Life's a Beach

Hello!

Next up on our Summer adventure tour of 2019: St. John's USVI!  Jason and I visited St. John's a few years ago for a brief time.  We felt like it was definitely worth coming back for a longer trip and bringing the kids.

St John's was impacted fairly recently by a hurricane, so some of the island is still rebounding. We were still able to find some incredible spots to snorkle and explore.  We stayed at the newly renovated Westin St. John's Resort and it was great.  The resort and the island in general is absolutely teeming with iguanas!

Quinn made a friend at the pool!

The fishing (all catch and release) around the islands was absolutely incredible. Here are the kids with barracudas that they caught.  We all caught so many fish and so many types of fish, we lost count!

My favorite spot on the island was Hansen's Bay where there is a private beach and a floating bar called Lime Out.  I had a massage on the beach that was quite possibly the best one I have ever had.  We had dinner at a really nice restaurant in town. The pace on the island was slow and it was a very relaxing trip.

A highlight of our trip was visiting BVI and The Baths - quite possibly the most striking beach scenery I have ever seen.

We wrapped up the trip with a visit to Jost Van Dyke and the famous Soggy Dollar Bar.

Thanks, St. John's, for showing us a great time! We will be back someday for sure.
