St. John Trip!

    Holy guacamole!!! This trip was AMAZING! If you have the opportunity, you must go! This past week my 3 girlfriends and I went to St. John (USVI) for our Senior Spring Break Trip. Our last HOORAH before we graduate....in literally less than 2 months.....WOAH. That's a whole nother story.

    So we leave for St. John on March 2nd and stay until the 9th. Flying out of Reagan in D.C., to Miami, then St. Thomas, and then finally a ferry over to St. John! Such a long day of travel, but totally worth it. The house that we stayed at was called the "Pink Inner Tube". Home of a close friend of Holly's with a GORGEOUS view. Look at that!! ---->
God's creations are beautiful!

    Throughout the week we traveled through the island to many of the bays that they have. Maho Bay, Francis Bay, Caneel Bay, Trunk Bay...the list goes on and on! The whole island is only about 9 miles, but the road wind through beautiful terrain and make the drives that much more exciting! We had the opportunity to snorkel and LITERALLY swim with the turtles. :D We also saw sting rays, many fish, coral, and then humming birds, mongoose, and almost a tarantula. Hiking was my absolute favorite part! We hiked through the National Park and did our own hike up Ram head Trail. There were so many places to stop and just take in the beauty. It was so calming and really allowed me to soak in everything that was going on. This is one of the breaks in the trail to see the ocean!  (picture above, to the right).

If you want a great mix of being in the outdoors, more isolate, but still within driving distance to a town, GO HERE. St. John was not "Americanized" or touristy which is great! I would absolutely love to go again.

Hopefully you all had a relaxing, fun break as well!! Make sure to thank God for all your blessings :) I found this last picture on pinterest and I thought it would be a great way to wrap up this post!
