The Honeymooners

We thought that booking a red-eye on Sunday night would give us plenty of time to accomplish everything that we wanted to before we left on our honeymoon, but somehow we managed to be busy right up until the last minute! We spent Sunday morning at a brunch for Amanda's brother, Brett, who was just about to leave on his mission, the afternoon loading up wedding gifts and moving them back to our apartment, and the evening having dinner with Jason's parents, Aunt Carol, Chris, Jenny, and Jake. Before we knew it, it was time to head to Phoenix for our flight! One long night later, and we were in St. Lucia. It was truly an island paradise! We went scuba diving, sailing, horseback riding, zip-lining through the jungle, and dined by candle light. We also fit in some time to relax :) There was even an ill-fated trip to a "street party." Amanda has learned that her idea of a street fair is not entirely compatible with a night-time Caribbean party reeking of pot and populated by "professional" women and local rappers. Oops. No more activities suggested by island tour guides. Luckily Jason was there to snuggle close to. Even that little incident provided a hilarious memory. Our honeymoon was such an amazing trip and such a wonderful way to start our married life together. After the busy months leading up to the wedding, it was perfect to just be together, and we got to do that in paradise!
