Day 3 Thursday

Got up Thursday with good intentions of hitting a beach, but after a great breakfast of eggs over easy, bacon and a bagel, well, we just let it roll....

Image

We had a little pool time afterwards, and then we noticed a new villa being built just down the road, so we went and took a look. Pretty nice. Don't know who is building it, but it might be a nice rental when done.

Image

We then headed down to the ACC to pick up our raffle tickets for the drawing at Waggapalooza that was to be held on Saturday. Darn didn't win anything, but had a good time anyway!

Image

Then we decided to head over to Skinny's for lunch....gotta love those Blue Burgers!

Image

Honest...we had the burgers....but since we cannot get Presidente here in Dallas, we had to get one everywhere we stopped!
We then headed over to Sloop Jones, because we still had some of that heavy money in our pockets, and picked up a couple of items. Very nice hand painted shirts, or blouses or whatever they are, they are nice!

Image

On the way back to Cruz Bay, we stopped at Miss Vies' for some world famous Conch Fritters. Maaaan are they goooood!

Image

Image

We went back to Mongoose Junction, because the ladies had some items picked out that they wanted at Sea Leathers. The lady there told us they were losing their lease and probably would not be there when we return next year. Bummer. really nice stuff in there.
On to the villa where we had some pool time and ended the day with some BLT's. Love BLT's, a great summer fare!

Image
Off to bed, for tomorrow is our day with Capt. John Brandi and Palm Tree Charters! Some real fun was had that day, don't miss this one!

YEA BERT! Another great day for you all!

I just don't understand why Dallas doesn't carry Presidente's, Caribe, VI Pale Ale and Ting! Just another reason to head to the islands mon!

Love me a Skinny Blue Burger. (too bad they don't make me skinny~ :?

I still need to get to Vie's and Sloop's!

Can't wait to hear about boat day! :D :D

Hope to catch Vie's open this year! We LOVE conch fritters, and I've heard hers are some of the best!
