St Thomas 2020

Day 4: Wednesday, July 22

Up next...Day 4: More snorkeling, swimming, food, and parasailing?

I woke up bright and early AGAIN! It really wasn't even daylight out yet and the sun was just coming up. I sat out on the balcony, so I wouldn't wake up the sleeping "beauties" and just enjoyed the breeze and shade on the side of the condo. I just loved that spot!

As I set there listening to the EeerrAeerAerrr, I decided I would, once again, try my luck at booking the parasailing. The kids REALLY wanted to do it and honestly so did I. But, I was very reluctant because of my foot/leg and was very apprehensive about the "dip" they do toward the end. Something like that would probably feel like they are ripping my foot off and I wouldn't be able to tolerate it. I seen that they had some spots open. I really wanted to talk to Kendra about it and see what time we should book, but of course she was enjoying her favorite hobby still...sleeping. 

​

Finally I would just pull the trigger and pick a 4pm time. But, I did know I wanted to talk to them in person about my "situation" before doing it. So, I would walk over there later in the day before we were due to get there. 

​

I thought maybe this would give us the opportunity to actually hit up another source of sand and water for the day. So, I started reading up on all the other beaches as well. I was so excited to get to another beach.

​

Meanwhile, I had a visitor watching me...

​

Also, I wanted to mention, there are signs everywhere saying "no dogs on the beach" but I would see people go to the beach (mainly early in the morning), with their dog, and sit in the chairs by the ocean. This happened almost every morning and in the evenings. Kendra did say that they were somewhere along the beach and there was poo-poo in the sand (and I imagine that's the reason why there's signs up because people don't know how to clean up after their dogs).
