Honeymooners


Although our honeymoon was over 3 months ago, let me just update you real quick.  The morning after our wedding, we turned off the alarm and slept in.  When we finally woke up, we rushed to the airport and were, Surprise, pulled over for speeding.  We barely made our flight and flew to Long Beach.  There we boarded the Carnival Splendor.  It was a brand new boat and so fun!  It was equipped with a water slide, mini golf coarse, out/indoor movie theater, and much more.  It had a retro look to it and we loved it!  The first 2 days were at sea and we enjoyed the night clubs, winning the newlywed game (and watching it over and over again on the TV), a couples massage (which we won, but with the tip ended up being, to Colby's dismay, expensive), the good dinners, dancing down at the piano bar, and watching the sea life; we saw dolphins, hammer heads, sea turtles, flying fish, sting rays, and even whales far off.

                               Our Winnings
The first stop was Peurto Villarta (I know I slaughtered that spelling).  There we took a little bus tour of the city but got off early to enjoy the ten cent bathroom's where you were given your 3 squares of toilet paper by a toothless old man, and Colby's first experience snorkeling.  It was fun, but we got stung by tons of tiny little jellyfish!  Ouch!
Second stop was Mazetlan.  Here we just had fun walking around bargaining.  We would talk people down, but never bought anything.  Typical me:).
The final and last stop was Cabo.  We walked to the beach and had plans of going snorkeling again, but the water was FREEZING!  It was beautiful and clear though.  We also got tattoos mine on my foot and Colby on his shoulder.  Colby enjoyed his for about 5 minutes, put his shirt on and then a few minutes later I noticed a big black blob on his shirt.  Ha his tattoo had smeared and was going to be like that for 14 days:).  I then had my first mango, Yum, I couldn't get enough.

The last 2 days were at sea and we just enjoyed all the boat had to offer.  One night we went down to the dance club, but unfortunately, or fortunately whichever way you want to look at it, were the only ones there.  We danced for about an hour while people watched us through the windows.  Ha good times.  Overall we had a great time, and would love to go back!
