First Trip report day 5,6, &7

Post by STTlover »

Day 5 ,6 & 7

Day 5 was spent again at the pool soaking up the rays and reading. Around 3 we took showers and got ready to head over to STJ for dinner. We always make it a point to do a least one dinner over there during our trip. We caught the 5:00 ferry over and we were in luck as this ferry let us take our mango rum punches from the ferry bar with us!

My birthday and wedding anniversary fall on the same day which is Sept.15th. So earlier in the day I had convinced my husband to get me an early birthday present, I wanted another hook bracelet. He said fine, so when we got off the ferry we went straight to Freebird and I got not a hook bracelet, but the petroglyph bracelet. I love it!!! Then we headed up to St.John Spice to get some hot sauce the hubby had been wanting. Next stop Woody’s. We stopped and had some happy hour drinks till about 7pm there and then stumbled on over to Rumblines for dinner. The rest of the group had no clue where they were going as we walked through the convenience store, but once we got into the restaurant, they relaxed. We had tempura lobster and shrimp corn fritters to start. My BIL and I both had the tuna, my sister and hubby both had the filet, and my younger brother had a bunch of poo platter items. Delicious! We were stuffed and decided to take the 9 pm ferry back and then had a few drinks in Red Hook before taxing home.

Day 6
Some of the group was a little hung over from the night before, so we decided again just to stay around the pool and beach at Sapphire.

Again an incredibly hot day. Usually you get a wonderful breeze sitting at the pool, but not today it was hot. So the majority of the day was spent in the pool. My older sister, husband, and 1 yr old niece were arriving that evening so we got pizza’s from island time and hung out with them when they arrived and hit the hay early.
Day 7
Since this was my sister and her family’s first day we decided to make it a pool day.

We didn’t know how the baby was going to be w/ napping and everything so we stuck close to home. Luckily she settled in fine and there weren’t issues. This was their first STT vacation as a family of 3. She loved swimming in the pool and being with her Mimi, Gramps, and aunts and uncles. Love her!

Everyone had a few cocktails in the pool so we decided to order in from Caribbean Saloon for dinner. We sat out on the decks and talked and laughed for hours then headed to bed. Tomorrow was to be our last full day and we were going to do it at Megans!

Great trip report you've got going on here. We always stay at Sapphire too. Love it there. Does Caribbean Saloon deliver to Sapphire? Good to know if they do.
