It took moving to St. Kitts...

It took moving to St. Kitts for me to accomplish, try, and experience several new things. Some of things are on my bucket list others...not so much. But hey! Life is an adventure so why not!


  • Jungle Ziplining. I mean did grow up with a zipline in the yard that my Daddy built but there weren't monkeys...
  • Scuba Diving. I have been scuba certified for open water and advanced open water since I was 17. I have only been diving in rock quarries since then. It only took moving to St. Kitts to finally take a dive in the big open ocean! 
  • I had my first Birthday over-seas! Oh and Andrew did too! 
  • I have never in my life seen so many rainbows. We see one almost every day!
  • Eaten mango...can't say I love it but I don't hate it. 
  • Hiked a dormant volcano...let alone any volcano. Like Jimmy Buffett said..I don't know where I'm gonna go when the volcano blows...definitely not Montserrat...
  • Hiked into a Bat Cave..though they are vegetarians still slightly creepy
  • Seen monkeys in the wild and not in the zoo or on the Discovery Channel
  • Driven on the left side of the road
  • Driven a right hand car
  • Changed a baby's diaper...make that two...
  • Paddled Boarded! So much fun! 
  • Duke has never lived aboard...he loves it here
  • Vacated a home due to a bug infestation...AHHHHH
  • I cook now...before I ordered take-out
  • Baked cookies from scratch...true story ask Andrew! 
  • Seen a Caribbean sunset 
  •  Watched the Olympic games from outside of the US 
  • Seen a whale...oh wait I haven't! I still look every day! 
  • Drank from a coconut...never again 
  • Eaten sushi...veggie only!
  • Witnessed dear friends get engaged...so blessed to have been a part of that day 
  • Been so sun burnt! 
  • Become enmeshed into another culture 
  • Seen a water spout
