| Matthew & Maddie snorkeling at Trunk Bay |
We slept in the main house last night, woke up bright and early with the sun (around 6:30) and by 9:00 we'd had breakfast, dressed, sorted through the snorkeling gear, packed our bags for the day and had a swim in the pool! Around 9:30, we headed out to one of our favorite beaches: Trunk Bay. We thought that would be a good way to refresh our snorkeling skills, since they have a marked snorkeling trail there. It was awesome! We found shade at the far end of the beach, so we had quite a swim along the shore just to get to the start of the trail - we saw some cool fish along the way, and on the way back to our beach spot, Maddie and I swam over a ray! On the actual trail, we saw beautiful corals and lots of fish - our favorite of which was the parrot fish! :-) Hopefully the pictures will do the beauty some justice. The camera battery died right as I was zooming in on the parrot fish, so I missed some great shots, including Maddie's anniversary present to us! (She's going to re-make it tomorrow so I can capture it, LOL). Today is mine and Jeff's 19th anniversary!!! Wow... it's crazy how fast time flies!
Around 2:30 we left the beach and headed into to Cruz Bay to do a little shopping and get some dinner. We found me a nice St. John hat, but struck out on the book we were looking for. We tried a new place for dinner - Sun Dog Cafe - and it was AWESOME! We'll eat there again for sure. They had delicious fresh fruit and a refreshing cucumber salad that all of us enjoyed!
We capped off the night with a movie and ice-cream... we watched "The Deathly Hallows, Part 1"... only one more movie to finish off our marathon and be ready for Universal in a few weeks.
We all enjoyed God's beautiful creation today and are so thankful to be back!!! Check again later and there will be a slide show with more pictures from the day. :-)
