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?
I'd take this destination in a heartbeat…very beautiful! Texas is our next warm spot, can't wait, enjoy your trip! Janell
These pics are stunning. Mmmm we have had the hottest summer here in Australia so I am looking forward to rugging up and sitting by a fireplace somewhere in the wilderness x
I'm dreaming of Jamaica, we leave for there April 5th, we are celebrating our birthdays April 7th and April 8th and I can't wait. So tired of winter too!
Your picture are so beautiful, I just want to go there and not have to look at any clocks or watches.LOL

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.
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!
I'm dreaming of Hawaii. I'm headed there in a few months. Hope you have fun!
any destination really!!
my parents place in beautiful isla mujeres, mexico. doesn't get more relaxed than this place! lovely pictures, the color of that water is gorgeous!
love St. John! And I totally have a similar picture – just me on a floatie…with no one else in sight *aaaaaaah*
The water is gorgeous! Last time I was there was on our honeymoon many years ago…time to go back.
have fun!
Barbados has always been my most favorite vacation spot… I haven't tried St John yet though. Great photos!!
If it's warm, I don't have to make the bed, and don't have to cook, I am game for just about anywhere! LOL Have a great trip!!
Those pics are awesome! I love the Carribean.
Ah so gorgeous- I've never been further south than Florida- so sad. It looks just stunning!!
What a beautiful getaway! Love the blue skies and matching blue water…..but I have to admit…the waffle bar is sounding great right about now! That's our family favorite! Have fun!
I just started the photobook from me and hubs honeymoon (almost a year ago, oops) but Id give my left arm to be back there right now! Playa del Carmen, Secrets Capri Resort. Take me now!

Hope you guys had a wonderful trip for Spring Break! Your St. John pics are amazing and definitely making me want to head to the beach!
This is one of my favorite beaches in the whole world too, it is hard to beat the gorgeousness that is Trunk Bay and St. John in general!
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!

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!
