| Family Travels St. Maarten |
It is the best of both worlds..literally It is 1/2 Dutch and 1/2 French with two distinct languages and culture. We only saw the Dutch side from the overlook. We loved Mairgot -- the French side--because we love France. It didn't take us long to find the chocolate store and a creperie. Even the signs looked familiar |

| Each time we visit we find the same creperie, the chocolate shop and the little grocery store for French cheeses Also, don't miss the open air craft market down by the marina. |


| Our first trip to St. Maarten we booked through Shoretrips.com and our guide took us around the island for several photo taking stops. After exploring Marigot...Mom and the kids spent a afternoon at the beach while Dad went Scuba Diving |
| Our third trip to St. Maarten.... "been there and done that"... So we decided to split our group and do something a little different Dad, Amanda and Brent went on a scuba diving trip offered by Shoretrips.....Mom opted for a day at the beach |



| Nothing special....just a chair on a crowded beach. A Welcome drink and a nice lunch. The highlight was time alone reading my book ---Mom |
