St Kitts

Our second port on the cruise was St. Kitts. Russ and I took a cab to one of the islands best beaches. We were a little disappointed in this beach since everyone kept saying it is the best beach here. It was still pretty and fun but just not as pristine as we had thought. Right when we got to the beach a lady came up to us and we agreed to get Alyssa hair braided. Alyssa was excited at first. About half way through she wanted to be done. I felt bad because she kept asking to go play in the sand and water. It took over an hour to get her hair done. WAY to long for a 2 year old. Needless to say we made it through and she looked like a little Caribbean girl the rest of the cruise. She liked to shake her hair and hear the beads. We also saw a star fish just sitting on the ocean floor where we were playing. We collected a lot of sea shells.

Before getting a taxi we let Alyssa hold a monkey that was in the main square. Of course we had to pay the guy $5 but it was worth it. She kept saying the monkey grabbed my swim suit. Notice the diaper on the monkey, kind of funny!
