This thrilling excursion suspend you about St Martin's private forest reserve where you'll soar between majestic 200 year old mango and mahogany trees. the course, consist of sequence of zip-lines, rope swings an bridges suspended from platforms mounted in the trees of the forest will leave you in a state of euphoria! 

The adventure was 3 hours45 mins. It was a lot of fun. Not as thrilling as I had hoped. But for Carlie who has a fear of heights it was a trill.   

Our ship the Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Sea

Beautiful ship

The Royal Promenade, it was a small mall on the ship!

 3 D movies, big shows ever night, the food, the food, and the food. It was a great family vacation. We are already talking about the next one!

Megens Bay at St. Thomas

Geoff bought a football and we play with it in the water.

Bathing beauties. 

Norah loved the sand. 

hOne of those beautiful beaches is Magens Bay Beach on the island of St. Thomas. This beach is a half mile in total length and is protected from the strong Caribbean currents by two peninsulas; therefore, making this beach a wonderful spot to swim due to its amazingly quiet water. Not only does it have quiet water, but it also boasts of some of the purest sand in the Virgin Islands

The Historic Tower and Manor Houses of Black beard's.

Beautiful Norah

Stacy, Carlie and Rylie waiting in the HOT sun.

Skytsborgtarn, meaning sky tower, was built in 1679 to protect fort Christian against invaders by land from the North and as a vantage point to spot enemy ships approaching the harbor from the south. Though it's unlikely that Blackbeard himself used the tower, the Danish authorities kept a sharp lookout for Edward Teach and his brethren of pirates who favored the duty-free port of St. Thomas to convert their booty in to gold. It was interesting but we were ready to go to the beach. Pictures to come.  

Dinning on the ship.

With our waiters. They were so great!

Norah had everyone wrapped around her finger. 

The food on the ship was great. We had a wonderful time eating dinner together every night. Cruising is a lot of  fun. Having all your food prepared for you. No cooking!! 

We spent a lot of time at the Flow Rider on the cruise ship.

I really liked the boogie board.

Scott was really good. And he really enjoyed it.

Geoff was a pro.

Jason was a pro.
