we got over the cost, use of personal days, distance from nyc, customs checks & international travel-- anguilla is english and st. marten is 1/2 dutch-1/2 french.
instead we focused on spending time with family, delicious food, exploring a tropical island, and working on our tans.
jason and i flew into st. martin a day early to spend a day at the dawn beach resort.
BK on the dutch side supports obama! 
we started planning the excursion and our eyes popped at the $600/night rooms rates at cap juluca, where the wedding was being held. noelle quickly decided a beach villa was the way to go and found an incredible property--beach access, separate houses, and a pool. sadly noelle and matt didn't make it but we enjoyed her work!
by the time we arrived at anguilla we had slowed down and adjusted to island time (nothing rushed, nothing is even close to being on time).
jason spends a lot of time with flip in hand--A LOT! here he is catching a video of our beach.
i'm changing my original "i don't like beaches" to "i like caribean beaches." the sand is smooth. the water is clear. a place i could actually relax! angelique, jason, and i spent saturday morning snorkeling in shoal bay. the reef and fish were breath-taking, and we saw a sea turtle!
actual wedding festivities coming soon to a blog near you...

Oh. It was painful to see these pictures. So beautiful. I love their politics too.
That looks like so much fun! And so pretty... I kind of can't believe you have had the stance that you hate beaches? Hawaii? Mexico?
how many electoral votes does st martin have?
yuck.
it doesn't even look like fun. and staying home and watching the cats was way better. you missed out on some great fish in westchester- salmon bits and gravy.
boo to limited vacation days.
Sounds like a dream.....
jason looks so happy floating there in the pool. Really, a face of pure joy.
are you coming to Utah for Christmas?
So Jealous!! What a fun trip to go on!!
what can i say? the man was born to float.
see you for christmas. don't worry we'll come to where ever you and that cute new baby are.
I don't know if I would say that Erica last time John and Ash had a brand new baby they lugged him to you guys on a NYC subway. Hold out and make them come to you.
Wow. What a lovely place for a vacation/wedding. And I hope you weren't hiding at the wedding; you and your dress were stunning. You should see if Dalton could spring for some more of those rock lobsters. Those looked tasty.
Wow, looks amazing! Jason, i hope you bring that turtle back to Utah for me for Christmas!!
