A Bit of Dreaminess

In March Rob was miraculously able to get out of work for a long weekend and things worked out for us to go to St. Thomas together. It was such a blessing to spend time together again! We had so much fun!

So ready to play in the sun!

Magan's Bay: First stop at the beach



Our room ended up with a pretty view!

Our fun patio
The guys


Coral World Ocean Park and Coki Beach Snorkeling
Cool underwater observation tower.

There were windows two stories down to provide non-scuba divers great views.

Rob feeding a sting ray



James loved chasing the wild iguanas!

So nice to be together!!

We snorkeled at Coki Beach that afternoon and had the famous fresh mango smoothies there (yum= mangos, ice, and cream of coconut)

We found excuses to get dressed up at night, even if it meant an exotic trip to the gift shop snacks for dinner :)

Trunk Bay in St. John
St. John is a beautiful National Park Area...and Trunk Bay, a great place to snorkel! We tried pulling James around in an tube while we snorkeled, but it scared him! He had a lot more fun running into the water to Dad.



Father Son Bonding time. This was so precious!

Boat ride back to St. Thomas

Exploring Charlotte Amalie


Our last night we went to Havana Blue for dinner. It was amazing!


Our first time in the pool! The morning before we got on the plane! Ironic.

This is how we all felt at the end of our trip:
In love with the sun and my boys

Dreading heading back to the grind

Exhausted!

The pictures made me really happy and I'm so glad you got family time.

I'm also glad you went to Trunk Bay. Had you been before? What did you think?

I cannot wait for the babies to play!! The last picture with James asleep with the mac n' cheese is priceless.

Love you!
