Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

my thoughts on my new life

a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Parent's Visit!


Kyle's parents came to visit us in Curacao! They spent a week here and it wasn't long enough, because they were enjoying themselves so much! 

We walked around our neighborhood! Kunau enjoyed it just as much as Pop! 

We visited La Granja for lunch and had some delicious chicken and sandwiches!
 
We went to Saint Tropez and spent half a day lounging, swimming, and eating yummy food!

  














In the evening we went to dinner at an Indian food place that overlooked Curacao, it was beautiful. The dinner was to say goodbye to Kyle's co-workers and our friends, Dan, Caitlin and Ryan! I had never been to an Indian food restaurant before and I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I ended up really liking the food! We will definitely be going there again soon! :)







Sunday Kyle and Pop went deep sea fishing with some of Kyle's co-workers! They caught a barracuda and Pop grilled it for lunch!







 

While Kyle and Pop were fishing, Mom and I went to church at the Holiday Beach Hotel that was lead by the military chaplin. It was a beautiful service over looking the beach. Afterwards, we went to Denny's for brunch!

Next we all tried something new! We went on a discovery dive at Port a miri beach! Our instructor was great and even though he was so helpful and professional Mom and I couldn't get out of our heads long enough to enjoy it! However, Kyle and Pop had a great time and the instructor took some awesome pictures! If you're ever in Curacao and you want a great dive instructor contact Bas Harts.






























We played a lot of taboo and spades! I love playing games and it was great having enough people to play those fun ones! :)

Kyle BBQ-ed some juicy rib-eye steaks, and we ate them with corn and mashed potatoes!

We visited Shete Boka! First we went into the caves, then up onto the plateau and lastly out to Boka Pistol. Pop chased an iguana and tried to feed it some banana, but the iguana didn't want to hang out.



































For dinner I made pot roast sandwiches with pepper jack cheese and Kyle cooked up his tasty chili!

We watched the Harry Potter movies in order on bluray! 

On their last day here we lounged at Cas Abou Beach! It was a beautiful day and we had cheese burgers for lunch from the beach bar. :)




















I took Mom and Pop to Punda to do some souvenir shopping and site seeing. We went over the Juliana Bridge, saw the colorful houses, walked by the floating market and admired the large cruise ships! 

For dinner we went to Cravings sushi! It was decorated for Christmas and the food was (as usual) so delicious! Mom ordered soup and we forgot to tell her how big it would be, I think that was my favorite part of the evening! :)


We were so happy that Mom and Pop came to visit us, we had a wonderful time and I hope they enjoyed their vacation as much as we enjoyed their company!

Looking forward to my Mum visiting in January and Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Bunk visiting in February.

On a side note, we will be leaving the island at the end of March! So I hope we will be seeing you all soon, and I plan on keeping my blog even after we return the States!

A Colorful Life

  • About
      My name is Victoria and I got married in September of 2010 to the man of my dreams. We quickly up and left for a small island off the north coast of Venezuela called Curacao. I'm a full time house wife and I'm trying to learn what that means for me. I feel like I'm learning more about my husband, myself and my new life everyday.
