Virgin Gorda Photos I

On the beach on the island of Tortola, waiting for the ferry to take us to Virgin Gorda. The boys couldn't help themselves from putting their feet in the water while we waited. Who could blame them? So I rolled up their pants. And they got soaked. Could there be a better start to a great vacation?!

The four of us on the "ferry" (i.e., really a very small boat) to Virgin Gorda.

First morning. The boys woke up, stumbled out of the villa, stripped down, and went straight into the villa swimming pool.

Friday night we went to the famous Beach BBQ at Leverick Bay. Virtually the whole island goes to this (tourists and locals all), to eat BBQ ribs and listen to "island music." Kyle and Owen had an absolute blast. The highlight (I think for everyone in attendance, not just our family) was when K & O went up to the lead singer of the band and requested that they play the song "Stir It Up" by Bob Marley. The band was very impressed with the boys' working knowledge of all things reggae! And, of course, they played it right away and the boys danced center-stage for everyone to see.

Savannah Bay Beach. Savannah Bay is a perfectly pristine white sand and turquoise water beach. Other than some local families, we were the only ones there... which is par for the course on Virgin Gorda. Rarely did we see another human being on any beach we were at.
