Honeymoon!

So once I get all the pictures from the wedding I will post those, but just to set the record straight, even though it is backwards in my blog, we got married first and then went on our honeymoon ;)

Whenever I went to a wedding I would always wonder how it felt to finally get in the car with your new husband or wife and realize you were finally alone and it was all over.  I really liked being the one in the passenger seat as we drove off and found to feel quite normal.  I felt like we were heading off on just another date.  I also found it to be relieving and all at once the exhausting...weird how being the bride can make one so tired.  But our wedding day went perfect.  Besides the heat of the day there is not one thing I would change so thank you so much to everyone.  It was just soo great.  We loved the intimate dinner after the day with just our family, and just everything else, so thanks!

Anyways we got to our first honeymoon spot and just kind or laid on the king size bed, we were both so tired that it was really nice to just lay down.  (Side note: Zach had originally just got a normal room, but he told the clerk that it was our first night married and the nice clerk upgraded our room to an executive suite for no extra cost)

 We had original plans to stay two nights in the Le Meridan, but I was anxious to get to the beach house asap so we packed up and left.  It was a nine hour drive, but it went a lot faster than a usual nine hour drive went... perhaps it was the company ;).
 We arrived at the beach house and went for a quick walk at the beach and then back to the house and found that Drew and Jessie had left us a lovely surprise to create the ambiance of the place as "honeymooners"

Thank you so much! The glow in the dark stars were an added surprise and were very fun =)

We spent only 4 days at the beach which we spent mostly just going to the beach enjoying, seashell collecting, boogie boarding, swimming and laying in the sand.

  One day though we got up, sat on the porch that morning and then just decided we were exhausted so we spent the entire day laying on the couch watching movies, truly embracing the spirit of honeymooning.

Another day we woke up and even tried to cast net, but we were not very good at it, we only caught one pokey pin fish...well ZACH only caught one, I did not catch a dang thing....

After the beach we would go home and take a quick nap and then go out at night.  My dad recommended a seafood restaurant to eat at and when he told us the name of it we were very apprehensive, seeing as it was named "Sanitary", but his recommendation proved to be a very good one.  The food was very fresh southern style fish.  We got broiled flounder, fried clams and shrimp and some sides and we demolished it! It was so good!

 AFTER:

We then went to the dock and enjoyed the wind and the beautiful sunset.  There were a few rigs set for king fish (maybe that is what they were looking to catch) But no one was catching anything much.

We had a wonderful time, and we were very sad to leave, thank you so much grandmother and papa for letting us use the beach house.  It was so great! Thanks!

And of course before leaving I had to take Zach to the famous Pizza Inn. =)
