Dogs, snorkeling, and starfish

I now understand why people go on honeymoons.

Weddings are exhausting.

The day after the wedding we opened gifts with our close family members, and spent some extra time with our out-of-state-ers. By the time we left to make the 5 hour journey back home, it was getting pretty late.

All I wanted to do when we got home was sleep. Unfortunately, we had decided to pack this night for our honeymoon the following day. Big mistake.

By the time we unloaded the car, packed our (very small) suitcases, and got all of our flight information together we had about 2-3 hours to sleep before it was time to get going again. 

We had a full day of traveling the next day, and were worried about making a couple of our flights due to logistics.

We started our day at 4am, and a good 16 (hectic) hours later arrived at our beach house destination.

We were blessed to be staying in my Uncle's beach house. We spent our days reading in the sun on our practically private beach. It was perfect.

 
We did some snorkeling. Well, mostly Mr. went snorkeling. He even found himself about 20 feet from a shark at one time.


We had some sunsets.


And we made friends with some neighbor dogs.


We went on a fishing adventure, too!


It was much needed rest and relaxation.

When we got home, we found that our friends had spent some time redecorating our apartment.


We have some (crazy) good friends.
