Yeah...I've been on a hiatus.
In Barbados.
Jamin had to work, so I went with my family (Don't worry, Jamin didn't get such a bad deal in the end...) Yes, I am crazy to fly with two small children for five (plus) hours in a plane, Yes, we survived (they really were angels) and yes, my hair looked like this the entire time.
I was a little worried when we scrambled into our first taxi and my father thanked the driver with a "Gracias" but alas, we all survived. It was definitely an adventure. I have quite a few pics I wanted to share, so this is the ultimate blog for all you skimmers out there.
Fish anyone? A true taste of Barbadian culture at the local Bridgetown fish market. Yummy. You can find everything here from MahiMahi to flying fish!
My dad with the kids...
Uncle Walt with Aiden.
People LIVE here. Yes, please.
Lobster Alive: The name was morbid to me, but it is one one of the most charming little places on the beach. And the lobster...MMMMMM! Aiden wasn't so sure what to think of the giant lobsters...
Aunt Didi and Emerson! Aiden in a cab.
Just a view from the road, next to the sugar cane fields. I'm seriously considering moving here.
One of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world
Barbados was settled by the British in July 1605, and St. James Church, the oldest church on the Caribbean island, was built in 1628
We went on a daytime cruise to snorkel with sea turtles and a ship wreck. Aiden never got in the water...but the goggles made a priceless shot.
Aiden and my parents on the ship.
Our last day there it rained-But the kids had a great time in the water.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
