No matter where you go, when you get back from vacation, it takes some time to adjust. Now, not to rub it in, but when you go to St. John, you may never adjust back to reality. I had several conversations with folks that live on the island that said they went there for vacation and just never went home.
I had two boys, a dog, a job and a mortgage that drew me back home, but I can see how easily that could happen. Here are a few pics that I wanted to share with you from my trip. It truly was paradise. In the most perfect sense of the word.
If you have any inclinations to go, drop me an email and I’ll share some more details with you about the trip and give you a few pointers. As you can see, we had a pretty good time.

| Paradise. ‘Nuff said. Trunk Bay is rated one of the top beaches in the world, although if you visit, you can find more private and just as beautiful beaches. And yes, I took that picture. Hard to believe I didn’t pull it from a postcard, huh? |

| Somebody got his sleep on in a hammock hung between two palm trees. It’s rough, but someone had to do it. P.S. Yes, he does sleep with one eye open. |

| Perfection at Cinnamon Bay. Many a beer was consumed that day. |

| Pretty awesome. Looking back at Jost Van Dyke from the boat. |
Yep, the trip was wonderful. But, before you get too jealous, let me inform you that I am now wading through 1,472 emails.
Oh, and last but not least A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO GRAMMY AND GRAMPY (Jon’s parents) for managing the kids for 9 days. Dude. From a gal who knows, it ain’t easy. Thanks a ton and we owe you!
Congratulations on ‘discovering’ St John. Great pictures! You clearly have gotten the bug and will return! When you do make sure you discover some of the smaller beaches which are just as much fun to explore: Gibney is one of our favorites and Hart Bay for shell and coral collecting. Hard to find a ‘bad’ beach on St John. Come back soon!
Sure thing! Loved Gibeny… it’s our go-to beach. Also enjoyed Jumbee, but haven’t been to Hart Bay! Can’t wait to return to St. John. If you ever need a state-side blogger to do a formal review, let me know! 😉
