Wednesday was a very exciting day on the trip! We made the ferry to the island with about 3 minutes to spare. Kingston loved the boat trip over. I, however, had to wear motion sickness bands!
Riding over reminded me of the trip to the island my parents had taken us on over 20 years ago! (Oh, I feel SO old!) It was so nice this time to be riding on a horse and carriage tour instead of taking a walking tour. There are no motor vehicles allowed on the island so the choices are limited when wanting to get around.
The carriage ride was fun, but my sensitive nose almost couldn't take riding behind the horses! Kingston liked the ride for the first 5 min. Then he kept telling me this ride is boring. Oh, the honesty of a three year old.
The first stop on the tour was to a butterfly conservatory. Of course Kingston loved it! My dad had a butterfly land on him that was the same color of his shirt. Outside of the conservatory they had a flower garden with a bench. Kingston thought the bench was his stage and proceeded to give us a full concert, complete with some Kingston originals!
The next big stop took us to a fort on the island. Kingston was SO sleeping and HUNGRY by this point that he was not much fun. Then we found a kids' section and he perked up real quickly. He had to touch and hold everything. We managed to get some really cute pictures here. Finally everyone got fed at the Tea Room in the fort and life was MUCH better!
From here we went to the Grand Hotel. We saw Don Schula sitting in the hotel. I very carefully took a picture of my dad/Don! We sat on the front porch (there's 1oo rocking chairs) and enjoyed the view from the rocking chairs. Kingston was getting so tired by this point (4:30 pm) so we started the walk back into town. Kingston finally fell asleep while we were waiting for the ferry back to the mainland.
