A day at the beach

My sister came to visit for Fourth of July weekend and so we headed to the beach! Even though it was raining (light showers) and windy...That didn't stop us but in fact, kind of made it even more fun! This amazing kite, the largest one I've ever seen, was being flown right over our heads. This kite was so incredibly graceful the way it would swoop down beside us and fly so fast up towards the sky. All of this while hearing the waves crash and feeling the cool salty breeze...Ahhhhh, it was one of my favorite kind of days...a beautiful one indeed!

Our fabulous honeymoon!

Romance...We spotted it...Lots of it on our honeymoon!

Seriously...The time of our lives! We spent our honeymoon relaxing in warm tropical breezes with our toes sunk deep in the white powdery sand of St. Thomas and St. John. Our beach front resort was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean. We spent our days "Young at Heart" exploring the town and culture of St. Thomas, eating delectable Caribbean cuisine, snorkeling in Trunk Bay (our absolute favorite spot!)... All while enjoying the refreshing and quite tasty "famous" rum runners which are always accompanied with fresh fruit...Just fabulous!

Almost there!!!
This was the view from the plane!


Pulling up to our resort in an open-air taxi !


Right outside of our beach bungalow!

We drank our morning coffee by the sea!

Breathtaking views everywhere!


We explored the island!


We climbed the rocky shore line of the beach!

Just us.

We found this special little restaurant
(Virgilios) tucked away in the town!


The inside of Virgilios was so eclectic with art
hung on every surface of the wall and magnificent
stained glass windows of these dream-like goddesses!
It was too beautiful and interesting not to share!

Newlyweds!

We went to art galleries!


We went snorkeling in Trunk Bay on St. John!
I can't wait to go back...It's now our most favorite place!


We drank the famous island rum runners
as we relaxed on the beach!

We caught every sunset!

I still can't get over the intense natural beauty
of this place and all of the vibrant colors too!

Waiting for the airport taxi to pick us up.
We were so sad to leave. :(

Goodbye sweet honeymoon!!!

Our vacation dreams did indeed come true! :)
