SV - Day Two

What a wonderful day. Just a few short hours of driving, and of course, Sean realized that it was just better to sleep - in fact, I think he was only awake about 45 minutes during our not quite 4 hour drive. Oh well, we made to the island just fine.
It was going to be a couple of hours before we could get into our rooms, so we took a short tour of the island with Mary's aunt and uncle (who we owe this trip to - Thank you so much!), played on the playground near by for a bit, then their room came available, so we relaxed inside until our rooms came available. It was quite a nice, easy paced afternoon.
Once settle into the room, though, it was non-stop fun. Of course Sean has to check out anything and everything that is new to him, which is cool. Then we got dressed for the pool (lot's of sunscreen here) and headed down. I was hoping to really cool off in the water, but I forgot that it had spent all day warming up in the sun. Even though it was a little warm for my liking it was still very nice, and with the breeze blowing, who could ask for more.
After swimming, it was time to grill out for dinner. Chicken and corn on the cob. Here we had another first, up until now, Sean had only eaten the corn cut off the cob, but he really wanted it on tonight, so we let him have it. Now, we didn't think to give him the fat end, and gave him the skinny end instead. Sean, eating the only way he knew how, bit off the end and started chewing away. We tried to get him to spit out the cob, but he was just loving it. So we made sure he chewed real well and got it all down OK - they say it is good to have fiber in your diet, right? We had a little more time for Sean to play with his cousins and then it was time to go back to our room and say good night.

What a great day, and I can't wait for tomorrow. Hopefully we will post some pictures tomorrow, of trip and Sean swimming, and who knows what else. Bye for now. -J
