St. Croix Vacation-Part 2

On Wednesday we wanted to relax and play in the pool all day. Anne Bailey loved floating on the rafts and splashing and kicking in the pool. Ruff and I went out Wednesday night to Rowdy Joe's for a little date night while Anne Bailey stayed back at the villa with everyone else. On Thursday we went back to the beach at Cane Bay to play and watch daddy build a turtle in the sand. Anne Bailey promptly destroyed it about 2 minutes later!  Anne Bailey was much more comfortable this day at the beach and even walked in the sand for a little. Thursday night we had some yummy pizza at Off The Wall. On Friday we spent our last full day soaking up the sun and playing in the pool. That afternoon we went with DD back to Christenstead for some shopping and a few drinks at Rum Runners, virgin daiquiris for me of course. On Saturday we were so sad to leave so we had to get in one last adventure that morning. All week we had heard about the beer drinking pigs in the rain forest so we went to check them out. Anne Bailey loved them and kept waving and saying "hey pig". Next we headed to the airport for what we thought would be an uneventful flight home. Well I guess we were wrong!

About 20 minutes into our flight we were informed that our landing gear was stuck (in the down position thankfully) and we would have to make an emergency landing in Puerto Rico. After flying in circles for about 30 minutes to waste fuel we finally landed safely surrounded by emergency vehicles and people in hazmat uniforms. Then we were informed it would be about 7 hours before another plane could come and get us. Anne Bailey did great and loved running around the airport all night but it made for a very tired pregnant mommy. Finally we left Puerto Rico at midnight and landed in Atlanta at 4 am. After a few hours of sleep at a hotel we were finally headed home.

We had such a great trip with family and loved making all these memories!
