After a lovely, relaxing lunch, we headed to our next stop, the Estate Mount Washington, which was an old cotton/sugar cane/rum making estate.  While the site is privately owned, the owners permit anyone to walk around the grounds. 

We were the only ones there, which wasn’t much of a surprise since we got lost three times trying to find the dirt road on which it was located. 

The grounds were beautiful.  We saw the remnants of the windmill,

several out-buildings, large basins, and a cart. 

The family’s dog greeted us as we arrived and kissed my legs as I walked around.  The location also has a labyrinth that, when open, people can walk while reflecting on their thoughts.  When we were there, it was under repair so we couldn’t walk it, however. 

Large wind chimes hung from a beautiful, massive tree while the wind gently blew. 

It truly was a serene estate that immediately made us feel relaxed.  It turned out that this was my favorite site that we have seen on St. Croix to date.
