. . . just another Thursday island morning. . .

Danielle and Donyn Came to Play

I get to go on vacation when family comes to visit, and Danielle and Donyn flew in last Monday. We soaked up island life with luxurious breakfasts, a lap around the island with lots of tropical stops, and a boat ride to Nevis where we lunched at an old sugar plantation and walked the paths of a botanical garden. In just the 5 days they were here, Calvin turned from baby who could crawl, to toddling boy trying to stand and walk.
