Poor Ms. Bug is missing the snocalypse while she soaks up the sun. Really the weather could have waited a couple days.
Oh, yeah! It totally could have waited. I think not! This is exactly why I went away!
Had SO much fun with Stephanie and family this weekend. Really. Just a blast. Am back on St. Thomas and warm...trying to cool off.
ETA: Uploading pictures from this weekend as I type. Will share as soon as they're labeled.
Went to Old San Juan (mostly way touristy, but the fort was cool),
You totally could have hung out with vwbug and me because we were just in Old San Juan (although we didn't go into the fort. Instead, we tried to fly a kite with Ellie which was a lot of fun once we got the kite to work.)
Who else was in Old San Juan???

We had so much fun, too. If you ever need a house guest, Val is an excellent candidate.
It's weird to think that you are already back on St. Thomas and on the internet. Usually people have to fly for hours...which reminds me, the dogs are somewhere over the Bahamas at the moment. (My dogs are flying to New Mexico today. I'm a little nervous for them, but now that htey are in the air, it's all out of my hands so I feel better.)
eta: Hil - on a cruise. She was on St. Thomas too, although I'm not exactly sure if she meant this weekend or last weekend.
I bought the Lane Bryant jeans this weekend. They fit awesome(ly?) I'm a Red 3. Me and Porkins.
Old San Juan for me was last Tuesday. St. Thomas was Thursday, I think. (Cruises are essentially the water equivalent of "If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium.) Had only a few hours in Old San Juan, and we had the full day in St. Thomas, but spent only about an hour on land (enough time to walk a few blocks of Main Street in Charlotte Amalie, buy a book, and eat the worst grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had), and then spent the rest of the time snorkeling in Shipwreck Cove.
Was it soggy?
(I'm trying to imagine the ways in which grilled cheese can be bad)
Sounds like fun.
eat the worst grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had
I was telling vwbug this weekend that the food we had on St. Thomas was terrible. Apparently we just went to the wrong places but I"m glad to know we weren't alone.
and then spent the rest of the time snorkeling in Shipwreck Cove.
Oh, fun! Sorry about the grilled cheese, though. That's sucky.
Thursday was a busy day on the island. I'm pretty sure that was a six ship day. Craziness!
The grilled cheese: before assembling the sandwich, they totally coated both sides of both pieces of bread with jarred chopped garlic. Now, I like garlic. But totally coated with the jarred kind, not even sauteed or anything, is way too much. Then the sandwich was burned on the outside, but the heat didn't get inside enough to melt the cheese.
The curly fries, though, were excellent. (My sister got a hamburger at the same place and said it was the worst hamburger she's ever had.)
