Virgin Gorda/BVI, April-May 2008

To commemorate Matthew's upcoming graduation, 18th birthday and college experience, we decided to take the family to Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. We stayed in a small, quiet resort on Mahoe Bay.




Monday was Nick's 15th birthday. We spent it visiting Bitter End Yacht Club, as guests of Mikhail and Dawn, fellow homeschoolers and residents at BEYC. After a tour of the place, we had lunch at the pub. Nick had a birthday brownie.

After lunch, we joined the resort's afternoon snorkeling trip to a nearby reef. After an hour or so in the water--not as long for Samantha, who was freezing--the captain pointed out rays and turtles as we cruised back to the resort.



It was a good first day.
