We had a great Spring Break in St. John, US Virgin Island. Our experiences opened our eyes to life on the island. We had fun snorkeling, building sand castles, jumping and riding waves, seeing iguanas. We all came back touched by the sun, but not fried!

Cruz Bay - The larger of 2 towns on the island.
Ferries dock here, as do many yachts. |

We all got to try coconut water - straight out of the coconut!
A guy was just chopping them down right off the beach. |

Katie set up beach bowling with the coconut.
