villa tranquility. our home in paradise.

we're home from a wonderful week in paradise! friends invited us to join them on a spontaneous trip to St. Thomas and we immediately jumped at the opportunity... as did three other couples. the eight of us - me + danny, matt + jenny, colby + jake, tiffany + troy - spent a week together in the Virgin Islands. we stayed at our friend's family home on St. Thomas which was absolutely amazing. while it would have been easy to just hang around the house (more like a boutique hotel) each day, we kept a full schedule... we spent a day at St. Thomas' famous Magen's Bay, one day we took a ferry to St. John to explore the island and Trunk Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and another day we chartered a private boat and captain for a full-day tour of the British Virgin Islands.... 

Lots more photos and details from each day coming soon. First, here's "Villa Tranquility" our home in paradise.
