Saint Lucia: Day 1 Traveling

It's vacation time! And guess what - our hotel has wifi! It's a little ify, so I'm not sure if it'll be reliable all of the time, but at least I can check email, and show a few pictures from the day. 

Last night Grady, Marissa & Murphy came to stay with us at our house so that it would be easy to take Maverick & Murphy to Willow Creek the next day, and quicker for them to get the airport in the morning. This turned out to be a great idea and worked really well. 

This morning we all got up, got ready, dropped the puppies off and headed to the airport to board Air Anadarko! Talk about traveling in style :) It was wonderful!

On our trip we have Meemaw and Papaw, my parents, Grady & Marissa, and me, Bryan and Clara. It's a full crew.

Bryan was asked to sit up front in the jump seat during take off, and he was stoked about it!

Awesome!
It took about 4 1/2 hours to fly here. To pass the time we played, explored, ate, took a very brief siesta (shoot), and stared out the window.

Snoooooooze
Gorgeous view over the Carribean
Yumm, cake pops

So much to explore

Look Daddy!
Upon arrival we boarded up the bus and drove an hour or so to get to the other side of the island to our hotel, the St. James Club at Morgan Bay. It's really nice and has a gorgeous view! We settled in, dropped our luggage off and went down to find some dinner. Clara made friends with the waitstaff and any nearby diners. I wonder what gene she inherited to make her so friendly?

After dinner we finished up the evening with a drink at the bar (minus pregnant Marissa and underage Clara, of course) and went to bed. Clara was EXHAUSTED and fell asleep within minutes after her bath.

Sleeeepy baby and gorgeous sunset
Cheers!
Hopefully we all get a great night's sleep tonight so we're ready for fun tomorrow!
