A Local's Guide to St. Thomas: Kid-Friendly Things to Do

When my wife and I decided to take our first family vacation after our son was born, I was given the task of making the hotel arrangements. Being the thoughtful husband that I am, I was so excited to show my wife the great deal I scored us by adding a couple’s massage to our room at a discounted rate.
