Headed out to sea in 2007 on the Double D........

February means time for Virgin Gorda and our friends who return each year to Guavaberry Spring Bay where life is s....l...o...w, the dress is very casual, and it's always a good time to snorkel.

Noah Visits CT January 2008

Noah went right for the little wooden boat which was a gift to Jacob almost 12 years ago from Dave's Uncle Bob and Aunt Lois, and has been enjoyed by all of the children.

My Uncle Dave has a new house.

It has lots of wooden floors which make for great car racing.

I even learned to climb the stairs !!

Grammie took me to the Stepping Stones Children's play space.......

This is a gorilla nest.....(who knew????)

Lots of stuff for little kids like me....

You can play on an ambulance.....

The water works are lots of fun!

This guy thinks he's better looking than me - HaH!!

I sure had a busy day!

A little therapy session with Dad and cousin Jessie.

Aunt Josie sure knows how to entertain a guy!!!!

Dad and cousin Jacob are buddies....

I guess I am a very special little boy.........

Maho Bay, USVI December 2007

Jacob (age 11) and I spent an adventurous week on St.John, in the USVI, swimming, snorkeling, playing rummy, reading, and hiking the Reef Bay Trail. We stayed at Maho Bay Camps (http://www.maho.org/) and the stairs from our tent/cottage to the beach numbered 220 !!

The dining pavilion was a favorite spot for happy hour rummy and dinner and visiting with the 4? resident cats......

Our tent came with a resident gecko

A late season tropical depression brought great body surfing possibilites

Jacob discovered a great new underwater world.........

After the wind and rains, our little bay was tranquil.


Evenings were spent watching the resident glass blowers create wondrous things........

The Nat'l Park Service leads our hike in the sub-tropical forest

Jacob thinks this should be an annual affair; I'm not sure I can handle those 220 stairs again! To learn more about this ecotourism spot, I suggest the November 2007 issue of Audubon Magazine.
