is organized by Corinne http://www.modelmayhem.com/DoubletakesByCorinne & http://www.onemodelplace.com/photographer_list.cfm?P_ID=3894 a great lady with incredible energy! Anyway this past Sunday they were having a meetup in the park & a bbq. Sounded like fun so after a little reorganizing we managed to get there for a couple of hours...(We being me and my assistant CJ. She is just amazing ~I don't know what I would do with out her)!!
