"We're Yachting" Part II

ok, yall...this is pic OVERLOAD!  Friday morning we woke up to a great breakfast and headed to Peter Island.  It was about an hour and a half boat ride so we all went to the top deck to get some sun.


Bye St Thomas!
I thought St Thomas was so gorgeous, I had no idea the beauty we were about to see!
There's Morgan bringing in the "tender"
Hubs and Me
Captain Adrian
Jason and his Aggie koozie!  LOL  The thumb was kind of funny sticking out of it
Us girls sat on the hot tub...girls together
boys together!
The trip there was so pretty!  I prob took 50 pics of the water on the way.  I'd see a little spot and be like "oh, that's pretty" then another 5 seconds, another pretty spot. 

During the ride, we had a delicious lunch, and some Cakebread :)  Perfect!
We're here!  Peter Island is a private beach and the Peter Island Resort is the only resort or hotel on the island.  We heard that Kate Winslet was there the week before us!  They have a marina/dock for yachts to use.  We didn't even have to get off the boat to check into customs {we were in the British Virgin Islands}.  One of the other stewmates, Jake, got on the tender with our passports and checked us in!


Chelsea and Jason
Hubs and I
Peter Island isn't really that big - just a close up of the island.  We were in "Deadman's Bay".  There's an old tale about pirate Black Beard, he left leaving his men on this island and they tried to swim back but they drowned so they call this "Deadman's Bay."  Kinda creepy, but so pretty lol
Walking down to the beach
Isn't this GORGEOUS!!!!!  The sand felt like sugar and the water was SO clear!  We felt like we were in a Korona commercial.  The beach was so secluded.  There was us 8, and maybe a few other people.  The next day it was busier, but that day it was so quiet.
our lounge area
BFFs
water shot!
The Chelseas
The Resort, was great.....however, the drinks were like $15 a piece!  This was the best drink I prob have ever had!  It was passion fruit on the bottom, topped with white wine and champagne.  SO good!
We got a few drinks at $15 a piece, then got beers from the boat lol  Jason's banana daiquiri was to die!
While we were at the bar, Chelsea fell fast asleep!  She's 1st anesthesia resident who works 80++ hours a week so she needed her rest.  On another note, have you ever seen a prettier Dr, don't think so!  Sleepy girl!
After the beach we came back to watch the Masters
Dinner was served and pretty much every night after we all played Apples to Apples
Yay!  Debbie!
Love them!
After this pic we all walked to the beach, got there came home and went to bed lol 
The next day we went to the beach again.  Jason's dad found a conch shell while snorkeling.  We later had conch fritters, they were so good! 
Kelly heading out snorkeling again.
After a day at the beach everyone got on the tender to go watch the sunset.  I don't really like boats in general {the yacht is different lol} so I didn't go. 
They said it was the prettiest sunset they'd ever seen
Saturday morning we got up and a guy from the resort came and drove us up to a look out spot.  We all piled in the van and up the hill we went.
Our driver, it's still so weird to me they drive on the other side of the road.  Driving on the edge of the road up was kinda scary lol
So pretty!!!!! 
Paradise!

There's a "Sun-downer" spot up there too.  Bring wine, sit in these chairs and watch the sun set.  I bet it's amazing!
Sorry if these blogs are kind of slow coming.....there's lots of pics to sort through, etc.  Coming up, is Jason and Danny paddle boarding, our food, the amazingggggg Baths and our last day.  

We're off to take Ambs to her 18 month appointment.  Can you believe she's 18 months already!?

Hope you all had a great weekend!
