This was the second Island we stopped at on our Cruise. St. Martin is the smallest Island in the world to be controlled by two powers. Half of the Island is owned by the Dutch and the other half is owned by the French. It was cool to be able to see the 2 different cultures on one Island. When we got to the island we decided to rent a Jeep so we could travel around the island at our own pace. Ryan loved driving the Jeep... I think he misses his Jeep. We drove around to the French side of the island and spent most of the day at Orient Beach. It was BEAUTIFUL! We love white sandy beaches and the water was so clear and blue. We had to be careful what parts of the beach we frequented as you know the French.... clothing optional beaches are common. This island was one of our favorite stops as we were able to para sail. It was awesome to be floating that high over the ocean and take it all in. The water was so clear that from up there we were able to a sea turtle swimming below us. Para sailing is a definite must do if you ever get the chance. Later that day we did some shopping downtown before boarding the ship. What a day!

You guys look great and I am just overflowing with jealousy!! I want to go away with my hubby. Glad you were able to have a blast and enjoy some time without the little ones. Fun times. Happy Anniversary!
Okay, so I say to Glen..."Maybe we should train together to run a marathon next year." His reply, "Why don't we just train for a trip or a cruise!?!" If only I would have known years ago that that was all I needed to do to get a vacation out of him. So, are you up for 8 more kids? Ha Ha
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. We need to all go on a cruise together one day. I can't believe faith is walking, and you have a new puppy! It's sad we have to look at your blog to know what's going on when we live down the street! We need to come see you guys soon!!!
