Last day in St. Croix :(

We woke up Saturday to our last port of call, the U.S Virgin Island of St. Croix. We had been excited to see this island because one of good friends got married there and had so many great things to say about it. We were bummed that our cruise ended just like it started though- with a cloudy, overcast, at times rainy day. :( But like my daddy says, a bad day on the beach beats a good one at work. I couldn't agree more!

We were determined to make the most of our last day despite the clouds and headed from the port to the city of Christiansted, about 45 minutes away. We had signed up for another snorkeling adventure off the coast of Buck Island. We had a great time snorkeling but the water was so rough that it was downright exhausting. We loved the views of the beautiful fish and coral reefs below us but after about an hour we were so tired from fighting the rough water that we were ready to get back on the boat :)

We headed back to the shore, ate lunch at a cute little seafood cafe by the water, and then toured around Christiansted to do some shopping. I found a cute summer straw purse and then it was back to our port at Fredericksted for our last night on the ship :(

Trey loved the name of this boat

That night we decided to just go all out at dinner and basically between us ordered one of everything from the dessert menu (just so we could say we tried them ;) hahaha Don't worry- we didn't actually eat all of it. It was just fun to try and gosh were they good!

We went back to our room after dinner to rest for just a little bit because I told Trey it was our last night and we just HAD to go to some of the dancing parties all over the ship that night. Well... after reading all about our excursions and crazy schedule from the trip all week, wouldn't you know, we fell asleep... and didn't wake up until 2:30 am! We must have been tired. We actually tried to get up and see if anything was still going on but sadly we missed the boat. So we came back and finally got 8 hours of sleep our last night.

In the morning we woke up and had breakfast overlooking the shore of Old San Juan from the Windjammer Cafe. We couldn't believe our trip was almost over but it was a great end to a wonderful week.

We've already starting thinking of our next trip. Maybe Bora Bora, Greek Islands, Grand Canyon? ;) ha We'll see.
