My wife and I recently celebrated our 10th anniversaty by staying at an inn on the island of St. John. Great place. If you ever get a chance to go, do it. Most of the island is a state park, so a good portion of it remains tropical paradise, even if it was clear cut for sugarcane 300 years ago. This was our first real solo (duo) vacation since our 3rd anniversary. Coincidentally, our eldest child is 6.

There are no correlations among those facts.

None whatsoever.

Honest.
