Finally sharing our Grenada trip and a complete travel guide to help you plan your visit.

St. George's, Grenada (a travel guide)

Last month Jeff and I traveled to Grenada with our friends Ashley and Jared from Sugar & Cloth to celebrate Jared’s birthday and their engagement. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken — beautiful weather, amazing food, friendly people, and staying in an incredibly luxurious suite with its own private pool and jacuzzi.

Leaving felt a little heartbreaking, but we returned home with wonderful memories and a place I won’t soon forget.

The getaway was in partnership with Sandals Resorts. Full disclosure: I’d never stayed at a Sandals resort before this trip, and I’ll definitely go back.
