Staycation Cayman Style

I know David has received lots of grief on Facebook regarding our Island view of a staycation, but in Cayman, if you stay on 'The Rock', it is considered a staycation, whether you are actually staying at your house or not. So, our Island version of our Summer staycation, was a week in a rented house at Cayman Kai. We decided to stay close to home this summer as are currently going through the process before breaking ground on our house, which is scheduled to begin construction late August / early September (keep posted for updates). So in July we opted for the relaxation and tranquility of Kailypso at Cayman Kai, with Mimi and Bampa. The weather was picture perfect, and days playing Gin Rummy (Ryan mastered the game and won a few hands), snorkeling, Kayaking and Paddle Boarding lead into lazy evening watching the sunset, enjoying the solitude and waiting for the moonless night so we can see the bioluminescence in the bay.

Ryan has logged over 13 dives to date. Here he is just emerging from his first night dive with David.

End of School Fun

May and June was all about end of school madness for Ryan and Taylor. They had activities, projects and field trips every week. Since life keep us away from blogging for the past few months here is a very brief snapshot of what took place: Year 3 field trip to Pedro St. James, Year 5 tour of the ecosystems of Cayman, and Taylor's Tap & Jazz recital. Summer break could not come soon enough!
