I vote a Caribbean boat trip to the British Virgin Islands every Christmas Eve! This year, we did just that. Our friend Adam's brother and sister-in-law where visiting from San Diego and we all decided to charter a boat for the day. It was chill and full of fun. We went to Tortola, Norman Island for snorkeling and lunch, Sandy Spit, and ended the day at Jost Van Dyke. Wells is obsessed with anything that moves and was so stoked about being on a boat. I think, this was his favorite Christmas "present" besides his fireman outfit. Poppy "went out of the country" for the first time and on her visit non-ferry boat ride. She loved it. Besides dealing with Wells wanting to walk around the boat in choppy waters, the kids were so well behaved. Poppy never let out a peep. And we managed Wells's wiggle's with snacks.
Both kids napped on board while we stopped to snorkeled. (And everyone said amen!) Wells loved playing on each beach with his friend Isla. Both kids were great being transported from boat to shore when we anchored out. Poppy did especially well with her float in the rough waters going ashore to Sandy Spit.
Sandy Spit is magical. It is a wee bitty island in the middle of gorgeous turquoise caribbean waters. It was the only place we had never been before and probably one of my favorites now!
It was the best way to spend out Christmas Eve this year!!
