Superbowl Sunday Weekend

After a productive week of marketing to yachts, creating graphic designs and studying our ABC’s, 123’s and wild animals, we decided to begin our Superbowl weekend on Thursday night with a date night.  An adorable, quaint little French wine bar paired with Mooi, gourmet Spanish restaurant, made for a magnificently Mediterranean evening together.  A little hung over Friday, we took our expert swimmer to practice in the pool then met up with a Captain client and his wife for dinner at Bamboo Bernie’s, our favorite sushi restaurant.  Our after dinner Maho Beach window shopping ended quite abruptly as a rather large poop explosion all over the new strawberry dress found us racing to the car park only to find two dinky diaper wipes and no extra outfit.  After months of no major accidents, a Mom gets a little lax… well, lesson learned.  Also, note to self, NO MORE COW MILK ICE CREAM FOR ALEXA.  We think that’s what did it.  We will stick to the delicious vegan stuff.

5 minute long sporadic Saturday storms didn’t slow us down as we danced, played and fell in love with the turquoise water at Mullet Bay Beach.  Stunning.  Saturday night we all took it easy with a quiet home cooked meal at home from Chef Daddy G.

Superbowl Sunday started at Layla’s for brunch at 11am, only there was no brunch this Sunday… apparently.  We found this out after we withheld breakfast from our little Angel and with hungry stomachs and built up anticipation drove to the French side.  But, that’s okay.  Little A didn’t mind when she saw the pool.  Oh, pool is empty, no water.  Still, okay, the massive play ground and beach took center stage as we waited for noon to arrive so we can enjoy our Layla’s lunch instead.  As a Yachtie Mom, or any kind of Mom, it’s so important to be flexible.

After living in the lap of luxury at Layla’s (and the owner game me a free t-shirt), we went to Mary’s Boon to see Santana live on the beach Superbowl Sunday pre-game show St. Maarten style.  We soon discovered Santana was a Classic Rock cover band, not Carlos Santana, but hey, again, that’s okay.  The show was free, on the beach at sunset and we danced our butts off barefoot in the sand.  A couple hours later, we made it home just in time for the real pre-game show on TV.  Our team won!  Go Greenbay!

We search for iguanas in our neighborhood every day and find at least one every time

We also search for humming birds every day.  Today we got lucky.
