January in St. John, USVI

January 6th, Georgia and I flew to Miami, overnighted there, and then flew on the St. Thomas for the ferry ride over to St. John.  We stayed a week at the Westin on Cruz Bay and enjoyed the wonderful weather, the warmth, and the scenery.  We were joined there by Bill and Jennifer Earner.  Bill was my roommate at the Naval Academy, and he and Jennifer have hosted us on numerous occasions in Annapolis.  We rented a car, toured the island and its National Park, hiked to the beach on the Reef Bay trail (1,100 foot elevation drop), and enjoyed wonderful sea food.

Here are some pictures of the week:
