Vacation

We had planned a family vacation for awhile now to St. John and we were so excited to be there this summer! We had this trip planned well before we knew we were moving to Saudi! 

It was so exciting because it was the first time Elise and Claire got to see Marissa, Gregory, and Larkin since February. I was so happy to see them pick up right where they left off.

We all met at Ninfas on Navigation which is a staple in the Houston restaraunt world.

Thanks to Alecia, they either had matching or coordinating pajamas and clothes for every single day. Yes, every single day. I didn't even have to pack pajamas because she had all of them for me. This is true...she really does this. 

The kids loved riding on the taxi and in our rental jeep. They thought they were too cool.

There were tons of kitties outside the condos. Every morning the kids went out on the balcony to talk to them and feed them Cheerios.

Our favorite beach in St. John is Maho beach because that's where you can see a lot of sea turtles. 

Our other favorite beach is in the British Virgin Islands. It's where soggy dollar bar is. The water is so clear it's like you are swimming in a pool. You take a boat over and we had lunch there too. They are famous for their "painkiller" drinks.

We had so much fun all together! We were very sad the vacation had to end. 

The girls and I were even more sad because that meant it was time for Josh to go back to Saudi. Luckily, the girls and I get to stay the summer, but he can't take that much time off work. 

He wanted to take the girls to the zoo when it was overcast one day. 

We spent the night in Galveston celebrating our anniversary. We had so much fun!
