Shopping trip to St.Thomas

A friend and I were suppose to go to St. Thomas shopping yesterday but it rained so much we did not know if we would be able to get back up to our house at the top of the hill. Some of the roads here are so steep with switchbacks in them it is hard to get up them on a sunny day. Try it in the rain, no thank you! So we went to St. Thomas today to do some shopping. I know what your thinking about the shopping and it is not like that. Once a week or so we will go to St. Thomas to do our grocery shopping. Food is not cheap on either island but it is cheaper on St.Thomas. Think $8 for a gallon of milk on St.John and $5.50 on St. Thomas. There is also a KMart for all of our non food needs. We caught the 10:00 ferry ride which did not leave until 10:15. (The ferry was kind enough to pull back into port to pick someone up) We arrived in Red Hook on St. Thomas around 10:45. Drove up to Kmart. Once at Kmart we got what we needed, if they had it. Lots of stuff they did not have. They did have a great bargin on Christmas trees, 90% off! Next stop Kokopeilis for some yummy pizza. Next up Cost-U-Less. Cost-u-less is like Costco but smaller and with not the giant size quantities. The sizes are kind of middle to large, not extra large. Lastly we went to Plaza Extra, the grocery store. We left the kids in the car and ran into get the 5 things we could not get at Cost-U-Less. You should have seen how packed the car was! Back down to Red Hook to catch the 3:30 ferry. Finally back in St.John to unload and make dinner. At least the sun is shining today!
