Weekend in Paradise

Starting school is never fun, so whats better than a couple of days in the Caribbean? My parents were staying for a week in St.John, Virgin Islands, so I joined then for 4 days last weekend. My first time on a Caribbean island.

I think a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll post a couple here to get a taste of the weekend. It consisted of a lot of snorkeling, especially from our personal "beach", and hiking around the mountains. Oh and lots and lots of run cocktails. I would have an alcoholism problem if I lived there.

Some of the flowers outside of my window. There was also humming birds all around buzzing along with the gentle breaking of the waves.

The spiders made spider-webs across huge distances and sat in the middle of them.

The path for one of our hikes. I was a little freaked out first time I looked up (we were hiking down at that point). It felt like the tree roots were going to attack me.

On top of a beautiful hike. We later went snorkeling about where my feet are. :)

My first snorkeling location. Took a lot of practice before learning to breathe through my mouth and not nose.

Stairs leading from our 'house' to our own personal beach. :)
View from my bedroom. :)

Coral Bay. Biggest town nearby.


I loved the Virgin Islands. Hope to come back. Check out the other islands, or more of St.John. In general, I want to see more of the Caribbean or other islands. Now what will be spring break? Jamaica? Cancun? Hawaii?
