Honeymooners!


I know this was a few months ago, but we had TWO of the BEST trips ever & I want to always remember them! We were fortunate enough to be able to go on two honeymoons! We stayed at a hotel in Park City the first three nights we were married. The Chateaux At Silver Lake was one of my most favorite places I have ever stayed. I’m sure part of it had to do with the fact that it was our honeymoon, but it was gorgeous! It wasn’t really ski season so the hotel was practically empty. The hotel has a cabin feel to it.. It sits high up on the mountain so you kind of feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, except for a few other lodges around it.We relaxed all weekend long! Watched movies, made food, cuddled by the fire, & of course hot-tubbed all hours of the day! It was the most relaxing & perfect weekend! It was back to reality for the next month, studying lots & getting ready for finals.






 The day after finals we left for our cruise! Our ship was the Norwegian Epic. Neither of us had been on this cruise line, but we LOVED it! The food was pretty good, the shows were amazing! Our room was lovely, & the best part.. UNLIMITED ice cream! If you know us well, you know that ice cream is our absolute favorite thing ever.. besides each other of course. Not only did they have the ice cream machines with the chocolate & vanilla & cones, but they had TWO ice cream stands that had at least 10 different flavors each day as well as different toppings you could put on them! We were in Heaven. We left out of Miami & over the next 7 days we went to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, & the Bahamas! Talk about beautiful! The pictures don’t even give them justice. The one thing I do hate is how much the ships rip you off if you book excursions through them. We weren’t about to let them get us! We wanted to just do our own thing off the ship & if we found something we wanted to do then we would go for it. Turns out that even though the weather was gorgeous & for the most part sunny.. there was a small part of each day that was a little cloudy, sometimes windy, and occasionally rained a little. We decided to walk around the islands, shop a little, & hit up the beaches. Best decision! The beaches were sooo pretty! We played in the water & just relaxed! Knowing we would be coming back to snow made us so grateful for the warm weather & sunshine!

 Waiting for our plane!
 So grateful we were able to stay with friends in Miami!

 For Christmas this year I did a 12 Days of Christmas for Parker!

 Sunsets were so pretty!

We flew home Christmas Eve, just in time to celebrate the holidays with both our families! Just thinking about these trips makes me want Summer so much, especially after the beautiful day today! Only a few more months, hopefully less!!
