Last vacation post!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Sigh\u2026 to be on island time is lovely. To deal with a toddler\u2019s adjustment to daylight savings is not. But back to topic at hand\u2026.<\/p>\n We spent a night at The Bitter End Yacht Club<\/a>. It\u2019s a really nice spot and I\u2019m not sure why I don\u2019t have more pictures! Maybe we were too busy using the real showers they provide for dock guests (!), playing darts and dancing the night away.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The next morning was cloudy but we had some decent wind so David and I took off to rent a hobie cat before moving on to the next island.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The wind picked up and I look at David with worried eyes. He said \u2018Don\u2019t worry; I won\u2019t let us flip\u201d. And then we accidentally gybed and I saw the mast flying towards us as we both flipped backwards into the water. I sat bobbing in the ocean and laughing as David went swimming after our hobie.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The rains came and passed and our boat moved on to Jost Van Dyke.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We made a quick stop at Soggy Dollar Bar before I concluded I could not possibly drink another sip of alcohol. I needed to move! So David and I wandered over to a deserted beach where I proceeded to make up a bodyweight circuit.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We concluded that we both suck at the \u2018relax and do nothing\u2019 vacation.<\/p>\n That afternoon we hopped over to a different harbor to visit the bubbly pool.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It appears calm, but when a big swell comes, it splashes over the rocks and fills the pool, making it feel like you are standing in champagne fizz!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n After a more active afternoon, David and I were up for visiting the famous Foxy\u2019s on Jost Van Dyke.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The scene was hopping and the music (and karaoke) was entertaining. We immediately settled into people watching.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We made friends and got pranked by this somber looking gentleman before deciding to tear up the dance floor ourselves.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We still got it, babe <\/p>\n The last day we went snorkeling at the Indians, a spot of jagged rocks that stick out of the water. I wish I had an underwater camera to show you the incredible variety of fish and coral we encountered, but alas, I just have the classic \u2018Look, we\u2019re snorkeling!\u2019 pic (we are bottom right).<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n That afternoon, we scooted over to our final night\u2019s anchoring spot on Peter Island<\/a>. Though we had enjoyed 2 other dinners ashore, I was most excited about Peter Island. It was our second choice for honeymoon spots and I was anxious to explore and compare.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We cleaned up and headed over, just the two of us. We found paradise! We made dinner reservations at the restaurant on the beach before grabbing a drink and enjoying the view.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Indescribable. After an adventurous week, I soaked in every minute of island luxury and the one-on-one time with David.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We eased our way into dinner, beachside.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The staff was so friendly and accommodating. I really could have stayed another week if I didn\u2019t miss Hailey so much! Knowing it was our last vacation dinner we savored every moment\u2026 and the food.<\/p>\n Finally, fresh seafood! My grouper was caught that morning.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n After a few drinks, some great conversation and mingling with our neighbors we waved goodbye to Peter Island.<\/p>\n
