Peter Island Friday
One of our favorite islands in the British Virgin Islands is Peter Island. It's directly across the Sir Francis Drake Channel from our house on Tortola. All that's there is a stunning resort. We'd taken Liz and Jeff there on their previous visit to the BVI and it was on the list of things to do again. That's when you know it's a must-see! The ferry ride from Tortola is $20 per person, but the babies ride for free.
Once we arrived on the island, we took a collective deep breath. There's something so calming about Peter Island - the surroundings instantly relax you. A nice gentleman from the resort took us for a ride in his golf cart and dropped us off at Dead Man's Beach. We set up under some palm trees and enjoyed the cool breezes.
Since at least one of the babies decided to take a nap upon our arrival, we put Liz to work modeling some clothes for Michael's company, HIHO. This is the St. Barth's dress. Doesn't she look stunning?
Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. And off to Deadman's Beach Bar & Grill we went! The staff was so accommodating, as they rounded up not one, not two, but three high chairs! While Michael and Jeff had big, juicy burgers, Liz had the jerk chicken wrap. I had the blackened mahi mahi sandwich, and Alison had a yummy salad.
Michael had a few more products to shoot, but I got behind the camera to snap this sweet sibling pair. (They too are wearing HIHO, Jeff in a long-sleeve suntek shirt and Alison in a lycra perfect for the water.)
We headed to The Dove for dinner that night!

It was a lovely way to end the week...PEI mussels, a middle course of tortellini, Dove steaks and prawns. We couldn't possibly order dessert!

Great post, Amelia! Every time I read the blog I decide I just have to plan my visit to the BVI...one day I'll make it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the attempt at the naked baby picture! Now that my son Micah can walk, it's hard to get him to do ANYTHING for a picture that we want him to. Thank goodness for fast shutter speeds! As always, the blog is great and provides me with a daily escape to island life while I'm at lunch at work.
The dress is gorgeous on her! And of course the babies are adorable too!
Looks like a fun day!!!
I've yet to visit peter island, and have to check it out along with that adorable dress and hat liz is wearing!!
