Mom and Dad Visit St. Kitts - Round 2!!!

Upon realizing in February that one week is not nearly long enough for both a visit and a Caribbean vacation, my parents decided to visit us one more time before we leave the Island - and this time for two weeks!!  500 photos later, this is what the their vacation looked like!

Early in the vacation, my parents soon discovered that they liked to start off their morning with a delicious coffee from Rituals!  More often than not, a doughnut or Jamaican patty would also be added to the menu!  Delish!

Venturing along the beach to find a great snorkeling area, we came across a section of the beach with massive waves!  Mom and Dad thought they could conquer the waves, but were quite outmatched and ended up being pushed onto shore!  At least we caught it on camera!!

On the first Sunday of their arrival, we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving - Crackhouse style!  Our Canadian Crackhouse neighbours were able to join us for stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, and of course, a 13 pound turkey - the only turkey we could find at the grocery store!  Needless to say, we also enjoyed lots of leftover turkey sandwiches the next few days!  It was great to celebrate Thanksgiving with the fam, and fun to cook my first full Thanksgiving dinner!

On Wednesday, the the three of us left super early in the morning to catch the Ferry to Nevis!  I decided to work in the morning while my parents explored the Island, and then we met up after my shift was over!  So basically, while I was bringing home the bacon, my parents were eating the bacon at a local breakfast restaurant!  They also explored the beautiful Nevis beaches, as well as a local bar known as Double Deuces!  After my shift, we all headed to Dr. Stuart's gorgeous house in Nevis, with the best view on the Island!  An excellent day in Nevis!

One of the nights, I forced Andee into a wonderful photo shoot with our neighbour, Brigett!  Photos to come!!  We ended the evening with a yummy meal at our favourite St. Kitts restaurant, Sunset Cafe!  It was delicious!!

Later in the week we decided to visit Shipwreck Beach for some swimming, relaxing, sunbathing, a delicious lunch, and of course, monkeys!!  Shipwreck is my favourite beach on the Island, and my parents loved it so much that we ended up going back two more times!

The remainder of the vacation was spent at the Marriott, as it is across the street from our apartment!  We all enjoyed the beach, pools, pizza, and everything else the Marriott has to offer!  The benefits to living across from a resort!!

And what was Andee up to this vacation?  Other than a few meals together, Andee was, as usual, studying away like the dedicated student he is!  Andee and the Med 4's started their hospital rotations in St. Kitts, and so Andee was able to try out his new spiffy wardrobe!  Cutest Future Doctor I know!!!

So there you have it, two weeks with my parents!!!  And less than 2 months left on our St. Kitts journey!  Does time ever go by fast!!  I'm glad that I got to spend one last St. Kitts visit with my parents before we leave this beautiful Island for good!  And now, after 12 days in the sun, my poor Canadian skin needs a few days indoors to recover!  And yes, both my Mom and Dad left St. Kitts with a darker tan than me!!
