Today we decided to be tourists and signed up for a full day tour. We started at a waterfall, followed by a chocolate factory, rum distillery and ended at a national park. The tour pretty much took us around the entire island and to places we haven't been

Saturday we made good on a deal we had with Emma and went back to the waterfall she couldn't swim in when she hurt her foot. She was one very happy girl. They spent hours jumping and swimming, we had lunch and then they spent more hours jumping

We probably went to 1 (maybe 2) farmer's markets before coming to Grenada. Here we know the farmer's market schedules, who has the best stuff, when the lady sells the juice out of her van and have been to many roadside stands for fresh produce. We&

Our friends leave tomorrow, so we decided for their final day in Grenada it was only appropriate to take them out on a day sail. We sailed for a couple hours, then grabbed a mooring ball near the beach so we could swim for a while before heading back to

It was a beautiful day to relax at the beach and pool. Fun facts for Austin: Grenada has over 45 beaches, and by law all beaches in Grenada are public. Give Olivia some sand and a bucket and she can play all day. Well... we tried and failed miserably at

Our first stop this morning took us to the House of Chocolate. Emma has been wanting to go here for weeks. It is a boutique, cafe and mini-museum all about the history of chocolate. Fun fact for Austin: Cacao trees were first introduced in Grenada in 1714 by the French.

I would use an expletive there... but we are trying to keep this site family friendly. It all started out like any other day. We dropped our mooring ball and headed into a marina for the next week while our friends are visiting. We loved being on the mooring ball

Wednesday mornings is the market at the marina. There are people selling homemade crocheted goodies, fruits, vegetables, eggs, homemade pesto, homemade jams, fresh juice, meat and baked goods. It gets busy with all the cruisers, so you have to get there early or they run out of the good stuff

The girls and I had a bit of a slow morning while Braden was searching for more toilet parts. We were out of eggs, milk and waffles, so we decided to treat ourselves to a girls brunch. Afterward it was back to work. Today was deck scrubbing and cushion cleaning

If you read Braden's post you know that Wednesday was our toughest day yet. We've done this sailing thing before, so we knew there would be bad days along with the good ones. Thursday we took it a little easy to regroup. Braden found the parts

We're trying to mix in fun days with the work days. Moving day was a pretty big work day, so it was time for a beach day. First... lunch with fancy drinks. This beach was high on my list because it is supposed to have calm water and

After 2 weeks in Grenada the boat was finally in good enough shape for us to move aboard. But first... one last breakfast at the cute little pastry shop at our resort. Braden had to make two trips to the boat because our rental car couldn't hold all
