Honeymooners

The first day we arrived in Cali we went to lunch with Zach's family and then headed to the USS Midway with my parents and Grandpa Dee. It was so fun to see how much my grandpa loved seeing the ship and all of the different airplanes. After touring around San Diego for a while we headed to Carlsbad where we were staying in a Condo. That night we went to BJ's to eat with both of our families. The waiter brought us a cute little cake with ice cream and a candle for our wedding!

The next day we went to the ocean with for a little while to bodyboard and then went back to the pool/splashpad that was at our condo. After playing in the sun all day I went back to the room to get ready for the engagements we were taking that night at the beach. I went and had my hair done at a place close to our condo and then we loaded up to head to the beach! Zach and I road separate because he hadn't seen me in my dress yet. All of our family came with us so we could get family pictures as well, and it was so fun to see our little nieces and nephews playing and watching us. I was able to walk up behind Zach and get it captured on camera for him to have the "first look."We ended up taking pictures until dark and then went back to our Condo to get ready for the BIG DAY! I remember just laying in bed thinking about everything and so excited for our wedding day that I couldn't sleep! It was around 2 am when I fell asleep and then I was back up at 6 am to go get ready! Our day was so special and everything we could have dreamed of and more. We spent our first night at the Carlsbad Seapointe Resort. Our family loaded us up with all of the extra groceries they had left from the first couple days we were there so we took it all to our room with us. 

Day One: We slept in and snuggled all morning and had a muffin, yogurt and orange juice  for our first breakfast as husband and wife! After getting ready for the day we headed to Oceanside where we were planning to stay the rest of our honeymoon. We went and got checked in at the Oceanside Pier Resort and immediately changed into our swimming suits and hit the beach. We walked around, jumped in the water, and enjoyed our first of many sunsets for the week. The next day we slept in (of course), and then packed a picnic and went to the beach.

Day Two: of the honeymoon we went swimming, bodyboarded, and enjoyed a picnic on the beach. My parents ended up staying a few days after the wedding as well so we decided to meet up with them that evening. We ended up going to Old Town where we visited the Mormon Battalion, walked the streets, and had some yummy mexican food for dinner. After dinner we drove over to Coronado and walked the beaches and enjoyed the sunset. It was fun to see my parents after we had been so busy with all of the wedding stuff.

Day Three: Was a low key day. We walked up to a fun little restaurant for breakfast and then headed to the beach. We pretty much laid out, napped, cuddled, and people watched. We went back to the hotel and watched the sunset from the hot tub and then went back to the room for a relaxing bubble bath and movie watching. 

Day Four: We met up with Zach's family for a day at the beach! We bodyboarded until our stomachs were rubbed raw and had a picnic again at the beach. We had fun walking the pier and watching all of the people fishing off of it.

 

Day Five: We decided to do a day at Sea World. It was a blast and took the majority of our day! It was so fun to see all of the shows with the dolphins and killer whales. After getting back to Oceanside we ate dinner at a firestone pizza place by our hotel. 

Day Six: We swam in the pool and the ocean, soaked up some more sunshine, and then went to eat at the restaurant that was at the end of the pier called Ruby's Diner. It is a cute little burger joint with an amazing view. We had an amazing banana split for dessert and talked about all of the fun memories we had been making the last week and how fun it was to be married! 

Day Seven: Was our last day beachin' it up. We spent plenty of time cozying in our room and snuggling. The yummy place we ate for our last day was called "Hello Betty." It was a fish house along the ocean that was really fun. Zach had the fish n' chips and I had a mahi mahi fish sandwhich that was so good. We had so much fun on our honeymoon and we feel so blessed to have been able to do all of the things that we did. It was so fun to come home to a HUSBAND! Yay! I no longer have to go home alone every night! Marriage has been the best!
