Another warm and beautiful day. We woke up already anchored in St. Thomas. There were 6 cruise ships in port today. We were the only cruise ship tendered out in the bay. Our excursion today was Coral world Ocean Park. This was something we chose for Zach. And it was a good idea. The poor boy is so tired of the princess this and princess that – oh and lets stand in line to take a picture with princess Minnie. Once we got to the pier there was a small “market” that we went to and Krissy, maddie and I got a dress and zach and tropical shirt. Dan got some marble carved turtles.
So we get to this “coral world” (which sounded a lot like a aquarium in the description) it’s small but we don’t have a lot of time on our hands. The first sign I see is – “do not feed the Iguanas”…..hmmm I am wondering – isn’t this about fish? Well, you know how its usually “don’t feed the squirrels or don’t feed the sea gulls” back home – here it is the pesky iguana! They were everywhere. So of course I got lots of pictures of them. And Dan was able to pet one! We saw the biggest, most beautiful sea turtles I have ever seen in water to crystal clear. Sharks and sting rays. We happen to catch feeding time so we got to see them get excited and swim around. We than almost missed out ride back to the boat – not to worry we made it – last ones on! The driver took us around to megans bay and a look out over where the ship was anchored. Zach and I were lucky enough to sit next to our Disney cruise line tour guide. His name is Brad and this was his first time working on the boat – he has always been on Castaway Cay. So we got some great tips from him about things to do there.
We get back to the boat and we are hungry, tired and hot. We come to the room and rest. The kids and I ran up one deck and got some food and brought it back – but we just hung out here. Dan and I had our reservation at Palo’s tonight at 8 so we wanted the kids to rest before going to the kids club.
The kids went up and traded pins with some of the crew and then we checked them into the kids club in time for goofys pajama party.
Dan and I had a great dinner together. I was stuffed! We headed back down and checked out the shops again and then got the kids. Maddie was excited because Tiana, belle and aurora all came into the kids club. They also got to color pillow cases. We are now back in our room heading to bed. Tomorrow is a day at sea! Chance of rain……..hmmmm
