Summer Vacay 2012

It's summer time!! Time to head to Canada and visit my sister and nephews for a few weeks!

My nephew Alex's 6th birthday party was postponed for late June in order to avoid the usual thunderstorms that occurred in early June. It was the Pirates of the Caribbean theme and my sister Kristine did a fantastic job with the decorations, the activities for the kids and the catering. We all stayed up til 4am the next morning working hard to make sure that Alex had the best birthday party and boy did he have fun!

The remainder of my vacation was spent hanging out with my sister and nephews...getting out of the house and having a great time together...going to the park, splash pad, the malls, watching the fireworks on Canada Day :)
It was an amazing 3 weeks and I can't wait to get back and spend more time with my wonderful sweet nephews and my twin :)

Calabash 2012

Its Calabash time again!! Thanks to its many organizers and contributors, the Calabash festival was in full swing for May 2012. It was scheduled and planned somewhat around the Jamaica 50 celebrations.

It was great as usual to get out of Kingston for a weekend and we stayed at this really great villa just 5 minutes away from Jake's where the festival is kept.

I'm sure that all the Calabash fans around the world look forward to many more years of the festival.

While we were there over the weekend, we decided to walk along the beach and take some pics...here are a select few that I took in lovely St. Elizabeth.
