PICTURES FROM PARADISE

Tuesday, September 20, 2016

ST. JOHN, USVI
AUGUST 2016


It is hard to describe something so beautiful.  We almost felt like we were living in a dream the entire week.  "Island Time" kicks in and all of the hassles of everyday living just fade away with the waves.  I think that is why God created paradises - so that we have an eternal promise of what heaven will be like.  This was as close as I will ever come to seeing Heaven, until the day I reach the pearly gates myself.  I LOVED it.  Mark did too, but you could tell he is more of a resort/hotel/swim up bar/golf kinda vacationer.  I like a little more action on my time away.  The first day I pulled out a map and got directions to the nearest gear rental (snorkel, kayak, etc), I could tell we were on two different pages!  This was right up my ally and I am so glad he jumped right in!  He ended up being the best snorkeler and we spent almost one entire day flipping around reefs chasing each other and picking up sea shells for Rose with our "gear" on....  Such a fun experience!!!  


Coral Bay 


An old sugar mill we hiked up to


Mark would not hike this trail..... ha ha ha 

Our amazing Suzuki Jimmy that  we rented for the week!!!  It was like folding a fitted sheet to get Mark's long legs into that thing!  ha ha ha...  

Openhimer and Gibney Beach


He was a good kayaker too

can you blame me for loving this view???

putting on his gear for my adventures...

Looks like so much fun, but I think I still have a bruise on my leg from that tire swing!  It hurt!!!
