So, last week was insane. I was really busy at work and one of my best friends was getting married so there was lots going on. Hence, not much blogging....so now I am doing my throw back Thursday on a MONDAY, which is also, June 21....aka, the LONGEST day of the year. As if we need Monday to be any longer than it already is!?! I'm exhausted this morning after an action packed weekend full of wedding festivities, birthdays, and fathers day! I just wanna go crawl under the sheets for a bit longer....sigh.
So, last week....last year, we were on our honeymoon~ obviously=) We chose to go to Maroma Beach, which is located in the Riviera Maya portion of Mexico. Neither of us were too particular about where we went, we both just wanted to RELAX and do it somewhere tropical, not too far, and with an all inclusive option. We will save the "sight see" trips for later...I just wanted a beach, a book, my boy, and some booze for a week. We ended up going with the Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun resort; it was pretty phenomenal. It was hardly at full capacity, our honeymoon took place just a few weeks after the outbreak of the dreadful swine flu and so many people canceled trips to Mexico because of it! Didn't bother us a bit...more service and room for us=) We really didn't do much besides sleep in, eat, and lay by the water, it was perfect. The only "day trip" activity we planned was a zip lining excursion complete with a trip to a "cenote." It was so much fun, at first I was scared to death to zip line...the older I get the more I hate heights...I used to be such a dare devil, not anymore! I ended up enjoying it thoroughly though... I even went upside down!! Yay for me. We also took part in a "couples" spa half day, the spa at this place was AHHHMAZING. The whole resort was brand new, so everything was top of the line, the spa definitely held it's own. It was Mikey's first spa experience, he was pretty pleased. The service at the resort was amazing...the name is Secrets because they put a "secret" box in each room where the room service can be delivered without, ahem...interrupting you. There were 7 different restaurants and most were amazing. It's so funny, normally I am an all "american" food type eater...don't really have a very sophisticated palate so to speak; but my favorite restaurants here were the Japanese, Italian, and Mexican ones....thus the reason I came home from the honeymoon with an extra five pounds! We had a wonderful honeymoon, I so wish I could make a trip like this an annual event! Maybe one day....
Our actual "honeymoon" night we stayed at a B & B in downtown Beaufort, it was so charming... I guess it would have been nice if we would have been there long enough to actually enjoy it! We literally got home around 1:30...and were gone the next day by 10:30...we didn't even take advantage of the brunch they offer. Oh well, it was so pretty though....
This was the view from our room in Beaufort
The entrance to our suite, The "mariner inn" room
The real honeymoon.....gorgeous
ah. the sunset.
