So--onto the trip recap! On this this day we headed into the town called Charlotte Amalie which is pretty tortisty because it's a port for giant cruise ships, but we wanted to check it out anyway.
The roads there were so twisty and mountainous that I almost immediately felt sick in the taxi cab and had to ask the driver to pull over--embarrassing!! Luckily, he took pity on me and drove really carefully for the rest of the trip.
Here is the view from atop one of the nausea-inducing peaks--you can see a HUGE ship out there:

Another view from way up of something called the 99 Stairs--but really there are 103 stairs--go figure!

We did some shopping in a fun outdoor market but I'm not showing any pics because I'm in all of them and look gross. The kids all bought t-shirts and fun shell necklaces and I got Pickle a cute tie-dyed dress.
We stopped for lunch at a great place called Cuzzins with lots of delicious food like fried plantains, curried conch and something called fungi which is mashed-up okra and corn meal. Also--I had a mango margarita!

It looks like a wonderful place and fun was had!
Now I am jealous. What a lovely time you all had. Can't wait to see more.
what an awesome vacation. looks like so much fun!
Your kids look so happy!
Welcome back! I have missed you! What a great post! I am envious! Great pictures - it looks like you all had a great time. Got room for me next time?
aahhh - there are all those smiling faces!
So do they always have to pull tables together for you all? I noticed that in both dinner pictures! :)
The water looks so amazing in those pool shots! Still so jealous of your fabulous vacation!
Cute picture of the group in the pool! Sounds like everyone had a great time, though I'd be like you and would have had to ask the driver to pull over. I get motion sickenss as well. Not fun!
Of course Pickle fell asleep, not enough bacon!
Poor kid.

I have to admit that I'm jealous of your wonderful family vacation!!!
How fabulous! I have been there a couple times (on cruises) and it is so beautiful!
Sounds like you had a grand time!
You have such a beautiful family. I can't believe how much Pickle is changing. She is losing her baby "chub" and is becoming a little girl...no more baby. :(
