Kyle and his family were the second group to arrive on the island.
We had 11 children…5 boys and 6 girls. Ages 2 1/2 to 11. They all entertained themselves very well.
Our first evening was spent catching up, exploring our little island and playing a few group games.
Our chef Alex and his sous chef Marvin. They kept us well fed.
Meals were a great time to enjoy great food and good conversations. It was fun being waited on.
January is always a slow month spent mostly visiting with our Texas family and a few friends. It usually, as it did this year, includes a few days of frozen weather. Not a big problem for us since we are self contained….no water, not electricity…
The Placencia Pier.
Most of the local places looked a lot like this one. We would have spent a little time in one of the beach side establishments, but our island was just better…and all our beer was already paid for.
The kids favorite place to go in Placencia was Tutti Fruitti. They served gelato instead of ice cream and the kids loved it.
The Enclave sits on a private two-acre island just 100 yards from the Placencia Pier.
Paddle board time.
Corn hole by the pool.
Lots of card games…the new one being called Sets.
Just a few of the iguanas on the island.
This is the first time we have had a car waiting for us. It was fun.
Our little inn was very nice. We had our ow little building by the pool.
The office and kitchen were in the main house along with several more roooms.
We spent the afternoon and evening at Smokeez Seaside Restaurant & Bar. It was about the only thing in the area.
We relaxed and enjoyed a local beer while we waited for Milly and Evan to arrive.
It was great too have Milly join us for this holiday trip.
Dinner at Smokeez.
