After a long day of traveling we have arrived in
Barbados!
Our room/suite area in Port St. Charles is super cute and very beachy. There is an awesome patio off of our room, and each room actually, as well as a harbor/boat dock area. There is a pool and yacht club, and the beach is just at the end of their street. The water is a beautiful light blue (and it's warm!) and the sand is so soft! It is pretty hot and humid- even though it's only about 80 degrees, but I don't care (Brandon may disagree with that). :-)
I plan to read, relax, and maybe go down to the
water later today. I love not having a plan or anything we have to do!!

We went to a seaside restaurant called
Mullins. It was so beautiful! Completely open on the sides with white
curtains, wrought iron chandeliers, and a dark wooden floor. Lunch was amazing
(I enjoyed my first flying fish), although expensive. We enjoyed drinks and
relaxed for a while. There were jet ski rentals right outside and we worked out
a deal. B and I shared 1 jet ski and had an awesome ride! He even toned
it down a bit- although we still had quite an eventful ride. Thanks hubby!!
Each afternoon so far we have had some resting time and today was no exception. It's nice not having much of a plan. I even finished a book! Brandon laughed at me because he finished one, too, yet he only started it the day before we left lol!

Tonight we made our way to the Yacht Club. It's within the Port St.
Charles development. It was so nice- a great outside eating area and pool with
a swim-up bar. We had a poolside drink and swam while we waited for our food.
Such a pretty surrounding and weather! We walked there and back and I
tried to savor the time.

This morning we made our way to the beach just
outside of Port St. Charles. As part of living here (or for us, staying here), when you arrive at the
beach an employee will set up a lounge chair and umbrella for you. My first
mission was snorkeling. We headed to the water and it was quite a bit cooler
than in the afternoon. Yet once we got in, it was amazing! I wasn't even
cold at all. We found a small reef close to the shore and I was able to get
some shots on the underwater camera. Now, while the fish weren't the most
colorful ever, it was great to see so many without venturing far. Brandon was
such a good sport. He gave it a good try and concluded again that snorkeling is not his thing. We lounged and
read for a while- it was so beautiful outside!

Today was a lazy, yet totally great day! We read for a while and then I requested a change of scenery, so we
made our way to the pool area. While walking along the dock there, B picked a
tropical flower off of a tree and put it behind my ear- so cute! We
enjoyed more reading time there- I was glad I chose not to get in the pool as
it started sprinkling. I feel lucky that this was the first rain during the daytime of the trip- it ended up raining
even harder a few hours later.

| Ok, so B was just pretending he was sleeping. What a goof! Our main event of the day was heading into Holetown for dinner. We got all fixed up and went into the main shopping and restaurant center. It was very nice. We were directed down to 2nd St., which we were told had great restaurant choices. We settled on a place called Elbow Room. It is a hot stone restaurant, which means that they bring each person a scalding hot stone in which to cook your own meat and vegetables. The food was great, we enjoyed a bottle of wine and yummy dessert. We had the perfect romantic dinner!! |
