Sorry it's taken me so long to get these pictures posted of our trip to St. Thomas! I know there's a ton of pictures, but I actually had a bunch of other cute ones I wanted to post, so believe it or not, these are just a few of them. We went with my Mom & Benton and Chris & Kajsa. We had so much fun on our trip and Jack was such a great little traveler. He slept for almost the entire flight of each leg between Nashville, Miami, and St. Thomas. We got him in the pool for his first time and he loved it! Well, the very first time he didn't love it too much, but after that it was great. Apparently you're not supposed to put sunscreen on babies under 6 months, and since he was 5 months old on the trip, we decided to purchase him a SPF swimsuit and hat. Poor thing, he looked like he was wearing a wet suit in the pool! But it was actually really cute...The other pictures are of Jack snuggling with his Mimi (one of his favorite pass-times!), him cracking up as we are about to go down to the beach, and a beautiful rainbow we woke up to one morning that was stretched out over Charlotte Amalie and the ocean in front of our balcony.
You can also see a picture of some of the local inhabitants on St. Thomas. These iguanas were everywhere! Anytime I would get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would have to turn a small light on because I was afraid that one would somehow get into our room and be sitting there waiting for me to trip over it in the dark. I know...I am delusional!
There's a picture of all of us from our last night on the island at a great restaurant called Oceana. Obviously Jack was ready for bed and not enjoying having his picture taken!
We took the ferry over to St. John one day and everybody but Jack and I went snorkeling while we were at Trunk Bay. The picture of Trunk Bay is the one where you can see people swimming in the water. (I still haven't figured out how to put comments next to the appropriate pictures!) The beach was really beautiful so he and I sat in the shade under a palm tree and he took a nap. The picture of the beach with the small pier jutting out into the ocean was the view we saw every day from our balcony.
We are finally beginning to adjust to life back in the real world. It snowed here this weekend while Jim's sister was here, but unfortunately we forgot to take any pictures so you'll have to just enjoy these sunny beach photos for the time being.

This may post twice but in case it didn't post at all:
The first photo I think Jack looks like you but I think he looks like Jim in all the other photos. I know it was a fun trip but I'm glad you're back to Nashville now!!!
I love that rainbow picture! Awesome. It looks like you guys had a blast! (P.S. I didn't know that about the sunscreen.)
Looks like you had fun! I"m dying to have weather warm enough to get a bit "sun kissed"! Lets meet up, get your sis and we'll set a date!
The pictures are great! I LOVE that rainbow one....you know all of you saw that and I missed it!
We had fun didn't we??? I found some old pictures today of our whole family in Hawaii when Maggie was the same age as Jack was on this trip and it was so funny how much they looked alike in some of the pictures....the ones in which they were grinning especially. It was fun to see some cousin resemblance!!!
