Next stop was St. Thomas, part of the US Virgin Islands. You could definitely tell this island was territory of the Good olde U.S. of A. We were able to get Subway.. my favorite!! While on St. Thomas we booked an excursion and went on the BOSS underwater scooters. It was awesome! They were little scooters that you rode on about 10-15 feet under the surface that had big bubbles(that make your head look tiny..enjoy the pics lol) that your head went up in and you just breathed normally. They took us out to an island off of St. Thomas to a place called Turtle Cove. The name Turtle Cove comes from all the Sea Turtles(obviously). According to our guide there was a certain type of grass that grew in that cove that the turtles eat. The under water scooters made it possible to get up close and personal to sea life. After our scooter tour Ryan was able to snorkel in the cove for about and hour. He saw some huge sea turtles, stingrays, and even a barracuda. The Turtles were not at all afraid of humans. A few of them surfaced right by Ryan while he was out snorkeling. Definitely one of our favorite stops!
