DAY ONE: GENTLE WINDS & RUM RUNNERS
In May, we went back to the Virgin Islands - this time to St. Croix. Susan and I had been to St. Croix previously back in 2008. On that trip, we were there just a few days. This time we spent an entire week on the island so we got a chance to see pretty much everything. I spent the previous week in Las Vegas for a conference, so I met Susan and the kids in Atlanta for the 4 hour flight down to the islands. The kids did OK on the flight down thanks to iPads and coloring books.
Our first stop was the Gentle Winds Condominiums. We stayed here in 2008 and found it conveniently located so decided to stay there again. First order of business for the kids was to test out the pool!
After swimming, we headed into Christiansted for dinner at Rum Runners. This is a popular spot in Christiansted and a favorite from our last trip. Dinner included Conch Fritters, Manchego Crusted Scallops, and Chocolate Truffle Cake for dessert. But the highlight of dinner, at least for the kids, were the live lobsters.
That wrapped up the first of 7 days on St. Croix. We were off to a great start!
