We spent Jan 2-9 on our first family vacation with the Serafin and Knudson clan in St. Martin, on the French side of the island. While we had some concerns about how Will might do on the flights, adjusting to a new time zone, and being away from home, we ended up being pleasantly surprised by how well he did with everything.
This kid knows how to take a vacation!
After being plucked from his crib at 3am for our 6am flight, Will took the morning in stride, sleeping and nursing for most of the 2 flights there. Nestled in Mommy's lap, he was happy as a clam. We were all excited to meet up with Grammy, Dzia Dzia, Aunt Traci, Uncle Brian, and the cousins.
We arrived in the late afternoon and settled in with a very French late lunch of meats, cheeses, baguette. Mmmm. I have to say, we ate and drank well (perhaps too well) for the entire week!
Most of out time was spent at the gorgeous villa the family rented for the week, with a few trips out for meals, time at the beach, and a boat trip from Phillipsburg (capital of the Dutch side of the island).
Will's first time in a pool!
Day at Baie Rouge with the whole family. Will tested out the sparkling blue waters with both Mommy and Daddy, and once he got past the shock of the temperature (and then the taste of salt water) he was just fine! There was a pretty strong undercurrent, so we didn't keep him in for long, and he chilled out in his carseat with Dzia Dzia and baby June.
We had a lovely dinner at a French restaurant right on the shore in Grand Case, on the French side of the island.
Watching the sun rise over Baie Plum, a quick walk from our villa. This is one of two beaches we visited on the trip,both in Terre Basse.
Will had lots of fun playing with his cousin June, who shared all of her fun toys!
