The Virgin Islands


Because I am a spoiled brat, Chris took me to the Virgin Islands for Valentine's Day!! We went straight to St. John and stayed on that island the whole time. We only went to St. Thomas for our flight and we were glad to get out of there. St. John is quiet and has a small town feel while St. Thomas is a cesspool of loud shop-keepers.
When we arrived on St. John we shopped around and took adorable pictures on stairs =)
When we got to our hostel we were excited!  The view was unreal.  We were up on a cliff over
 looking the water.  The room was a little rustic.  It had plywood floor, tin roof, and was walled in by screening!  We could hear the birds and water all night long, it was amazing!







The first day we went snorkeling on Trunk Bay which was beautiful.  Unfortunately it was too rough and we couldn't see anything so we trekked to the other side of the island to a cove where we saw great coral reefs.  It took about an hour by bus and then we hitched a ride back with a nice couple from Colorado.  We were both pretty tipsy by the time we got back to the main downtown area so we stayed for some more drinks and wasted the night away laughing and
 talking.  

The next day we went to our next place, a campsite with beachfront cabins.  This place was also very cute and quite close to the other place, but my heart was still at the first hut we stayed at =)  I can't really remember what we did the next day, but we were definietly partying and having a wonderful time.

It was a great little get-away and the most amazing Valentine's Day present I have ever gotten!!
