Lilac & Ivy

Happy Monday to you! How was your weekend?

As I mentioned on Friday, Stephen planned a surprise for me and on Friday night I was told to pack an overnight bag with nothing but a summer dress, bathing suit and sunscreen. I didn’t know where we were going until we checked into the airport and printed our boarding passes. To my complete surprise and excitement, we were off for…

St. Thomas!

What a great getaway! I was starting to feel like a wilting flower with the seemingly never ending snow, ice, rain and gray clouds and needed it so much! I’d never been to this island and we met several very kind people. There wasn’t much time for anything but a few meals and time on the beach but it was definitely a welcome change! I fully enjoyed my almond crusted whitefish with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables while overlooking the pier, but the most memorable thing besides the crystal clear water and never ending sunshine was a conversation Stephen had with our cab driver:

Stephen: That place looks hoppin’. Should we go there for drinks after dinner?
Cabbie: No sir. Not you.
Stephen: Why not?
Cabbie: Sir, that’s the local whore house.

I hope you had a great weekend and are feeling relaxed and recharged! Cheers to a great week!
