Strawberry Daquiries


Let's go back a few months.
August to be exact.
We had planned to get married on August 23rd, so we booked our honeymoon for August 24th.
Since we decide to elope in July, we had to wait about six weeks to go on our honeymoon.

My parents took Camden home with them to Thatcher for the week.
The night before we left, I was feeling pretty guilty for leaving him to go on vacation.
If you're a mom, you will understand.
Jason didn't so much.

Our flight to Miami left at like 6:30 a.m.or something, but we told Jason's mom the wrong time to pick us up.
(The flight left 15 min earlier than we thought)
Then, her alarm didn't go off.
She picked us up and we had like 40 min before the departure time. Yikes!
We were already in a little "tiff" and anyone who knows me knows I HATE to be late, so that was just fuel to the fire.
Poor Becky, she could definitely feel the tension.
That was a really long drive to the airport.

We got to the airport. talked to the ticket agent who gave us the stink eye when we told her what flight we were on. By the way, don't you hate when the agents make you feel like you're asking them to donate their kidney when you ask them to do ANYTHING??

Ok, I digress.
So... we get through security pretty fast. (Thank goodness it was a Wednesday morning)
We are just about at the gate and Jason realizes he forgot his phone back at security.
Wow.
I ran to the gate and told the gate agent that Jason was right behind me. Another stink eye. Of course.
But, we made it. Barely.

The first day we spent at the resort beach, snorkling and laying out.
The resort we stayed at was all inclusive. Free food and drinks.
Which meant, FREE strawberry daquiries. All day.
We started keeping count and by the time we left we averaged 4 a day each.
They were THAT good.

 The second day we took a taxi to Coki Beach.
We went snorkling there too. I had never been snorkling before and I was such a baby about it at first.
Jason thought I was ridiculous.
Which I was.
I would scream every time a fish came near me.
But don't worry,
I got better.
Unless Jason said he saw a jellyfish, then I was out of the water in about five seconds.
Adrienne understands....

This is right outside the resort lobby

Iguanas roam wild everywhere...

And clearly are very comfortable around people

 The third day we were both pretty sunburned so we stayed in the shade most of the day.
It was one of the best weeks of my life.
Maybe because I was in St. Thomas and it's hard to go wrong there.
But it was probably because of the company.
