We must have had a great time!
We're back from vacation. What a week! We spent it in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. It was so awesome. I want to go back. Now. For ever. Sigh....
It was a much more SCUBA centric vacation than we anticipated. That's not a bad thing, just an observation. DS the elder got his Open Water certification on his 13th birthday. Boy, I wish MY parents had gotten me certified on my 13th birthday! DS the younger had problems with his ears, so he's one dive away. We'll get him finished up in the next couple of weeks up here. Not as pretty, but at least he'll be done. I'll post pictures from Cane Bay when we get them developed and transferred onto disk. In the meantime, we did have an unexpected guest in our room all week:
What a narcissist!
And the above water wildlife was awfully cute, and gracious about posing:
The day we arrived, a huge wedding took place at the resort. I didn't get any pictures of the ceremony. There were more attendants than there were guests, and the theme was Candy. The bridesmaids all carried bouquets of candy bars instead of flowers. And they all wore different colored gowns. It was so much fun to watch!
One last shot for right now. This was a restaurant on the road from the hotel into Christiansted. If we had another couple of days there, we probably would have stopped in for dinner. The sign was enticement enough. It made us laugh and smile every time we went by.
More later. Right now I have to do laundry and grocery shopping. Reality. Bleah...
Happy diving!

Looks like a fabulous time was had.
Don't you just love the signs? I took pics of signs when I was in the US Virgins in Feb, ... what do you suppose Pickled Greek is?
I *love* the West Indies! Glad you had a great time!
Welcome back! Glad you had a good time!!!!!
Thanks for sharing some of your vaca pix. Wish I was there!
You know you had a good vacation when you are broke and hung over. Actually remembering that vacation is a bonus! An Apron made with pictures of funny restaurant signs would be a great gift...hmmm...must write that idea down...
I'm with you, Marji..what IS Pickled Greek(besides that scene from Zorba where Anthony Quinn is drunk and dancing?)? But this all looked just marvelous. I'm not a huge beach person - too much 'sand in the sandwiches along with sunburn' in my younger years, but this looks like definitely something I could get used to!
prickeld greek? mmhh I need to ask my in-laws about that since they've been to Greece a couple of times...
Glad you had a great time and welcome home!
Welcome back - it's always so hard to come back to reality after a great vacation.
Welcome home!
Glad to see you back and that you had a great time!
Great pictures, especially the wedding shot! Glad you had a such a nice time. I'm jealous of your diving time. We're heading out on our caribbean vacation this weekend, but alas no diving is planned. :(
Welcome back! Your pics are making me wish my scuba vacation to Belize were now instead of in 2 weeks! Congrats on getting the kiddos certified, now they can join in on the fun!
That's so funny. I just got back from St Croix two weeks ago! Isn't it wonderful!? My MIL (who used to live there) told me that Soon Come and For True are real St Croix-isms. I'm glad you had such a great time!
