St John, Virgin Islands. This was an ongoing site there; A cow nursing a baby pig. It has been going on for as long as I can remember. Not sure which cow started it or why. It is not all the cows, usually you will just see one cow nursing a pig. These are Moses’ cows who lives in the valley, Cows run free so it is common to have to wait for them to cross the road.

Preparing for Outward Bound

Had a discussion tonight at dinner. I wasn’t feeling well, headache for hours,  and mentioned I needed a vacation by myself. Really, I just wanted to go to bed for a few days and have no one bother me.

 My son said he didn’t think he would enjoy traveling alone.

I said I loved it and started listing all the times I have done it.

• Outward Bound for a month in North Carolina
• Moving to the Virgin Islands with my 16 month old, not knowing anyone when I was 23.
• Trip on train (Amtrak) for two weeks when I was 24 with two kids at home. (My mom took one and his father took the other)
• Yoga for a month last year in the Bahama’s

My daughter then chimed in about how paranoid I am with her but yet I did all this stuff when I was young. Like the time I hitchhiked across America with my boyfriend.

I told her she’s right, I would absolutely die if she did the things I did.

Anyone got any stories about the crazy things they did when younger that they would never want their children doing?
