We docked in St. Croix while we were sleeping and woke up to the beautiful view out our window. We had intentionally left the day open to explore the island on our own. We ate and walked into port to shop and explore. We got some great views of our ship. We went to the Fort museum that was right there and got a interesting but rather stream of consciousness rundown of the history from the curator.
As we walked around Devin seemed out of sorts. My mom radar was on high alert. Sure enough, this is when Dev started to spike his fever. So we abandoned our plans to take a cab to the beach and just hung by the pool. After a dose of medicine Devin was still not totally himself, but felt good enough to sit by the pool with us. Julia went to her club for a bit and got her hair braided. While she was sitting in the chair Stitch came over and mauled her again. Neil said it was pretty funny and couldn't quite get the camera going in time to capture it.
As dinner time arrived Devin was feeling pretty crappy, so Neil and Julia went down to dinner and Devin and I stayed in the cabin waiting for his motrin to kick in. The bummer was that it was pirate night. So, we missed the pirate dinner, but got him feeling well enough to head to deck 10 for the Pirate party and fireworks! We partied like it was 1699!!! Devin still talks about how we were "on the big screen". During the party they did crowd shots up on the Ariel view tv and there we were!!
Again, looks like we had nothing but fun, but the photos didn't capture how yucky Devin felt, how anxious I was feeling about it all, and how disappointing it was to miss dinner with the kids as well as our adults only late dinner at Palo. Also didn't capture my heart breaking when Devin apologized for making us miss our dinner. I told him there was no place I'd rather be than with him while he needed me.
