I have to say, there’s nothing quite like the nostalgic charm of a grilled cheese sandwich to whisk you back to the simple joys of childhood. I remember those lazy weekend afternoons, tucking into a melty grilled cheese made with those classic Kraft slices sandwiched between fluffy white bread, often paired with a steamy bowl of tomato soup. But as we've grown, so has the grilled cheese. It has evolved into a gourmet delight with endless variations—artisan bread, a mix of cheeses, and even some avocado or bacon for a modern twist. I think it’s safe to say, we've truly perfected this comforting classic.

St. Maarten will always be have a special place in my heart. We've visited St. Maarten twice. The second time we took a ferry over to St. Barts for the day. Talk about a dream vacation. St. Barts is definitely on my bucket list. You can also visit Anguilla. You can turn your trip into a 3 island trip which IMO is really cool. I never visited the French side but I've heard nothing but great things. I would totally bring my kids to visit St. Maarten. I would say the people there are the nicest people I have ever met. So grateful and appreciated of everyone visiting their beautiful island. It's home of the famous beach next to the airport. You can almost touch the bottom of the planes! You can also make your own perfume or cologne on the island. Definitely an island you need to experience!
