babymoon in barbados

Over Memorial Day weekend we decided to take one last vacation before I reached the no-fly zone.  All we wanted to do was relax on the beach and do nothing else, and that is just what we did.

We had a wonderful time in Barbados.  Everyone told us how important it was to go on one last vacation before our little man arrives and we are so glad we listened.  The country was beautiful and we spent most of the time exploring the island and checking out all of the different beaches.  Jason insisted on snorkeling at each beach, convinced he would find a turtle and finally one day he was successful and found Walter while he was out swimming in the ocean.

The best part of our trip was our awesome yellow car, Betty.  She was very reliable and made sure no big bad trucks ran us off the road.  Driving on the left side of the road was a little tricky to get use to but the worst was the narrow little roads.  It was amazing how fast the cars would go on the little roads.  She was a little small for two tall people, and I'm sure we looked awesome driving around in such a mini car, but we loved it!

Besides exploring the country and swimming we heard about the Friday night Oistin fish fry that everyone said was a must.  After talking to a few people at our hotel we found out which shack was the best and headed to Oistin.  Apparently everyone in the country also goes to the Friday night fish fry because it took what should have been a 15 minute drive, 40 minutes.  We then found Uncle George's.  We only waited 45 minutes for our grilled fish, but the wait was well worth it and I will say I have never had swordfish and marlin that was that good.

We had a wonderful time in Barbados but couldn't help talking about our future travel plans and how excited we are to bring buddy along on our next beach vacation.  I'm not sure how old someone has to be before they can start snorkeling in the ocean but I can guarantee Jason will have our little man in the water as soon as he is able.
