We were going to be there Saturday-Tuesday. The forecast did not look great:
Not great at all. Oh well, they get the weather wrong all the time, right? Um, not this time. It rained the WHOOOOOOLE trip.
That said, it was a nice, relaxing time with family. I actually decided to focus on relaxing rather than *brace yourself* taking photos.
That's right, you heard me. I DIDN'T have a camera attached to my face the whole time! In fact, I went nearly the whole trip without taking a single photo! Instead, I played with Tyler and Sawyer. I cooked dinner. I rode around the island just to see what there was to see (which wasn't much...). I watched old episodes of Hee Haw. I went to lunch with Jason and Tyler to a place that overlooked the stormy, rainy ocean. I relaxed. And it was awesome.
The last night we were there, there was a break in the rain. Jason and I had discovered a walkway earlier in the day that we thought might be a good place if there was a sunset to see that evening. There was, and OH. MY. GOODNESS.
I mean... there are no words...
Just, just, .... no words.
As if this wasn't breathtaking enough, at one point Jason turned around and there was a RAINBOW behind us! THIS kind of sunset AND a rainbow? I couldn't help but say a prayer of praise to God for the beauty of His creation and for giving us this moment after a rain-logged vacation (sorry that Sara, Adam, Beth, and Jake all missed the sunset). Incredible.
What a precious time with family.
I did take a few more photos that evening other than the sunset.

| Sawyer/Jake the Pirate/Ninja Turtle (it changed through the day) cared more about a tiny boat parked beside a store than the sunset that was captivating all of us. Oh, and do you love his tank temporary tattoo? Tough guy. |
