Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

  • Cirque de Soleil

    On the drive from the airport to our villa on the first day we passed these huge black and white striped circus tents. At first I assumed it was a sketchy local circus until we saw the huge Kooza signs, it turns out cirque de soleil is in town. I’ve…

  • Visitors

    Mom and Jim arrived mid-week and have been soaking up as much sun as possible while they are here. We have quickly oriented them on the lay of the land, lack of schedule or plan and general laziness of vacation. They’ve caught on quickly. Sadly, for their first day here…

  • Villa schooling
