The Windmill Bar

The guys, riding in a taxi up to the Windmill Bar:

The ladies, waiting for dinner:

This place is known for its amazing view of the sunset:

This is unfortunately kind of low-quality, but I am happy we got a shot of the whole family with that view behind us!

I wish I would have taken more photos of the scene / the actual restaurant. It was probably my favorite meal of the trip. I also got to try some Clase Azul tequila!

Lime Out snorkel tour

This was a highlight for everybody in the family... a day-long snorkel outing on a catamaran!

I did not bring my big camera on the outing, so these are iPhone shots only.

Unlimited drinks!

And a stop at this swim-up taco place (called Lime Out):

Beached in Cruz Bay, where we ended our trip:

What a day!

Reef Bay hike

70% of the island of St. John is a U.S. National Park. We saw a good cross-section of it during a seven-mile hike!

This is the visitor center where we met up with our tour group:

Taxi to the top of the island:

It was called the Reef Bay trail.

We saw the ruins of an old sugar mill:

And petroglyphs:

And an old factory:

We thought the hike ended at this beach, but the water was too choppy for a boat to pick us up, so we had to hike back instead (and it was all up hill)!

The kids were really good sports about the whole thing.

We had a little break first:

We took an alternate route back, making a big triangle on the island.

Trunk Bay

We are back from seven nights on the island of St. John! Trunk Bay, pictured here, is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I agree with that statement!
