Honeymoon Recap, Part 2

I woke up this morning to a tiny pile of snow on my windshield.  VOMIT. 

Needless to say, it seems like an excellent time for a post about our honeymoon.... because it was above 80 degrees and I would prefer to be there.  DUH.

In the recap part 1, I shared some of our adventures and little sights we found while wandering.  Today, it's mostly beach pictures.  We didn't spend quite enough time at the beach for my liking... but then again, I never like sand as much as I think I'm going to. 

The first pic was a dream pic that I was hoping to get of Mr. RH and I together.  Of course, we couldn't get a picture in this pretty little park together.  No wandering photographers, dang.

One thing we did daily was head to a lock that separated the Atlantic to some inland waterways.  It was a great place to spot wildlife that might get trapped in the doors opening and closing.  The one animal we always spotted were manatees.  They seem to be pretty easy-going!!

There are 3 in the pic below.

We always saw the prettiest sunsets from the lock, too.

One morning, I begged Mr. RH to come see the sunset on the beach.  He was not impressed.  I had figured out the perfect place to set our camera.  I had figured the perfect place to pose.  A gorgeous, beautiful red lifeguard's chair.  I have a pic of myself on one in Lake Michigan that is one of my most favorite photos.

As soon as we got close, Mr. RH saw the sign that declared climbing on the lifeguard chair to be a trespassing violation.  I was heartbroken.  It was around 8 am, maybe earlier.... and there weren't many souls on the beach. 

I was convinced snapping one pic wouldn't get us thrown in the slammer, but SOMEONE wouldn't budge.  He told me to climb up for a picture alone, but I didn't want to risk it for just myself.  Cause I'm a team player, and I'd like to be arrested WITH my husband if push came to shove.

Stupid asshole rules.  I wasn't going to pretend to lifeguard or save anyone.  One pic, 60 seconds tops!

Alas, there was no husband or wife perched atop for the picture.  Le sigh.  Entire trip wasted.

Although, I did convince him to take a single glamour shot of me.  And then he was done with photos for the morning.  Humph.  Life of crime averted. 

Ahh, toes in the sand.  Vs. toes in boots, which is what I'll have today.

Luckily, the husband was sleepy enough that I could snap some pics on the sly.  

Probably my favorite from the whole trip below.  It turned out all washed out, which I love.

 Ohhh, sweet relaxing honeymoon.  Wish I were back there today!

 Now, if I only had a one-way ticket to the beach this morning...

Honeymoon Recap, Part 1

Soo.... anybody notice I went AWOL instead of posting honeymoon photos?  In my defense - a coworker got crazy sick and I had to rush into work.... and the blog doesn't write itself.  And then yesterday was my birthday and I was anti-celebration (although I'm going to post about my cake experiment soon!), and now it's Tuesday.

Oops!

So - the honeymoon.

Truth be told - I don't have many photos.  The first two days, I'm pretty sure I slept more than 10 hours per night (as opposed to my usual 6-7) and woke up so swollen and out of it that all I wanted to do was walk to the beach and eat all day.

And that's pretty much the story of our vacation!  The end.

Fortunately, because The Blogging runs deep in my veins, I didn't take no for an answer when it came to taking just a couple pictures.  :)

We were in the Cape Canaveral area of Florida (what's up with states that have towns on top of each other, yo?), and explored several of the local communities nearby.  Our favorite, by far, was historic Cocoa Village, Florida.

After eating the world's BEST SLICE OF CAKE (peach-raspberry cake), we wandered until I found a public fountain that was interactive.  You would think I was only 7 years old.... but no, just had my 27th birthday.  Or, as Mr. RH called it, my second 25th birthday.

The entire honeymoon, my eyes were 200% bigger than my stomach.  Can you believe I ended up throwing a perfectly delicious ice cream cone in the trash!?



Fortunately, this wasn't the cone.  That would have been pricey.  

While driving home from an adventure (I believe it was the cake adventure), we saw dolphins jumping on the side of the road.  Mr. RH pulled over (along with the car in front of us) to take in the scene.  So cool!  There were at least 3 of them.

One of our most favorite adventures was dinner at Sublime in the historic Cocoa Village.  We got a flight of sangria..... YUM.

And last but not least... we learned that Mr. RH doesn't like to work for his supper.   Or he just doesn't like crab, one of the two.  I however, was covered in crab by the end of the meal.  Success??

And I think that's enough boring vacation photos for one day.  Happy Tuesday!
