Cruisin'

Monday was another boat day, but it was starting to get warmer!  I still didn't get in the pool, but I at least put my swimsuit on!  It was another lazy day of reading and watching the ocean go by.  In the evening, there was a pretty epic sunset.  I resisted the temptation to add 15+ sunset pictures here!

We did dress up for dinner, but forgot to take proper photos.  Sometimes, you just have to enjoy life and not try to document everything, right?  A good reminder for all of us bloggers!

Not Scarf Weather

I bought this scarf when I was in Arizona, and I really love it.  It has blue, green, turquoise, coral, black and white in it, so I'm trying to wear it with everything.  On one of the 100+ degree days, I thought the scarf was an easy way to dress up a simple skirt and tank top.  I didn't really think about the consequences of wearing a scarf on a 100+ degree day.  Let's just say my neck was uncomfortably warm.

I'm a Robot

When I comment on other blogs, I frequently am asked to "prove I'm not a robot".  I don't think I'm a robot, but it usually takes me several attempts to get the right answer.  I mean, what does that even say up there!?  Is anyone else terrible at solving CAPTCHA clues?  Or should I just give up and accept the fact that I might be a robot?

St. Croix Wrap Up

Have I mentioned that I went on vacation recently??  --And now I'm doing a million blog posts about it.  I was just really excited to be at the beach!  This will be my last post about vacation, I think!

Here I am out in the ocean! Yep, that little speck in the water is me: 

Cleaned up for dinner one of the nights.

Here I am posing with the door to our room.  Room #17 was quite nice!

On our last day there, it was sunny all day, except for a little rain - timed perfectly over lunch!  We were on the North side of the island, so we didn't see many sunsets, but the clouds got really pretty in the evening.  All pink and blue:  

And our last night of vacation, posing by the palm trees in the courtyard of our hotel. 

At the Beach

the standard beach and feet picture - before the sand destroyed my toenail polish

Technically, we went to the beach every day of vacation, but these pictures are from the first day.  This is the beach at our hotel, which was really nice, and super convenient to be so close to our room if we needed to run back for anything.

This picture is a pretty accurate representation of what I did all week.  My floppy hat wasn't as brilliant as I thought it would be.  It got a little mangled in the suitcase, and it kept blowing away in the wind.  It also wasn't easy to pack when we went to other beaches.  Despite all of the flaws, I felt pretty fancy in my floppy hat.

Later that day, we took a taxi to another resort to check out that beach, and then went into town for dinner.  I had about 5 minutes and a tiny bathroom to get ready for dinner, so I kept it pretty casual.  I got this skirt last fall for $7 at Ann Taylor (on super sale with this dress and this dress).  It's silk, with a jersey waistband, so perfect for throwing on over a swimsuit.
