Wednesday St Marten 3/18/09

Today was a very busy day. Joe left early in the morning for deep sea fishing with some of the Ribar guys. It wasn't a very productive excursion-they didn't even get a bite-either on their line or to eat. The boat charter, wouldn't feed them lunch because they didn't catch anything. They weren't very happy.Elliott and I hung out on the ship and he went into the pool for the first time. He met another baby on the ship-10 month old William. His mom didn't bring a stroller with on the cruise (I thought that was kind of silly, I bet she had strong arms by the end of the week.)

We went on a shore excursion to Orient Bay in the afternoon. Elliott is wrapped in the Moby, while we are waiting for the bus to go to the beach.

Elliott got a really bad heat rash while wearing his "sun shirt" on Monday. You can see the outline of the shirt here. He was such a trooper though. He was pretty happy as long as we kept him cool.
Hanging out with Aunt Katie.Uncle Kyle is showing off some crack he found on the beach.

Orient Bay is a topless beach, connected to a nude beach. While taking a walk down the beach, we saw the eighth wonder of the world and boy was it big. I am not exaggerating either-almost down to his knees and it was tanned.

Joe ended up joining us at the beach after his crappy morning of fishing. We had a good time on the beach with all the rum punch we could drink.

All I have to say is that Wednesday nights dinner was VERY interesting and not a lot of people made it all the way through dinner.
