Every year hundreds of boats come from all over to spend their days in George Town on the island of Great Exuma. Currently there are 300+ boats here, which means there are kids everywhere. It also means there was no way we wouldn't run into other families we

We went back and forth at least 100 times - should we stay or should we go? St. Croix is the largest of the three main islands in the USVI. Not many people we talked to had been there, but the snorkeling was supposed to be pretty cool. In the

Our island hopping through the USVI continues. It was back to St. Thomas for laundry, beach time, hiking, a birthday celebration, date night and lots and lots of friend time (for both kids and adults).
