Adults Only

In August, Kim and Mark got married...In the Virgin Islands. So we packed up our stuff, farmed out our kids, and left on a plane for 4 glorious days. We were joined by Shannon, Nat, Jules and Jerry, and Tiff and Ron. Flying without kids was heaven...even enjoyable. We flew to Miami then hopped on a plane to St. Thomas, then a ferry over to St. John.




Once we arrived, we checked into our super cool hotel (Caneel Bay), had some cocktails, and changed into party clothes. We then headed out to a local spot for a welcoming party.



The next day, Kim and Mark had chartered a private boat for the wedding party. We spend the ENTIRE day soaking up the sun, snorkeling, and visiting different islands. We even got to spend some time at the World Famous, Soggy Dollar Bar. Friday night we did dinner with our small group.




Saturday was spent with the girls doing a shower for Kim and the boys snorkeling off one of the 7 private beaches at our hotel. None of them had their cell phones, so we were having a hard time deciding which beach to go and find them at. However, once we were told that their was only one beach that had a bar, we decided to try that one first. Lucky guess, because we found them right away and were able to join them for lunch.

Saturday night was the wedding...so pretty and SO MUCH FUN!! We headed home on Sunday after one of the best vacations I have ever been on. I can still be having a rough day and then I will think back of something that happened on the trip and that will make me smile (and wish I was back there).
