5 Years For Us

I was so so so glad that tropical storm Ernesto decided to stay south of the Virgin Islands so that Clarke and I could spend the weekend over on St John for our 5 year Anniversary. We stayed at the Westin which was so much fun!

The Westin was also so nice to upgrade us to a beach front room (I purposely mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary) and it did not disappoint! Even though the storm didn't hit us it did bring some wind and clouds so our first day there wasn't as picturesque as I would have liked, but it's still pretty.

We enjoyed an exceptionally delicious dinner at the Prime restaurant at the resort. The food and the scenery were awesome!

Good ole tap water but this some how makes it much fancier by putting it in this bottle!

Tuna tartar for appetizer

This steak was to die for!

We sat around and talked back and forth with this parrot and his other parrot friends.

Even though we've been to St John numerous times now, this felt like we were on vacation. It was so much fun and hopefully we'll be able to do this again!

Of course the weather was much nicer the day we leave! Doesn't that always seem to happen??

Oh and thanks so much Mom for our care package! I think I'm all set on Crystal Light for a while! :-)

It's Beginning!

We have our first tropical storm/possible hurricane headed our way:

We are not in the direct projected path of this thing, but it will still cause lots of rain and wind. Of course this happens on the weekend Clarke and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We splurged on a very expensive non refundable hotel on St John. If the winds are too strong we won't be able to take the ferry over. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't dampen (pun definitely intended) our anniversary weekend!

On a side note: we have finally conquered the mosquitoes! We've been mosquito free inside our house for the last 5 days! Oh hallelujah! We realized there was a large gap at the top of one of our sliding glass doors and a little paper towel jammed in it did the trick!
