2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 8 & 9 - Barbados and Travel Day
February 4-5, 2009
Once back in Barbados we returned to the Villa for one last day/night before we returned home. We walked the beach and then went down the street for dinner. It was a nice, relaxing end to our trip. The flight home was uneventful and tiring. We're so lucky to have had the opportunity to take this trip.

2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 7 - Dominica
February 3, 2009
Well the day we were in Dominica I was in bed all day with a really bad stomach bug. It was awful. So Ian and Kyle went on a hike to a waterfall. This time Ian took photos so I could see what I was missing. That night we celebrated Ian Sr. and Jo's wedding anniversary with a cake that the boys bought for them.

2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 6 - St. Thomas
February 2, 2009
In St. Thomas, Ian, Kyle and I started the day off with a trip to a butterfly farm. It was amazing. Kyle got to hold several butterflies - which Ian caught. They were all around you. And they were beautiful. Then Ian, Ryan, Shea and Jo went on a parasailing adventure while Ian Sr., Kyle and I took a sky tram to the top of a nearby mountain and watched a bird show. I gave the camera to Ian (and he forgot to take photos while up in the air), so no photos of the bird show. It was pretty cool though: parots riding unicycles on tight-ropes, playing instruments and doing tricks. Kyle really enjoyed it.

2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 5 - San Juan, PR
February 1, 2009
In San Juan Puerto Rico we decided to tour the "El Morro". It was a hot day, I was pregnant and there was a lot of walking. Enough said. Except it was a beautiful view and a nice piece of history to see.

2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 3 & 4 - Antigua & St. Kitts
January 30, 2009
In Antigua the rest of the gang went on a canopy tour while Kyle and I hung out on the ship. I didn't go on the tour, so I don't have any photos. I do have a cute photo of Kyle in a swin suit in our room though that I'll share.
January 31, 2009
We had a great day in St. Kitts. Probably one of my favorite days of the vacation. We had a fun day on the beach, splashing in the water, playing in the sand and laying in the sun. And at the end of the day we were greeted by a cute towel animal.

2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 2 - St. Lucia
These will be long posts as I’m using them as a “diary” of our trip. Check back in a couple of weeks if you want to see the photos that go with the posts as I forgot my camera cable so that I could download the photos.

We woke up the next day at 10:30am when our continental breakfast was delivered to our room. Kyle and I ate that while Ian went up to the “Mediterranean” dining room to have a buffet breakfast. I then got Kyle and myself cleaned up and dressed and when Ian got back we headed off of the ship.
Ian’s parents and brothers had already left the ship, ad we didn’t really know what there as to do on the island. We decided to rent a taxi and go to a nearby beach. Of course I hadn’t brought along a bathing suit for Kyle or I, so we just stripped him down to his shirt and diaper and he and Ian played in the water for a while. Another family enjoying the beach offered up their pair of water wings and donut-raft for us to use while they went to go grab a bite to eat at the restaurant on the beach. After the swim we changed Kyle's diaper, put hs shorts back on, and I took of one of my tank tops (I was wearing two) and we put it on Kyle. He looked like he was wearing a tank dress!
We had asked the taxi that had dropped us off to pick us up at 2:30pm, so at around 2:15pm, after unsuccessfully trying to grab a snack from the restaurant ourselves, we headed to our pick-up spot. We went back to the ship, grabbed a buffet lunch in the “Mediterranean” dining room and then I put Kyle down for his nap. When Kyle woke up it was time for dinner again. This was supposed to be a formal dining night so we met up with Ian’s parents and brothers in the “Mediterranean” dining room for a buffet dinner instead. After killing some time we headed to the theater for the early show (8:45pm Caribbean time). It was a variety show with dancing and singing that Kyle really enjoyed. Then it was back to the room to order Kyle’s “dinner” from room service. I went to the “Mediterranean” dining room for some ice cream while Ian out Kyle to bed.
