Iguana’s, kayaking, beaches, sunsets.

Isn’t he just adorable?! Freaky is more the word. There are tons of them around here in St. Thomas and all around our hotel. We were able to photograph some of them up close and personal!

I call this one Godzilla (for you Kelly and Conner)! These pups are quite large and scary looking!

Over on the island of St. John we saw all these Kayak’s ready and waiting for people to hop and and enjoy the ride……

Here is the beach area right outside our hotel door. I love the bright yellow umbrellas don’t you?My sandy toes……………
My hubby and daughter walking through the hotel area and beautiful bougainvillea flowers.

The hubs, Madeline and her hubby Peter on the ferry headed over to St. John’s island.I tried to frame the water hitting the rocks below with the palm tree branches. This was the sunset at the end of the day…

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
