This is a big week for birthdays! A special birthday shout out goes to Jenny Beauchesne (A.K.A Super Sister-in-Law)- we’re thinking of you today and wishing you a lovely day for celebration.
So, where was I when we last checked in? Oh yea, Chris had just saved the day with fixing the plumbing for our buildings. Turns out the pool guys never shut off the water while refilling the pool, so it was overflowing for hours. Nice! Anyway, we had a lovely night out with our first dinner of Mexican food since we got here and then went to the Caribbean Saloon to check out a Pearl Jam cover band called “Once”. They were pretty good, but they came on about an 1 and ½ late at 11:30pm and, with us not being the night owls we used to be, we left pretty early in. Red Bulls couldn’t even give us wings that night! We had a pretty lazy Saturday and finally made it to one of our favorite beaches in the afternoon (Lindquist Beach).
On Sunday, we took the ferry over to St. John and meandered around the island for a while, ending up at Cinnamon Bay Beach. Such a lovely beach and a beautiful place to spend the afternoon! The homeless person that was camped out behind us seemed to agree. We think he was homeless, but he had quite the nice set up on the beach nestled in some palms. With his airplane nips, suspicious smelling “cigarettes” and his snorkel gear, this potentially residentially challenged individual seemed to truly be living the “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” lifestyle.
Other than that, there is not too much new to report. We had our second weekend in a row of ordering Pizza Amore and my waistline has acknowledged it. But it’s soooo good. Our appliances came in last week and we have narrowed down our countertops, so things are moving right along.
I apologize about the photos getting fewer and fewer, but it’s only because we want to feel more like locals than tourists, so the camera has been staying at home more often. However, when we get outside of the norm, we’ll be sure to take it with us.
Have a great week!!!!
