Ethan and Senator Nelson (Gayle's former student and the most Positive Senator)
Well, our extended holiday break here on St. Croix ended with a fabulous parade celebration on Saturday and a lot of walking, dancing, drinking. The pictures show the fun... later a great band played at Lost Dog, but I can't spell it for the life of me. Ethan was a bit more ready to go fro round two but I petered out early (did anyone expect anything different?). Ethan headed to Cricket's party with Gayle and I hear there was much dancing to be done there too. Ethan again reconnected with some childhood friends and came home way after I had been dreaming of sugar plum fairies.
Here is slideshow of the photos I took at the parade. It was so nice to be able to go home for a bathroom break or for a reapplication of sunscreen or just a cold beer with no lines. I did leave my camera at the house halfway through the parade because I had this fear of having it swiped from my pocket. And besides, I think I got a good spattering of pictures. The costumes were great, the music was fab, and it was a great time altogether.

Cruzan Parade 2008 |
Then Sunday morning, we watched the Dophins swim from the pier to Rainbow Beach and cheered them on a bit. Took a nap and then went to Camp Mount Victory for their annual benefit for the Haiti Community Support group. Bruce and Matilde throw a mean party!!!! Once again we had a great time and this time Gayle came with us and also loved their pigroast as much as we did last time. Jamesie played great scratchy band music, they had a fun auction to support the school they are building in Haiti in Matilde's village. It was a good cause and I support their efforts wholeheartedly.
So moving forward: Do you have your passport? If you are planning on coming to our wedding, you should get your passport renewed. It is not mandatory at this point, nor do I expect it to be by June 2008, BUT it is always a good thing to have NOW. Just in case, they change the rules!
