The Honeymooners


So here are some highlights from the honeymoon.. not all of course!!!
Upon arrival at our hotel while checking in the staff on duty said so your "The Honeymooners", gave a little laugh and said "We have a big surprise waiting for you in your room!"
When Jon and I walked into the bedroom we saw these two kissing swans made out of bath towels.. it was pretty funny and made us smile.
The hotel room was huge, it had two decks, a full size kitchen and living room, it was just perfect.
The first day after arriving Jon and I were drinking our sippy drinks as we liked to call them and laying out on these huge beds they have next to the ocean. A man approached us asking if we wanted to go for an excursion on his sailboat. His going price was $135 dollars... well if you know Jonathan and his bargaining powers the price dropped to $35 dollars and we were sold!

So here we are, sailing was awesome, the waters as you can see was such a beautiful blue and the day we went the waters were really calm. They were so calm in fact that Jon and I were able to get behind the sailboat on a rope and be pulled through the ocean. Jonathan got also got the chance to steer the boat for a bit as well.. he looks like a really good Captain I think! Every night we went to a fun restaurant usually overlooking the water front it was so fun, and then at nights we would walk the beach.















Another excursion that we took was on our own jet personal jet boat out about 45minutes out through a jungle tour to snorkel around the coral out in the middle of the ocean. We had been in the water for about thirty minutes and somehow Jon and I were separated from our group when we saw a shark swimming around.. as soon as that happened I was headed out as fast as my flippers would let me get. We made it back safe and also saw a stingray and Jon found a big shell that he brought back as his treasure. The crocodile that you see below has not been zoomed in upon.. Jonathan got up that close while all the workers were saying "Sir, you don't want to do that." Luckily my crazy husband is still all in tact!
All in all the trip was a success.. the water there is so beautiful, we had a blast and our sad to have to come home!

What beautiful pictures, it looks like you guys had a blast!

You should tell Jonathan to remember that crocodiles don't negotiate quite like sailboat captains... That's pretty up close and personal there, Jon!

The kissing swans are my favorite though. How ingeniously romantic!

What a beautiful couple! We are so very very blessed to have you two in the family.
Love, Mom

Jon - have you heard about the idiot tourists up at Yellowstone that get too close to the wildlife?
Just a thought.
