Honeymoon Adventure Number 4: Carnival Liberty

Todays post is going to be about our boat, we were on the boat from May 26-June 2, however to keep things simple I will talk about the boat today only. There was so much do on the boat, arcades, shows, various clubs, bars and lounges, a casino, shopping, 3 pools and about 9 hot tubs and food galore!


This is our boat:

Theater

The Elevators

The Dining Room where we were assigned: The Golden Olympian

This was our Favourite Wine on the Boat

Honeymoon Adventure Number 3: Miami

Day 6: Miami


Miami was a blast, we hung out at the beach, went shopping, took a city and a boat tour and ate Cuban food! What more could you want out of a day in Miami!

Gotta love when its 75 degrees by 8:00AM!

 Breakfast on the rooftop..and the streets closed and cops everywhere for Memorial Day weekend festivities

Used in Various Movies (Do you recognize it?) 

This was used in Tarzan...now its a community swimming pool.

The Boat Tour

Expensive mansions we saw on the boat tour, the first one is the guy who created Viagra's house, the second is P.Diddy's and the third is a rental property for parties, Jay-z has hosted parties here...

Honeymoon Adventure Number 2: Miami

Honeymoon Day 5: South Beach


Our time in Miami began very early in the morning after a long overnight flight and landing around 5:30 in the morning. We took a city bus from the airport to South Beach where we planned to hit the beach until it was time to check into our hotel. 

Katie tired with the stuff at 6AM in South Beach

Who knew South Beach was the place to go to find strays. A good spot to live when its warm all year round I suppose! Shortly after a stop to see the cats, the sky grew very very dark..

Around 8AM the rains began, we took refuge in a Starbucks

Paul was not very impressed with the rain! 

Hotel Edgewater

Our Hotel was called Edgewater and it was wonderful, from letting us check in early to get out the rain, to free happy hour and complementary breakfast on the rooftop patio every day, and only steps away from the park and beach! 

Our room was HUGE!! So Spoiled! 

And of course we had to go the beach! The beach was awesome and the water was so warm! 

For dinner we went to a hotel restaurant a block away from our hotel, and loved the relaxed yet treated like royalty atmosphere. 

We couldn't believe the size of the drinks..yet everywhere in South Beach seemed to serve this size! 

Honeymoon Adventure Number 1: A road trip

While we don't have the wedding pictures back yet...we do have some Honeymoon pictures. Here you get the first look at the first photos (pre-alterations even!) from the event!

Day one: Penticton

We stayed at the Ramada and spent our first day as husband and wife with the family, after a pancake breakfast and getting all the post-wedding stuff figured out we went back to the hotel and just hung out. We had an amazing room with a HUGE spa tub and after such a busy weekend it was nice to just have a quiet evening. The highlight of the evening, a SUPER NINTENDO burger (so who cares that it actually is called the super something else burger...Paul read it as supernintendo and its a much better name) delivered via room-service.

Paul seeing who's facebook'd about us yet

Day 2: Penticton - Wenachee WA

Paul's car had been making funny noises, and we knew there were some issues needing to be fixed, and wanted to get it fixed before we went on a trip in it...little did we know it would be an expensive job and a few hours of waiting around Penticton before we could get going!

 By the time we did get going Paul was pretty pooped..so he slept while I drove to the states. At the Border we had forgotten that we still had a fruit basket in the car (we had meant to leave it with relatives but had forgotten about it. So they kindly pulled us over and made us wait around until they went through our fruit basket and took everything out but the apples. 

That afternoon we were getting hungry so we pulled over to find something to eat in the town of Brewster and found a piece of Mexico! I was so excited by the fact that all the signs on the buildings were all in Spanish often with no English attached! We had some really good Mexican food  at a place called Campero's and went for a walk to stretch the legs. 

We found this on our walk!

On the drive

Day 3: Wenachee - Seattle

After leaving Wenachee <which is the Apple Capitol of the world> behind, we made our way to seattle, but to get there had to drive over the mountains. After a very scenic drive we arrived in Seattle...it was time to head to the airport for our overnight flight. 

Hotel in Wenachee

Had to take a picture for our Hedgehog (Skookum)

Superduper sized anyone?

We found SNOW!
