7 Night Disney Cruise - Eastern Caribbean - Day 5

We arrived in beautiful St. Thomas on day 5 - October 26.  We ate some breakfast which included (like every morning!) Mickey shaped waffles which the kids loved.
St. Thomas was breathtakingly beautiful!

 We got off our ship and went to a small boat that took us to St. John. 
 We arrived in the small island of St. John about 45 minutes later.
 We did a nature hike there and learned about some local landmarks.  We learned about some of the vegitation on the island and some ruins.


 Then we arrived at this gorgeous beach.  I think the beaches keep getting more beautiful every island we go to!
 The kids enjoyed the water...in their clothes.  Nowhere on any of the information did it say to bring swimsuits!  So, the kids and TJ went in the water with their clothes on.  I opted not to go for wet jean shorts - ugh!  It was almost torture to sit on that beach watching people play in that beautiful, clear, cool water.  It was really hot - I'd really liked to have jumped in!

 Some of the sugar plantation ruins on the island.
 This is a picture of the resort there on St. John.  It rents for a mere $10,000/week!  They were naming some of the celebrities who stay there - I think one was Angelina Jolie.

Leaving St. John and going back to St. Thomas.
 Another cruise ship pulled in while we were away!
 That night at dinner we were back at Lumiere's.
 
 At the Walt Disney Theatre that night we got to see Villains Tonight.  It was a great comedy about all the villians in the Disney movies.  We really enjoyed it!
