Really, it was work

I was fortunate enough to go to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands for work last week.  Even though my four co-workers and I were in the tropics,  our days consisted of work, work and more work.  Some play.  I'm not complaining by any means; who else can say they've gone to the caribbean for 8 days of work?

Three of us did stay for two extra days to enjoy the island.  Although it was too long to be away from Todd and the kids....

Lots of pictures below...
