Honeymoon Cliff Notes
So it has been awhile. The wedding is over, phew! It was fantastic and fun and I will have more posts about that later but I thought I would give you the Honeymoon in Cliff Notes. If you want to see the pics visit our smug mug page.
Wedding Night: Stayed at the Westin DFW and had chocolate covered strawberries and champagne.
Day 1: Flew to Ft. Lauderdale and stayed at the The Atlantic hotel. They upgraded us to the penthouse suite. It was crazy awesome! Had delicious dinner at Charley's Crab. They printed our names on the menu. Tres fancy!
Day 2: Went to beach in Ft. Lauderdale. Tried to swim in Ocean but waves knocked me on my butt. Boarded the cruise ship, checked out our room (not quite the same as the penthouse), and completed the muster drill (in case the boat sinks). Lot's of jokes about mustard versus mayo ensued. Had worlds strongest drink. Became slightly overwhelmed with the sheer amount of things to do on a cruise and exhausted ourselves.
Day 3: Stopped in Key West. Went on Ghost and Legends walking tour, visited Butterfly Conservatory, took picture at the southernmost point in the US, visited Tony's Pirate Bar (oldest bar in Florida), ate Key Lime Pie, and boarded ship. Got dressed up for formal night and went to dinner but was really windy outside and Mark got sea sick. Went back to room early, watched movies, and took silly pictures.
Day 4: Stopped in Cozumel. Went on the ATV and Beach Adventure. Rode ATV's through the jungle, visited mayan spring and caves, got very muddy, went to Beach, ate best Fajitas ever, drank yummy drinks. Boarded ship, had dinner, went to spa and got massage, and relaxed.
Day 5: Stopped in Belize. Went on Snorkel and Private Island Excursion. Took a boat out to coral reef. I snorkled and Mark drank free rum punch. Went to private island called Bannister Caye and relaxed. Took tender boat back to cruise ship. Went to dinner, attended hilarious "Love and Marriage Game Show", and went to bed exhausted.
Day 6: On board boat all day. Slept until almost noon and had room service. Played trivia, gambled, and packed up. Went to dinner, went to farewell show, and went to bed early.
Day 7: Boat docked at 7am. Ate breakfast and disembarked around 9:15. Process was much easier than expected and was at airport by 10:30am. Caught an early flight home.
Summary: Had a fabulous honeymoon! Thanks Dad and Caroline for sending us on a great trip!
