I told myself to limit this post to 20 pictures. That took me a whole week to accomplish. I'm certain I never did quite capture the pure aqua color of the water correctly, or the rugged beauty of the uninhabited islands. Best.Vacation.Ever. It will take a lifetime to top this one. Complete luxury, relaxation, fun, adventure...unplugged from everything. We spent our days sailing, hiking, paddle boarding, water skiing, snorkeling, swimming, exploring uninhabited white sand beaches. We swam up to bars you can only get to from the water. We spent our evenings anchored in coves watching sunsets, eating ridiculously yummy food by candle light, spotting sea turtles, drinking and chatting the night away with our friends. We'd wake in the mornings to breathtaking views and do it all over again - a new day and a new island to explore.

Big thanks to my parents for staying with the kids Sat - Sat and my inlaws for staying Sat - Tues. We obviously couldn't have enjoyed the trip without knowing the kids were home, safe, happy and loved.
