And we come to an end

So here we are on the last night of our vacation. It was a really memorable time. I think we were in the best spot that we could have picked on the island. We were close to all the big restaurants and stores, but our beach was totally secluded (as you can see from the pictures). Tish and I managed to circle the entire island in two driving tours, which was pretty cool. As a vacation destination, I would totally recommend it, especially if snorkeling is the most strenuous water activity planned. It is totally amazing. There's lots and lots to see, and you don't have to rent special charters to go see it.

So here are some pictures that close out our vacation.

But first.. a girl can never have enough shoes...

We all went on a sunset cruise which included the sun setting, followed by dinner. It was impressive that they could guarantee both.

The obligatory sunset picture

Someone liked dinner...

Tish's dad chartered a boat to take them deep sea fishing. I wasn't so much into the idea of baking in the sun for several hours, so I stayed back with the kids. So.. how did it go?

The bait was cast...

The captain tried to find a good spot...

But.. ummm.. oh fishy.. where are you?

And after six hours.. huge catches by all three!

These fossils reminded me of our vacation in the Bahamas

Oh.. Armaan wants you to check out his digs in the corner

The last sunset of our stay

On our last night, we went to eat at this really cool restaurant called Bed

You can see how each booth is curtained off. Makes for a really intimate setting. And the food was really good too!

So that's it. Tomorrow we have to take the long journey back. But I think we're ready to get back. The kids have been great, but I think they are feeling a bit neglected, and overwhelmed by the constant doing of things every day. Both of them would just like some quiet quality time with us. The next post will continue life back in Chicago. Not as picturesque, but still fun to read!
