St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 2011

At the Beach, Just Another Day in Paradise
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 
November 22-27, 2011

BJ and I were off to paradise at 3am Tuesday November 22, 2011 with The Alabama Women's Basketball team.  We were headed to St Thomas, Virgin Islands.  On arrival in our red velour suits (Hot and Humid - Yuck!!) we were welcomed to the island with TEXAS Pit BBQ the best in the West . . . Indies.  :)      
 
Every morning we bought some baked goods and me some coffee and we sat out on the patio over looking the ocean.


Iguanas were every where.  They warned all of us to watch our toes. Evidently they like toes that are painted red . . . they look like berries. 












Our form of transportation to and from the resort. 
Happy 28th Birthday BJ and 5th Anniversary.  We are one lucky couple to be able to celebrate every year in paradise.  Well being married to BJ and having a daughter like Brady EVERYDAY is paradise. 

Alabama Basketball won the Paradise Jams 2011 Tourny.  Way to go girls.  Very proud of you!
Last day in paradise we set sail and went snorkeling at Sea Turtle Island. 





What a great trip but we were ready to drive back to Shreveport to pick up my sweet baby girl.  Thank you Honey/Pops and Gramma/Poppa D for watching Brady while we had a little "working" vacation.  Love you!!!

Jubilee Zoo 2011

Friends are forever, cousins are for life!!!
Jubilee Zoo 
Shreveport, La 
November 20-21, 2011 
I drove from Tuscaloosa, Al to Shreveport, La to meet Honey, Aunt Bethany, and Dakota.  We meet at the Jubilee Zoo which I recommend to anyone traveling to or through Shreveport.  It was a great time feeding animals, hay rides, bouncy house, and jungle gym. 














Staying in a hotel for the night after dinner at a local mexican resturante, Aunt Bethany surprised the girls with ice cream . . Yum!  After playing with toys and jumping on the beds I read to the girls. 

Sunday morning we woke up and got ready to leave but the water fountains were to FUN!!!  The girls started out just looking and running around the fountain to . . .

Running through the fountains fully clothed, too . . . .


Striping down and just running and playing in the water 1/2 nude.  Good thing is was 70 degrees plus humidity in Louisiana.  While Brady played I told her bye and left her with Honey for the week.  Wow did I miss her.
