honeymoon! turks and caicos islands

I have been putting off this blog post b/c i have had the hardest time picking what pics to share from our honeymoon. Not because there is an abundance of great ones though. Mostly because most of the pics consist of matt and i holding out the camera and taking pictures of ourselves in front of..... the ocean, the pool, our room, a resturant, etc, etc, etc... Doesn't get more exciting than that;) But after many requests- here is the honeymoon post. Part I of it. Part 2 will be the story of Captain Bill's Outback Adventure- a crazy fun boat tour we took that deserves it's own post. We had an AMAZING time together:) So as i have done before, i will share some of our adventures through the pics. Hope you enjoy!

Here is the view from our balcony:) We got upgraded to an oceanfront room when we arrived and it was awesome! We only had it for the first 3 days b/c it was not available for the entire week but we were hoping it would become available as we week went on. It didn't. I'll share more about that later;)

the beach! the water was SO blue and it was amazing! We also got to take a miniature sail boat out on our own after a quick lesson from one of the guys at our resort. It seemed pretty simple until we got out there on our own! There was one point where we could not get the boat turned around for the life of us... this was a very stressful situation which led to our first almost argument as a married couple. But matt got in the water turned the boat around, and saved the day as usual. :)

me eating one of our homemade turkey&cheese sandwiches on the beach. we were trying to keep our lunches cheap since the restaurants for dinner were so wonderfully fancy but very expensive.

On our way out one night. love this shot:)

the pool! we got in a habit of getting up and going to the beach through lunchtime and then heading to the pool in the afternoon. then we would go back to our room for a nap! We also tried to do some sort of activity every day- we biked, snorkeled, did the crazy sail boat thing, got massages... and of course Captian Bill's Outback Adventure!

a couple of shots from one of those fancy restaurants:) We would usually split a meal b/c just one entree was around $50. I know! but it was enough for both of us and sooo yummy!!

We went to this cool ice cream shop after dinner one night and they had all kinds of fun stuff to play with!

Halfway through out trip, we had to move to a "beach view" room b/c the beach fronts were all booked up. Just a piece of advice- if you are going to get an upgrade, get it on the back end of your trip... It is no fun to be downgraded!

On our one week anniversary, which was also our last night we went out on the beach and watched the sunset.

Then, we went to a really nice resturant that we had heard wonderful things about. It was right on the beach and only lit with candles. The menus lit up when you opened them and it was so cool. I just knew there was a famous person at this place! We just couldn't see them b/c of the darkness.

Like i said, we went to some fancy places. Mainly because those were the only kind of restaurants avalaible but i didn't mind it! At almost every restaurant we ate at we would get some sort of " compliments of the chef" appetizer. Our last night we got cauliflower soup and a chip. The soup was great but a chip!? One chip? We found that hilarious! The pic on the left is what i ordered. Presentation was always so important!

Our honeymoon was such an amazing time! the best part? Just being together of course:) Stay tuned for part II!
