Dear Family and Friends,

Welcome to our honeymoon page!

We feel very fortunate to have been many places together already, but we have yet to experience a strictly "indulgent" vacation...and now as a married couple!

We will be traveling to the island of St. Thomas to celebrate our honeymoon. Since we are getting married the first weekend of our school Spring Break, we are excited to enjoy a relaxing vacation!

This island has so much to offer: from snorkeling and sailing to golfing and parasailing, St. Thomas serves as the perfect island playground. We both love to get out and see everything, so this seems like the best combination of relaxation and exploration.

We hope to see everyone at the wedding!
All our love,
Erin and Jon

We're going to St. Thomas!

St. Thomas is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The island is close to both St. Croix and St. John, and we hope to visit both on our honeymoon visit. A fairly mountainous region, St. Thomas has many attractions and small towns to see.
We're excited to explore the landscape but VERY excited to spend some time in and near the beautiful Caribbean sea.
