On Vacation... Kinda. [Part 1]

I dont even know where to begin or end. The last week Jake was here was super fun. I enjoyed exploring and feeling like I was on vacation with him! Even when I went to work I felt like I was on vacation. Long hair dont care at work... Im on vacation! haha.

We had two adventure days that were a lot of fun. Sunday we did the Bad Kitty trip to the BVI like I had done when Dana was here. We got to explore a little bit more of the Baths the second time around. I could have stayed there for hours roaming around the rocks. I also got to take an awesome split level picture:
We were lucky enough that the waves were more relaxed and we got to swim into the baths! That was a new fun experience as well. Then we got to have a grand ole time snorkeling and relaxing on the beach. It was super fun.

After we got back from the boat, it was time for us all to head to carnival. Its a big party, festival in town. By the time we got there however, I was exhausted from our long day and I just wanted to go to bed. 

Tuesday was another adventure day! We started our day standing in a ridiculously long line to get our ferry tickets. It was a Disney day so the cruise ships were in town and everyone wanted to get on the ten o'clock ferry... Ty, Jake and I were talking about how we were going to get to our hiking trail. "Either the bus or a taxi" Ty said. The guy in front of us turned around and said "Are you talking about the taxi over here? It was super cheep! Only $10!" Ty kinda laughed a bit and said "no, no we are talking about when we get over to St. John." The guy looked a little disappointed at the fact that he couldn't spark small talk with us and turned around. Thats when I leaned over to Jake and said "Thats an expensive taxi... The safari is only $2 to get over here." Damn tourists, except you Jake :P

Once we got over to St. John, we hopped on the dollar bus to take us to the other side of the island. From there we started our hike. The first part of the hike was straight up a dangerous dirt road that was super steep. It was really hot and mostly in the sun, I felt like I had taken a shower in my own sweat.

Once the road leveled off and turned into a trail, it was an amazing hike. There were beautiful views and different plants. You could see blue water for miles.



Then we came upon the first of the ruins. It was an old estate that looked like it would have been beautiful in its prime. It was a really fun place to explore and eat lunch. It was just us there, nobody else.

Then was the second set of ruins which had an archway that showcased a beautiful view of the bay below with blue waters and sailboats. We had a fun time climbing and exploring there too. 

Then down the dusty trail to the bay where we walked along the rocky beach to the Annaburg ruins. We saw a deer with fuzzy little horns on the way.

After taking naps, drinking almond tea, exploring Annaburg and rehydrating, we went on an adventure to our next location. This part of our day was mostly wandering around....

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it. Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments... Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested! Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get s...

Tree Tomato Juice in the Galapagos

The last day in the Galapagos! Ty and I wanted to get in one last snorkel and per our favorite travel agent we decided to hit up Charles Darwin beach early in the morning. We all woke up early in the house to go on our morning adventures. The girls were going to the Charles Darwin Research Center, my parents were going to hang out at the research center and the beach and Ty and I were going snorkeling. Tide was low and rocks that we swam over last time were now jutting out of the water. We put on our thickest wetsuits (that we brought) and slowly got into the freezing water. There were two older ladies who were wading in the water as well and giggled at us as we squealed at the cold water. They told us to have a good snorkel and we were on our way. It was cool to see a little closer to all the small fishes and rocks since the tide was out but we really didn't see much. We were not out for long when we got really cold and bored (when you see sharks, turtles and rays on all you...
