Family Cruise: Day 4

Today we stopped in St. Kitts.  This island was our families least favorite of all our stops...although still an amazing day.  It could have been what we choose to do or the fact that Tropical Storm Karen stirred up the waters not making them very clear on this island.

We started the day by searching for sea glass.  The Weninger's are huge sea glass hunters and have an amazing collection.  Mom was super excited for this.  It turns out that the grosses beaches have the best sea glass and we found a gross beach with a TON of sea glass.  There were huge pieces everywhere and some people were in heaven.  Dad and I were not in heaven.  It was super hot and sunny and there was no way we were getting in the gross water.  After a short time he and I headed back to the ship to swim in the pool until everyone met us on the ship for lunch.  The rest of them had a blast finding tons of sea glass and even marbles.  Mom was in heaven with her treasures!

After lunch on the ship most of us headed out to the island again and went to Shipwreck beach bar for the rest of the afternoon. The sand on the beach was kinda black and the water was not clear.  It felt like a lake to me and I just was not really into it.  After some coaxing, I finally got in the water and had lots of fun.  We had a tropical drink at the beach bar and then headed back to the ship.

When we got back on the ship we headed to the wave pool where I was able to learn how to knee board.  It was so fun!

That night we had our normal dinner in the dining room where Willow and I ordered what became our nightly tradition of "escargot minus the escargot" (although they always brought it with the snails) and we dipped our bread into the yummy garlic butter!

We were then in for a hilarious and intense performance by a crazy mens group from Spain.  It was hilarious and we were right in the front row for all the crazy and even had sweat dripped on us numerous times!  HA!
















Love,
