our mexican honeymoon

 

the day after our wedding, we woke up and had strawberry waffles and whipped cream.  we watched "the notebook" because Andrew knows watching movies in the morning is one of my favorite things to do.  mmmm

we opened presents at nana’s with all the family, we couldn’t believe how generous people were to us! we are so lucky and so blessed. 

 we went to tepanyaki that night and got free ice cream as a wedding present. yum. 

the next day we got ready for our trip and stopped at winger’s for lunch on our way out!  andrew knows the key to my heart, ha ha.

the drive was so fun…except I fell asleep 20 minutes into it!  andrew was getting sleepy too so we pulled off on a wilderness exit and took a nap in the truck.  needless to say we got a late start! 

 

we read to each other on the drive down to keep us from getting bored.  we drove without a map and just guessed on where we were going. it worked! we even found an in-n-out in vegas to eat dinner. (one of Andrew's favorites).

 this is the book we read. it was okay,but we didn't love it. a lot of parts were about this dog.  i guess Andrew & I aren't super animal lovers.

we stayed the night in Pasadena, although we didn’t get in til midnight!  the next morning we just headed towards the port and got on the ship! 

 

the cruise was so so so perfect!  it was a full week of relaxing and playing and having fun.  ice cream ice cream ice cream, we ate as many cones as we wanted!  we got gourmet food 3 times a day and met so many nice people.  we went on a Royal Caribbean ship called the "Mariner of the Seas".  it held over 6,000 people on it! (including the crew...)



       this was one of our waiters.  it was really fun to meet all the international crew and find out                                       a little about them.  the service was great!
we would get back to our room and find all of these creatures folded out of towels! it was so funny.  they straightened our room like 4 times a day.  so crazy.  this hanging bat was one of our favorite ones!
we took this picture because we were late for breakfast almost every day, so we would roll out of bed and go to the dining room.  ha ha. we looked in the mirror and thought we looked so funny! sleepyheads.

we made 3 stops:  Cabo San Lucas,  Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.  one of my favorite parts was exploring mexico!  we met really interesting people and it was so cool to hear Andrew use his Spanish. all the locals were so impressed!  we spent lots of time at the beach, did a little shopping, and got some sun.  the weather was so nice.


DAY 1: CABO!

this is us on the glass-bottom boat tour.  we saw fish and learned a little about the beautiful landscape.  the water was seriously crystal clear and aqua blue.  it is very picturesque.

he kisses me. i like it.

the pickups


DAY 2: MAZATLAN! 


we took taxis at every port. this one was a long ride, it was so fun to see the city!  the cab driver was crazy.  apparently they do nothing but swerve and honk in this country.  no blinkers, common courtesies, they don't even stay on the right side of the road...

DAY 3: PUERTO VALLARTA!
isn't this a cool picture-taking location? a ready made frame.


we bought this hand-made ship from the nicest lady on the beach.  I love it.  guess what it cost us? $3 ! we have it on display in our apartment. a perfect souvenier!
