Our Honeymoon

I know I know, this is SO late! But since this blog is a scrapbook for me, I wanted to go back and blog about our amazing honeymoon to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!  

So one of the most fun things about our honeymoon was that Dustin planned the entire thing (with the help of a friend of ours who is a travel agent) and surprised me!  I knew we were going to a tropical location, but other than that I knew nothing until we got to our gate at the Miami airport.  It was so fun to be surprised and to be thought for in that way.  

We stayed at an Excellence all inclusive resort.  It was amazing.  Dustin told them it was our honeymoon and so they treated us like royalty.  Our room had a double balcony that overlooked the Gulf Of Mexico.  

Everyday they would leave special treats in our room with they cleaned it.  

The resort was completely all inclusive with about 8 restaurants, beachside service, and room service all at our fingertips. We took advantage of room service several mornings and had breakfast on our balcony.  

One night they served us a special dinner as part of our honeymoon package.  It was so fun to try all the restaurants and be able to order anything we wanted! Sometimes we ordered multiple entrees so we could taste different things:-)  

One of our favorite things was the queen size covered beds overlooking the ocean. We spent many hours out there reading and taking naps.  

We both decided that honeymoons should be a regular thing:-)  We were both so exhausted after the wedding.  Engagement was such a fun season, but man was it busy.  It was so nice to be an environment where we could truly relax. Our biggest decisions each day were whether to lay by the pool or the beach and what restaurant we should eat at!  

We did do one excursion (but I don't have any pictures) where we rented a speedboat and went out to the Caribbean to snorkel. It was so fun! Other than that we spent everyday at the resort.  

9 months in, we know each other SO much better than we did when these pictures were taken (and I know we will only continue to get to know each other better). It's a crazy thing to go from dating, engagement, a wedding, and taking a trip like this together. But we really did have such a great time learning each other, laughing together, and being completely away from real life for a bit. Our hope and dream is to be able to return to our honeymoon location again one day!
