It's been a couple of years since my son and I went on vacation. We usually take a ski trip with the family, but between moving last year, and job issues (before I decided upon self-employment) the year before, it's been a few years.
Since my son has always wanted to go to "paradise", and I'm pretty much happy on ANY beach, we decided to go to St. John. I was there about 16 years ago for just a day, and have always wanted to go back. Plus, there's this really cool campground that I've always wanted to stay at. By "camping", I mean very rustic little screen-sided cabins, and public restrooms, and cold showers. It was the best vacation EVER though!!! We had a great time together, and I really hope it's something he remembers for a long, long time. I definitely know I will!!
I didn't take my "big" camera with me, but here are a few I snapped with my point-and-shoot. It's a Canon Powershot and I LOVE it. It even took the little video at the end of this post. GREAT camera! Unfortunately, it came home with a few issues, most likely related to the sand and bouncing around in the taxi. Oops! But see why I didn't take my other camera??? :)
