Shawn and I just got home from a ten day “babymoon” in St. Maarten. It was fabulous and we had such a wonderful time. It is so great to have met the man for me, and there was not one second when we were tired of one another or wished we could get away from one another. That is amazing to me. We went around the island, which is 37.5 square miles, on a 4-wheeler and had a blast. The island is half French and half Dutch; the Dutch side is more relaxed and laid back. We made friends with some locals and went to a Jam where they had models showing off new clothes and good music. Then it was Easter so they have this Carnival for almost two weeks and we went to the calypso parade. It was a bit overwhelming being the minority, like we only saw maybe two other white people the whole time, but also a blast and something you would not normally get to be a part of. We took a speedboat around the entire island and spent a few hours at two deserted islands. One was Tintamare Island, and we had a volcanic mud bath there. It was a blast and Shawn put mud all over me and the baby belly. When we were finished it was amazing because we went to rinse the mud off in the ocean and our skin felt like it had baby oil all over it. Next we went to Pinel Island where we snorkeled and had lunch. It was gorgeous and I wish I could go live there. Shawn found a giant conch shell while we were snorkeling, so big he almost could not even pick it up. The ride home was very bumpy but well worth it. Shawn got sick when we got back to the hotel but it could have been all the beers, the hot sun, and then the bumpy ride. I was fine until the next morning and I was just feeling so nauseous but once I got sick I was fine. We met an awesome couple from Ontario on our boat island hopping trip and spent the entire trip with them morning, noon, and night. We were disappointed that they live so far away but they promised to come and visit.
