Caribbean Staycation Part II

As you can imagine, we made several trips to the beach on our staycation.

One day in particular, we brought Leann and Brayton to Gong beach. They had never been there before, and it's one of our favorites, so it made sense to have them join us. Emily and Taylor went with us too! And of course the doggies tagged along; we even brought Zoe, one of the dogs we were watching.

With boogie boards in hand, we rode the Atlantic waves like professionals. Hahaha. It was such a fun afternoon. There's just something fun and refreshing about six adults playing in the sand and waves. Lots of laughs were had by all...and maybe we consumed a little too much saltwater. ;)

Trooper doesn't look quite as please as me and Brayton.

And here's Trooper hiding behind Uncle Taylor. No more swimming for that guy.

Mateo, Zoe, and Milo in the distance.

Another beach day was spent on Cockleshell beach and in Banana Bay. Matthew and I decided it'd be nice to have a "day date," so we packed up our beach gear, and headed out to the peninsula. Our plan was to snorkel areas we hadn't before, and end the afternoon with lunch before heading back to Frigate Bay to check on the dogs we were watching---including our own. And snorkel we did! We started at Cockleshell Beach and ended in Banana Bay. We saw an eel, the biggest starfish ever, a sting ray, sea fans, various species of fish, etc. Afterwards, we walked back to our car, drove back to Banana Bay and walked around to enjoy the views. Having spent a year in St. Kitts, I have no idea how I have not spent more time in Banana Bay. It's a gorgeous stretch of beach!

This is where we began our snorkeling adventure. 

I love how clear the water is.
