St. Kitts

We recently had our second family trip to St. Kitts. Our group this year was Mommy, Daddy, Jason, Mimi, Papaw, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Josh, and we were joined this year by Uncle Greg and Aunt Sandy. St. Kitts is such a beautiful island, and is still a bit on the undiscovered side, which makes it nice and not too crowded.

Unfortunately this year we had the terrible misfortune of being in an automobile accident, and had to send half of our group home early; Uncle Greg with a dislocated elbow and Aunt Sarah with a mouth injury that will require extensive oral surgery and braces. We are very fortunate, despite these injuries, that we all walked away, and are thankful that no one was hurt more seriously. We have been relieved to find out that Uncle Greg will not require surgery; and have been proud (but not really surprised) to witness Aunt Sarah's strength and positive attitude as she deals with a temporary liquid diet and multiple doctor's appointments.

After a couple of missteps, the resort staff was very helpful in assisting those of us that stayed for the remainder of the week, sort out things with the insurance company of the driver who caused the collision. We are very pleased that all medical expenses have thus far been reimbursed.

While Aunt Sarah and Uncle Greg have a long road to recovery ahead of them, we can look back now on the moments we did get to share on vacation together. We also look forward to future vacations together.

And now for some highlights (the good parts) from our vacation:
