First Camping Trip of the Year

Last weekend John and I went camping with a group of friends to Palisade State Park. It was our first time there, but it was a ton of fun! I don't know if I really consider it camping since there were showers, flushing toilets and nice soft grass to pitch our tents on, but it was still super fun! We got to go fishing and relax in inner tubes on the lake that was right next to the campground, which ended up being the highlight of the trip. Pics below like usual! :)

British Virgin Islands/Puerto Rico

We're back! John and I just spent 10 amazing days sailing around the British Virgin Islands and spending a night in Puerto Rico. We had SO much fun and are so happy we were able to go on this vacation. It was very much needed and we got to do a lot of relaxing and snorkeling, which in my book are two of the best things there are, haha. Below are some pics of our trip, but there are a ton more uploaded to Facebook if you're interested. These pictures are in no particular order, but check them out!

Beautiful beaches!

Beautiful sunsets!

We saw lots of wildlife, like this iguana...

Our group all dressed up for the pirate party.

All of us with Michael Beans (the man on the left), the pirate party guy, before the show.

John won a conch blowing contest and was named "King of the Conch."
He won a six pack of beer and a bottle of rum.

Yummy! Fresh lobster for dinner.

My handsome hubby lounging on the boat.

John tried a little fishing, but with no luck.

Jeff, Ashley, me and John with Foxy, a local celeb in the BVI.
He owns his own bar/restaurant on Jost Van Dyke called Foxy's, naturally.

Walking down the street in Road Town, Tortola.

The indoor courtyard of our hotel in Old San Juan.

The hotel's rooftop terrace had a bunch of random
bath tubs...we think it was supposed to be "art?"

PR has a lot of cats. This one really liked John.

This picture is so funny to me. This cat hung out with us all night.

A Catholic church in PR near our hotel.

Another church, built in the late 1800s. Very beautiful!

All ready to go snorkeling!

April = My Birthday/Easter

Yay! I'm blogging! And it's only been a month since my last post...this is progress! I don't have a lot of time but thought I'd put up some pics of my birthday fun last weekend and the Easter eggs we dyed this week. Enjoy!!

We spent a few hours shopping at City Creek on my birthday.

One of John's gifts to me...I had to post it because it's so beautiful!!

We had lunch at Bruges Waffles & Frites. SO good!

Just a short time until we leave for our vacation to the BVI...and we can't wait! It's been so much fun planning for it and getting ready, and now we are ready for some R&R and island fun!! I'll be sure to post pics of all our adventures.
