Our Honeymoon at the Happiest Pace on Earth

After the wedding, we were so happy to finally be able to rest from everything.  For the first few days, we stayed at our new apartment, went shopping, and decorated everything.  It was so much fun! Then, we went down to Flagstaff, AZ for the reception down there.  We spent some time with Nick's family and went to the Grand Canyon.  I had never been before so it was a lot of fun. The last night we were there we went to the reception.  The weather was perfect and everything was so pretty.  I love how gorgeous Flagstaff is! The only problem was that there were so many mosquitoes!

The next morning we headed out on our adventure to California! Nick's mom drove us down to the Phoenix airport (it was so hot!). Our flight was only about an hour long, and before we knew it, we were in California!  It was gorgeous!  I just love seeing palm trees everywhere!  The first thing we did was go pick up the car we rented, and it was bright orange! It was super nice though.

We stayed at the Double Tree Inn, and we got some huge, warm cookies when we signed in!

For the rest of that day, we went to Newport Beach.  It was a lot of fun, but it was really cold.

That night, we walked across the street to The Block at Orange.  It was a pretty awesome mall with lots of good places to eat and shop! I got some adorable new shoes, and Nick picked out a new tshirt and jeans that he really liked.  Then, we ate at Lascari's Italian Grill.  It was so good, and they gave us free cheese cake since we were on our honeymoon!

The next two days, we went to Disney Land!!! I had never been before, so I was so excited! We got there right at 8:00.  We ran to our first ride, Indiana Jones, and it was awesome! Somehow, every ride we went to had almost no line when we got there, but when we came out, the line was like an hour long!  We were very lucky.

We ate lunch at the Blue Bayou.  It was this cute little restaurant that the Pirates of the Caribbean ride goes through.  It was pretty dark, and they had candles on the table.  The food was good, but I liked it more because of the atmosphere.

We also got to see a musical of Aladdin.  It was really cool, but we mostly did it to get out of the heat for a few hours.

That night, we got to see the World of Colors.  It was so cool, and they played some of my favorite songs.  Sadly, we were so impressed that we completely forgot to get some pictures of it :(   The next morning, we were going to go whale watching, but we were so exhausted that we wanted to sleep in.  We flew home that night, and Jess (Nick's sister) and her family picked us up.  We went to Olive Garden for Jess's birthday, and then we were finally home again.  It was a lot of fun, and we didn't want to go back to work the next week.
