Looking at the island from above was a sight to behold. Lots of green and no white. Where was the snow? Well mommy said that there is no snow in the Caribbean. I can totally live here!
We landed at the Grantley Adams International Airport and it was great taking my sweater off and not having to be bundled up anymore. I also had a lot of fun at the airport while waiting for our taxi to arrive before we went to mommy's friend house for the night.
That afternoon mommy decided that I was going to visit the beach. It was my very first time being on an actual beach and I have to tell you that it was amazing! The sand felt nice under my feet and while I was afraid to actually go into the water, I loved watching the waves.
When I finally left Barbados I decided to visit the gift shop and I'm happy I did because mommy decided to get me 2 books, which I plan on highlighting on my Toddler Book Talk Tuesday next week. You know how much I love books and I even decided to read one of them while waiting for my flight to St. Vincent.
I love the Caribbean islands and I can't wait to visit again. Next stop, St. Vincent and the Grenadines!
So tell me what Caribbean island have you visited and if you've never visited would you love to?
I have been to the Bahamas and absolutely loved it and by the way I am with Madison on the lack of snow and wishing I could live there, too ;)
ReplyDeleteJanine the next time we visit you should totally come with us. While it was hot it was not the heat that you have in the summer here in the US since there was always a nice breeze. LOVE IT!
DeleteI have always wanted to visit Barbados. It sounds like you had a great day there :)
ReplyDeleteI had an amazing time Robin and I really can't wait to go back and spend a bit more time there. You should totally visit.
DeleteI have never been but that sand looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteAngela you and Christine are going to have to take a trip and the winter time is the best time to go. Get away from the cold and enjoy a bit of the Caribbean. :)
DeleteOh my goodness what an amazing adventure - I would love to go myself one day the sand and the sea - bliss! x
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy it Sarah. It's awesome in the Caribbean and I can't wait to go back.
DeleteWhat a fantastic trip! We've visited the Bahamas (a quick hour flight from a city nearby) and it was fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to the Bahamas but I've seen the Atlantis commercials enough times to know that I would love to visit one day.
DeleteLooks like a gorgeous place to visit! I'd love to go one day.
ReplyDeleteI think you should visit Heather. You'll love it!
DeleteOh wow a getaway. Barbados has always been one place I would love to visit. It looks gorgeous and relaxing! Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteJeanine it was my first time visiting and I can't wait to go back. I don't think I stayed long enough to really enjoy it the way it should be, but you're right, it was gorgeous and relaxing.
DeleteMy fave island is St. Marteen! So happy you had your fist day on the beach. Here is to many more
ReplyDeleteWe flew over St. Maarten and I'm hoping I'll be able to visit there one day as well. I'm hoping for more beach time myself too.
DeleteThat sand is too, too gorgeous. I would love to visit. I've been to a lot of tropical places but not here (YET).
ReplyDeleteOh the sand was amazing and I can't wait to experience it once again.
DeleteSo much fun! I want to visit the Bahamas on my next cruise.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome! I've never been to the Bahamas but I would love to go and a cruise sounds like a great way to go.
DeleteI have not been to a Caribbean island but would love to. Your trip seems to beautiful and full of adventure.
ReplyDeleteAimee you should definitely make it one day. You will love it, I assure you.
DeleteAnyplace warm sounds like a great idea right about now! It's currently 13 degrees outside~
ReplyDeleteOh we have a lot of snow on the ground right now so if I could go back into the warm sunshine I would so love to go.
DeleteWhat a great adventure and experience for you and your family! Looks like she had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI did have a great time and I can't wait to do it all over again.
DeleteOh my goodness! I am terribly jealous of this trip. That sand looks so amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe sand was amazing and maybe you can take a trip there one day. You'll love it.
DeleteThis looks like such a great vacation. I would love to go to Barbados. Amber N
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get a chance to go I would suggest taking it, and if you do, you have to tell me all about it.
DeleteGosh, I have never been into the place - I wish one of these days I will be able to do so. - love having different kinds of travel experiences while making wonderful memory with the family.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great making memories with family. I've been traveling since I was 4 months old and I love it.
DeleteWhat a very lucky little girl. I've never been out of the United States! It looks like you had an amazing trip and I am so glad you had yourself some fun!
ReplyDeleteRena I would recommend booking a trip one day and just enjoying yourself. I've noticed that a lot of Americans don't like leaving the US but you'll enjoy it if you do.
DeleteHi Madison,Looks like you had a lovely time and how lovely for you to get to enjoy the beach.I look forward to hearing more about your trip and also the books you got.
ReplyDeleteHi Kay yes I did have a lovely time and I can't wait to share my books with you next week.
DeleteWe've been to the Bahamas several times. My husband's family was there. The islands are so beautiful! Looks like you had a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to the Bahamas but would love to one day. Maybe mommy might decide to take me there one day in the future.
DeleteLook at her so cute and loving the trip. And oh yes, I can relate to that happy feeling of being able to take off the sweater and still be warm!!
ReplyDeleteRosey there's nothing better than being warm in the winter outdoors. It was an amazing trip and I can't wait to do it all over again.
DeleteYou know Madison I have never visited any of the Caribbean Islands. Now that I read your experience, I would love to visit Barbados some day.
ReplyDeleteBabita I hope that you're able to make it one day. I just know that you will love it if you ever visit. You might not want to go back to the US.
DeleteThat must have been such a fun trip, I would love to visit Barbados one day; it seems like such a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a beautiful place but most of the Caribbean is. I have to share my highlights of St. Lucia which I spent another day in and had a day tour and also of St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well.
DeleteBarbados is a place where I really want to visit, it just looks so beautiful and I know it will be a trip to remember; hope you have had a good time!
ReplyDeleteOh it is beautiful and I did have a great time while I was there but wish I could have stayed just a little bit longer.
DeleteAwww, Madison looks so sweet in all these beachy photos!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some lovely sites and beach time.
Thanks so much for sharing.
xoxo
Thank you Jennifer. I had a great time at the beach and can't wait to do it all over again. Mommy is planning another trip and I can't wait.
DeleteI commented but seems Google gods ate my comment. So here I try again, I think she looked like she was grumpy with that sand. Was it too hot ?
ReplyDeleteAmanda I think I was more grumpy with mommy taking photos and not leaving me alone. The weather there was warm but not too hot and it was late afternoon so it was ok.
DeleteI never have been there, but would love to go. Better then being here the snow. Lol
ReplyDeleteYou got that right Teresa. Anywhere it's warm is much better than here where it's cold and freezing.
DeleteI'm so glad your taking trips with you mommy. You look like your a good little traveler. I haven't visited any islands yet but Im encouraged by your trip to visit some soon with my son.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice Onica and I'm sure that you and your son would enjoy your trip together. I've been traveling since I was 4 months old so I think I've gotten a little bit used to it. :)
DeleteI've never been to Barbados or any of the Caribbean islands and I'm so jealous right now. I've been dealing with this nasty winter and here you are enjoying the beach. Time for me to actually get my passport and plan a Caribbean trip. Winter seems to be the best time to visit too.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get a chance to go please let me know. I just know that you'll have a great time there. Anywhere where it's warm and nice is better than winter right now.
