Weekend Re-Cap

Agricultural Fest


Well, we did not go on any of our grand adventures this weekend. We had decided on a third option, Tortola, in the BVIs, which would have been an overnight trip. But, when we got up bright and early on Saturday to catch our ferry, it was pouring, pouring, pouring. In checking our islands forecasts, all islands were supposed to be like that until this Wednesday. So, we decided to stay home and work on the bathroom. However, mid-morning weather turning for the better, so we made our way to check out the west and north end of St. Thomas, since I had not been there before and we were directed to a couple of places.



The first place we tried to find was a beach known as Stumpy's, which is supposed to be hard to find and very locally known (meaning few tourists and more often than not a beach to ourselves). Well, true to what we've been told, it is hard to find and we have yet to find it. We did stumble upon an agricultural fair that is held annually and we were told it was pretty cool to check out. It wasn't all that great, but an interesting side track. Then we went off to Hull Bay, another beace we were told about that has a restaurant/bar and plays music on Sunday nights. I was a nice little beach, but we decided that we can get the same atmosphere and food at our Bolongo Bay beach, just a short walk from our doorsteps.



Finally, we parked ourselves at Magan's bay for a bit and enjoyed the view and the atmosphere- it is a beautiful beach. Then back to our nest and into the pool!



It was a lovely casual Saturday! Sunday was spent with Chris in the bathroom doing some demolition and putting in venting and a lot of grunt work. I dutifully stood nearby on call. Hopefully next weekend we will visit Tortola and put this bathroom stuff behind us!



As for my working week, my job brings me on an excursion to Jost Van Dyke on Friday. Sounds like I'll get to check things out first before Chris and I make it there on our own. Work has not given me too many hours this week, so I hope to let them know that I am available for more hours. If that doesn't work, I will be knocking down some more doors. I have not yet heard from the Wedding Coordinating position and am beginning to think that might not work out. Oh well! Perhaps I am really, really not meant to coordinate weddings. I should take this as a sign...



I hope everyone enjoys their week!
