St Croix

So here we are in St. Croix! We had to take three flights to get here, (that smelt like Urine...Seriously we think someone peed in all the air conditioners as a joke. Every time the plane would start up everyone would start to gag. It was disgusting, but not as bad as the time there were cockroaches surrounding my feet on a flight to Hawaii.....) but we are having a blast! Like I mentioned in our last post we are meeting family here from all over the states, so it has been super fun to catch up with aunts, uncles, and meeting a new cousin (the baby in the picture below).

The coolest part about the trip is we are staying in a WINDMILL! yeap, you heard us, a wind mill. Back in the 17th century the house use to be a Sugar Cane factory....Well now it is a multi-million dollar resort house for large families like ours.

It over looks the ocean and there are 6 different rooms randomly placed on the property. Its kinda weird because the house is set up so you feel like you are outside, but really you are inside (lots of windows and openings). It rains once a day here but the weather has stayed over 90. Mark is fried (like a marshmallow that has been turning on its coat hanger for way to long)! and I am a golden brown(Like a perfect marshmallow). 

So anyways, we are staying in the very very very top part of the windmill, so our room is a 12 by 12 stone room with four super large windows. It is freakin radical, and we love taking bets on how long salamanders can hang up-sidedown for.  

Well we hope you enjoy the pics. We will be posting tomorrow also :)



mmmmmm........ coppertone......
Here are a few pictures of our room, our sister sleeping in a chair, and mark rocking his "I don't know what face to make... since I'm not taking the picture face", and a picture of our view.
