The Honeymoon...

One week after getting married we took off for Ocho Rios, Jamaica! We started off with mimosas on the plane and were met with huge exotic flowers and Red Stripe. The resort was an all inclusive with a private beach and three incredible seaside restaurants. Our room was an ocean front suite with a huge balcony that look out onto the crystal blue water. We ate breakfast out there every morning just taking in the incredible views and fresh ocean breeze. We spent a lot of time in the sun, swimming and lounging on the beach with an occasional nap here and there. Mike ended up with heat rash and was miserable for a few days, so we started spending the afternoon in the air conditioned room watching vh1. On our third day, we went on a catamaran trip along the Jamaican coast line. It was so much fun! They served rum punch and sang Jamaican reggae, imagine Mike singing Bob Marley. We pulled into a small peninsula and took turns diving off the edge of the boat. Mike cannon balled in and lost his wedding band in the ocean! Everyone on the boat dove in to help us look for it. The Jamaican natives loaned us their snorkels and goggles and, much to everyones surprise, we found it! (From then on he wore it on his middle finger.) On our last day there we went snorkeling and took fun pictures of exotic fish and coral reefs. We finished off our vacation with an intimate Italian dinner on the beach. It was a fun and relaxing way to start our marriage, we're already looking forward to the next trip!
