Arrived back on the mainland from our honeymoon late Thursday night and have been busy catching up with friends and family this past weekend. My husband and I had had such a great time relaxing in the Virgin Islands for our honeymoon. When we were deciding where to go for our honeymoon we were torn. We love to travel (we have traveled all around Asia in the past and a little bit of Europe) and I have been yearning to go to another country. We were set on Europe, but monetarily it just was not in the budget this year after paying for most of our wedding. Hawaii maybe? But again, it was adding up to be super expensive and just as much as Europe. Both places we would be zipping around wanting to see
everything. So we decided to go somewhere we knew we could relax and have a good time. We have been going to the Virgin Islands just about every few years or so and we love it. We have been to many places there so we wouldn't feel like we would have to rush around here and there. They also have snorkeling right from the beaches. It also fit in our budget! We stayed half the trip in St. John (I posted a little about it in my
previous post) and the last half in St. Thomas. Here is a little picture re-cap from our honeymoon :)

| We stayed at a little B&B called "Two Sandals by the Sea Inn" while on St.Thomas. The owner, Helen, made delicious baked goods each morning served with fresh yogurt and a hard boiled egg. Fresh coffee and juices as well :) |

| Entrance to our B&B. We love the rustic feel! |

| Hanging at the beach for the day. Playing with my iPhone camera apps hehe. |

| More fun with my iPhone camera on the beach. |
 |
| We took a boat charter tour to the BVI one day. It was one of my favorite days while in the islands! We visited the "Baths" in Virgin Gorda, Marina Cay for lunch, Diamond Reef for snorkeling, and Jost Van Dyke for fun and relaxation. If you're ever in the Virgin Islands, I recommend this tour for sure! |

In the end we had a great time! Made new friends while we were there and came back with a nice tan :) I also made a really cute and easy memory jar to remember our honeymoon.
 |
| While in the islands I saved some sand and shells to bring home. I put them in an antique blue mason jar we had used at our wedding. Then I put a picture from our honeymoon inside. It's so cute and rustic. The pic is our feet on a hammock while we were in St. John. What I love is you can change out the pic whenever you want too. |
So now I have been home for a few days and was able to use the time to catch up with friends and family. I also realized over the weekend that I have only 3 more weeks before schools starts!! Crazy how fast this summer goes. Headed to the beach for a few days tomorrow, but will share some more school stuff I've been getting into later this week on the blog. ~Cara Lee
