Night time ferry ride

We went to visit some friends yesterday on St. Thomas. We took our car and did some shopping while we were over there. We spent the afternoon on the beach with Scott and Crissie McCormack and then had dinner with them. When it was time to head out we had to leave our car in St.Thomas since we missed the last car ferry. We took the people ferry back to St. John. The kids were so exicted. Check one item of the list of things "they want to do". The ride home has been my most favorite moment so far here. When the ferry captain turned off his spot light, the moon lit up the night. The moon illuminated the mountains around us and the clouds. You could see the big dipper hanging on the edge of the ocean getting ready to spill out its contents. The clouds raced across the sky casting shadows on the ocean. All of this as we jet across the ocean to our lovely little island dotted with lights. Just beautiful!
