{Dreaming} St. John

We have headed out of town for a little Spring Break road trip. The destination is not exotic, but does have an indoor pool and waffle bar, so the kids will be thrilled!

This is about the time of year I begin to tire of winter, and long for warmer temperatures and flip-flops. I thought I’d share the beach I’ve been dreaming of…St. John in the USVI. It is our favorite….so far!

Enough of these dead winter landscapes…I’m ready for some life!

To sit, with no where to be and nothing to do….aaaaahhhhh!

Where the only traffic is a moseying donkey or baby goat.

To relax and enjoy my sweetie!

I can almost feel the sun on my face now. Puxatony Phil didn’t see his shadow this year, so here’s hoping Spring is here to stay, and Summer is just around the corner! What warm destination are you dreaming of these days?

    St. John is one of our favorite destinations. We've already been about 3 times in our 6 years married. I actually informed my husband a couple of weeks ago that we were due this summer for another trip. It has such beautiful beaches. We always rent a jeep and just go beach hopping, with snorkel gear in tow and fruity drinks in a cooler. We've gone sailing to the islands close by and on a dingy throughout the island. I LOVE that place.

  5. Absolutely gorgeous! I'm thinking it is so overdue to go on a great vacation with our family…but I use the term *great* very loosely because the kiddos always dictate how it goes! Have a great Spring Break!

    Hi Cass-

    I found your site via YHL and happen to be looking for a 3rd anniversary vacation destination! St. John looks awesome! Can you recommend places to stay? Recommendations for best area to stay?

    Thanks in advance!

  28. Hi Nicole! St. John would be an amazing honeymoon spot! I've never seen a prettier beach.

    There aren't a lot of places to stay on the island bc it's small and 70% of it is state park. Depending on your budget, I think Caneel Bay is the nicest place, and I know their beach is stunning (Honeymoon beach!) We actually rented a cottage through VRBO on the other side of the island. I think it'd be hard to go wrong anywhere on the island, especially if you have a water view. Plan on renting a Jeep to get around and explore all the beaches…each more beautiful than the last.

    If you need more info, feel free to email me directly! Have fun and happy anniversary!
