Since Aaron is in school all day Addison and I went a new beach today. Along with some other spouses on the island.
We visited Indigo Bay, which is from what I've heard, the best beach on the Island to collect sea shells. Its the only other beach I've visited besides Mullet Bay in our short 3 weeks here, so I can't say for certain just yet. We found so many shells there today though that I think I can probably already agree with them.
Our day started when Stephanie Wride (another spouse on the island) was kind enough to pick Addi and I up. We met up with a bunch of other spouses at a cute little French Bakery called La Sucriere.
(this is not my picture, I didn't get one. Thanks google images)
Its a cute little French Bakery located in Simpson Bay. They have all of the pastries, croissants and other things in a little window that you pick from a window. Addison and I decided to try the blueberry muffins, a chocolate croissant and we got these small brownies that were 3 for $1. We brought those home for Aaron to try as well.
This was our breakfast. The chocolate croissant is in the back, with the blueburry muffin on the left and the pecan brownies we took home on the left. (sorry for the blurry picture).
(gotta love the Evian bottle in the middle of the picture). This was our view as we ate. This is the lagoon. (I forgot what lagoon it is though).
After we ate breakfast we all headed over to Indigo Bay Beach. Its a "newer" beach they are trying to develop. They have a restaurant called Kokomo down there, and they are building tons of apartments There is an arch where people usually got to take wedding pictures and a lot of landscaping. But the beach is nice, and quiet. We were the only ones on the beach besides a few down at the other end that were there relaxing at the restaurant.

As we were getting ready to leave we saw a "pirate" ship. Stephanie got a picture of Addison and I with it, but I got just a picture of the ship. It definitely looks like a pirate ship. Just missing the black mass with a skull on it.
Our "pirate" ship.
Stephanie was kind enough to take me to Cost U Less, a store that is a lot like Costco here, after the beach. We went and made the drive over there (which isn't far this island is small). Us and our girls were covered in sand. When we got there I got out of the car, locked my door and then got Addison out. I forgot to lock Addison's door so Stephanie reminded. After I locked Addison's door, Stephanie had me help put Kate (her daughter) into her baby carrier (or baby-wear). As we did that Kate's door flew shut. With Stephanie's door already locked, my doors locked and the keys inside. Luckily we had our baby's out already, but.... we didn't have the keys, or Stephanie's phone, or her money or anything.
We saw some local fireman so I ran over there and told them the situation. They told us they didn't have the tool they needed on that truck. So they called a tow truck for us and then left. We waited a while but weren't sure who we were waiting for, how long we would be waiting and were getting antsy. Stephanie decided after about 30 mins of waiting to walk over to this auto store and see if they had anyway of getting into the car. Unfortunately they didn't but they did however have the number to her insurance (its the same insurance all over the island). So we called a road side service vehicle and they helped us out and helped Stephanie get into her car. By the time we finished our shopping, were were pooped and ready to go home. It was a fun day and quiet the little adventure.
I am excited for our next one! :)
