virgin gorda. days 1-2

"therefore, i urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is true worship." -romans 12:1

ok so i have FINALLY gotten around to blogging about virgin gorda! first of all, let me say that this was an amazing trip and i feel so blessed to have been a part of the experience. i tried so many new things during those 10 days and had such a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Winters family. secondly, much like my nyc post, some of the pictures are mine, but most of these pictures were taken either on my cell phone or by larry winters, matt lee, or tara. so please enjoy this conglomeration of photos! (and thank you to everyone for letting me share your pictures with my followers!)

on saturday, november 19, we took a flight to atlanta, and then atlanta to st. thomas. when we landed in st. thomas they took us straight to another boarding area where we got on two small planes and a helicopter. here are some views from my plane ride (i was kind of freaking out so theyre not the best pictures)



and some views of our villa from the helicopter..





tiniest runway ever!

i was so happy when we landed on virgin gorda!





after going through customs and getting in our cute little mini-SUVs, we went straight to our villa that we would be staying in for the next 10 days: sol y sambra.

welcome!

the living room.


dining room/kitchen.


the infinity pool.



me and kim's room!

gym.

the tennis court/man cave.

the whole crew after our tour of the house.

after we got settled that afternoon, everyone walked down the steps behind the pool to the beach in front of our villa. the beach at our place was so awesome - the water was gorgeous, the sand was so soft and white, and there were tons of rocks to climb on!







the next morning, we decided to get up and spend the day on the beach. seriously, how beautiful is this?

we all went snorkeling...







and climbed lots of rocks. the guys were even doing flips off of them! (sadly, we have no evidence)

we did climb this HUGE set of rocks though, and look at the view we had from the top!

the guys went even higher than us. pretty awesome view from up there i bet!

proud of us girls for climbing rocks like monkeys!

that night we enjoyed a beautiful sunset...

and some delicious takeout from a local restaurant.

i may or may not have been at the most beautiful place on earth. stay tuned: days 3-10 coming soon!
