Our St. Thomas Trip



Ed and I got to go to St. Thomas...Don't think we go on trips all the time, but it just worked out this way. I won a trip to St. Thomas through a sales contest with my job. We got to stay at the Ritz and it was beautiful. There were about 110 people from my company there. We got to meet a lot of great people. This is our room. That bed was so fluffy and comfortable. So comfortable that we had breakfast in bed 3 of the 4 mornings. It was nice.
St. Thomas is very hilly and has lots of trees. This is the view from our room. The pool and ocean were to the right past the trees. It was so pretty.
One night my company rented out a place called Iggies right on the beach. We had dinner and they had a band. Ed got to play drums. He loved it!!! I don't know if you can see it very well, but the real drummer is the man in the back with his hand on his hip. Needless to say he was not happy that my man came in and played so well!! Great job Ed!
The band liked Ed so much they gave him a cd. The Ah We Band....great name....???

This is kind of an overcast day, but you can see the ocean was as calm as a lake. It was also very clear. We did lots of snorkeling and saw some huge turtles and a sting ray.
Another view from our room.
The pool and the ocean. On the last day a kid had an "accident" in the pool and they had to close it for 24 hours. All of you moms better make sure that when you take your kid swimming, they better have on a swimming diaper!!!
My sweet husband and me out at a restaurant in St. Thomas. Yes, we were wearing name tags. They asked us to wear them the entire time. It was kind of good b/c I am terrible w/ names, so it definitely helped.

Lets keep in touch! I will have to come and see you again soon too in Memphis! I will try to get your email from Shores so I can send you a pic.

Katie,

Your pics are so cute! I am glad you got to go to another fabulous destination too! I've been to St. Thomas, but only for the day (it was a cruise) but I LOVED it!

I called you back and left a message. I hope you got it. Let's get together sometime this week! :)

DOOOOOODIEEEE! Maybe it was Ed that pooped in the pool. I bet Ed showed that dude up on drums. Fun times. We're jealous of your world travels.
