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!!!
