A day on Anguilla Island

Holdyn and I made a trip to the British island, Anguilla. It is only about 7 or so miles north of St. Maarten. We can see the island of Anguilla from our balcony. Anyway, I packed up everything for the day and we left about 9:30 with a good friend, Candace. We had our passports checked and we got on a ferry boat in Marigot. It only took about 25 minutes on the boat to get there. Here is Holdyn on our Ferry ride over. We rented a car (which we drove on the left side of the road....YIKES!!) and went to pick up our friend Ashley and her boys at the airport. They flew over in a small plane. Then our next stop was this little water park. It is actually behind a hotel and right on the beach. It was fun to swim in chlorine again! There was a waterslide and this big ship that kids could play on. It was small but very fun for kids...and moms. Well, our next stop was lunch!! We went to a little place on a different beach and enjoyed some YUMMY cheeseburgers and fries...they definitely hit the spot! Here is another picture at the restraunt we were at. I wanted you to see the beautiful blue ocean in the background. This is also Carter, one of Ashley's 3 boys that came with us. Here is a picture of us swimming at another pool. This was next to the restraunt and the beach is straight behind the palm trees. You can see the beach umbrella's. Here is a photo of Ashley and her two other boys Reese and Gavin, and Candace is on the right. Anyway, we went to the beach for a few minutes then rinsed off in the showers and hopped in the pool. Here is Holdyn and me.....as you can see she is really enjoying the day! It is a good thing we were almost ready to catch the ferry back home. This time we got to ride on the top of the ferryboat. It was fun being able to see out and around as well as have the fresh air blowing in our faces the whole ride back to St. Maarten. This last picture is St. Maarten. It looks huge from Anguilla. Oh, for those who may be wondering where Ben and the other Hubby's were......they were at school, of course, studying their little brains out for their exams Monday! We wish them the best of luck on these last exams!!
