A little ‘vacay’

Early in August Team Lewis headed south for some time in beautiful Grand Cayman. Fortunately the grandparents on both sides of the family were able to join us for part of the time, Lewis’ during the first half and Nana & Pop on the second half. This post will go over the first part of our trip.
The fun started when KK & Grandpa Jim met us in Charlotte during a layover and then off to experience Cayman for their first time. We got in on a Tuesday afternoon and started with some Caymanian cuisine at Lone Star. For the uninitiated it’s actually more of a burger joint started by a Texan. The only thing Caymanian about our lunch was the Cay Brew beer. Afterwards there was pool time, settling in and the first of many gorgeous sunsets.
Andrea & I were really glad to have the parents around, especially when morning time came. They were nice enough to distract the kids for an hour (or two). They went out for breakfast a couple times, saw the sunrise and checked out the pool. KK worked on stud boy’s swimming skillz, and Grandpa Jim showed him the finer points of shore fishing.
So what else did we do? There was a drive out to the East End to see the blowholes and to check out Rum Point (pictures below). Part of the crew went to the Turtle Farm during little man’s naptime, and stud boy was even able to jump into a tank with some of the smaller turtles.
It was a fun week and we were glad to introduce the sights to the ‘rents. Unfortunately KK & Jim’s time went by quickly and they headed back to the states. I was hoping to work on the blog while we were vacationing but there wasn’t any internet connection at the condo. Going off the grid was a mixed blessing. We got a lot of reading done but it would’ve been nice to catch some emails and such. Anyways, there’s more on the second part of our trip to come, but here are some pics.
