Another Day In Paradise

Chris and I went to the Virgin Islands this past weekend with Chris' family. It was wonderful! Beside a wicked and somewhat patchy sunburn from insufficient application of sun screen, it couldn't have been nicer. On our first full day there, we all went sailing. We don't have any pictures of the sailing, but it was quite an experience. At one point we were sitting on the front of the catamaran and a huge wave crashed over us and Chris and his mom almost went floating off the boat! We were out in the ocean and ended up sailing right through the path of a regatta race that was going on. The many, many sailboats that were racing were quite a ways away, so we didn't cause any trouble, which was good. We also had fish tacos made by the captain of the boat, who used to work in restaurants. They were Chris' favorite meal while we were down there. The next day we went over to St. Johns and went to Cinnamon Bay, a beautiful beach that wasn't too crowded. We played Frisbee and some of the other family members went snorkeling and this was Chris and my favorite part of the vacation. All in all, it was wonderful. Now I've never been on who likes to write out a log of everything that I've done, so I hope that this will suffice. Here are a few pictures.

These top two pictures are a view from the balcony of our room. We were right over the water, a little way up. It was beautiful.
These bottom two pictures were taken from the top of the hill on St. John. We hiked up to the top and the view was phenomenal. In the picture below is most of Chris' family, his parents and three of his brothers, Jay, Tyler and Eric. We missed his other brother Mark.
