Day 1...Journey to St. John
The journey to St. John is not easy and involves a few modes of transportation. Add to that 2 children under the age of 3 and 2 carseats, 2 strollers, and all of our baggage and it can be chaotic. Totally worth it when you reach the island, but chaotic! We also experienced some plane trouble the morning we left, which meant we had to sit on the first plane for over an hour at the gate and then disembark and get on another plane an hour later. So we were a little behind schedule for the day and BP and BB had to be extra patient. We flew from JFK to St. Thomas, took a taxi to the ferry, a ferry to St. John, and finally rental cars to the house. We left our house at 3:30 am and arrived at the house in St. John at 6ish. About 16 hours of traveling all together, and I am only pointing that out because The Barefoot Princess and The Barefoot Baby were troopers, awesome, and more patient than we were at times. Above are some pictures from the journey. The first two were taken when we first boarded the airplane. The last two were taken later that afternoon. As you can see from the last two pictures both BP and BP were still smiling about fifteen hours into the journey. It is not easy to travel with two young children, but I think totally worth it and can teach them so many great life lessons! I am so proud of our two little adventurers!

Oh I love both pics of the girls!! I can't imagine doing all of that with two littles ones. You guys really are troopers. I'm glad you had fun and decided it was worth it! We're thinking of flying in October, so we'll see how it goes..
Sounds like such a big journey. So glad your little girls were up for the challenge. Great photos.
Wow I'm so impressed with your little girls! Mine totally would have had a meltdown. They look so happy traveling (must be in their blood)
Wow, I think I would have had a hard time smiling after all that travel. I'm glad they took it all in stride.
