Monday we decided to spend the day at glorious Magen’s Bay. Located on the North (Atlantic) side of St. Thomas, is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island. With 3/4 of a mile of white sand beach and crystal clear blue water I can see why. The girls donned their snorkel gear, … Read more
Day 2 St. Thomas: Heard about this huge Rastafarian farmers market (Bordeaux Farmers Market) on the west side of the island. I was told there were farmers booths, crafts, music, prepared food booths, face painting, lots to do!

An Italian joint, nestled inside an office building, it is a perfect combination of class and style.

Sorry, I just couldn’t come up with a clever title for this one. Omar and I took our Moms to Boodles for their famous Mother’s day Brunch. In all the years we have been together, our mom’s have never met so we felt it was time. I had been to Boodles a very long time … Read more
