Dream Trip 2008: July

Great Travel Moment

Ty Thompson was on a trip to the Caribbean with his parents. While on St. Thomas, Ty was their lucky charm. He chose his own dad?s name out of a drawing and won them a free day in the cabana by the pool, so we thought we?d see how his luck was at the slots. Alas, being only 10 months old, he wasn?t able to play. But he had fun pressing the buttons and watching the lights flash on Caribbean Gold. Traveling with a newly-crawling baby wasn't easy because he wanted to explore *everything*. But the locals and even the other travelers were for the most part happy to coo at, make silly faces, and play with Ty. It's amazing how a baby can bring people from all walks of life together. Their wonderment of everything new around them and innocence is universal.
