Jepson Family Caribbean Cruise
Cruise Details
Sunday June 15th - San Juan, Puerto Rico - This that you see behind Chris is Castillo San Felipe Del Morro. It was a fort built by Spain to keep out pirates and other countries trying to take over San Juan. It was under several different countries until the U.S. invaded and took possession of the Island. (Jen's version of the story is always watered down and not as interesting as the tour guides :)
Monday June 16th - St. Thomas *USVI* One of the most beautiful islands, it is know for it's shopping and we went to Megan's Bay (voted top 10 most beautiful beaches in the WORLD). We had a ton of fun snorkeling and shopping.
Tuesday June 17th - Dominica - This day we went into the rain forest and hiked to a waterfall. The people on this island were very poor and it is just changing it's focus from bananas and fa
rming to tourism. It is the most untouched by the outside world.

Thursday June 19th - St. Lucia - We went on a pirate ship and Chris got to sail the boat and act like the pirate captain. They also fired off cannons and we had a treasure hunt. Another one of my favorite islands!
Friday June 20th - Antigua - This day was rainy and so we took a tour of the island by bus. We went to a old boat yard. It had the most amazing hotel there, I would love to go back and stay in some time. This island is still under British control I think.
Saturday June 21st - St. Kitts, WI - This was also one of my favorite islands. They had beaches where you could snorkel amongst sunken ships, we went to a beach and found a beautiful place to snorkel. Chris was a natural, once I get out underwater pictures back I will post some. There were also monkeys all over. Chris got to pet one, unfortunately we did not get a picture of it though.
Sunday June 22nd - San Juan, Puerto Rico - We finished back up in San Juan. We had an amazing time and had a ton of fun with the Jepson family. We would love to go back to some of the islands some day.
