Wedding: Week After.. aka the Honeymoon


Can you believe it's been 1 whole month since the wedding?? I cant! it's been the best month of my life. Ok so our honeymoon was Amazing!!! It started off with a limo ride to our hotel.  We stayed in the Hotel Monaco in SLC for one night before we headed off to Cancun. They gave us complimentary wine and truffles for our Honeymoon. (We replaced the wine with our own sparkling cider ;))


The next morning we started our day off with an early morning flight to Seattle followed by a flight to Cancun. Both flights went very smoothly! We slept a lot! I always forget how cold I get in airplanes though... I was freeeezing. Luckily nay nay put his legs on me so I was warm.


When we got to Mexico we took a shuttle to our Hotel.  Everyone was so nice and helpful the entire time! In Cancun we stayed in the Hotel Riu Palace Peninsula. It was STUNNING! It's brand new and HUGE! the pools are beautiful and it's right on the beach.  I asked Nathan if the sand was man made because it was so soft and white.  It reminded me of powdered sugar!



our room! It was soooo humid and hot outside and always so cool in our room. quite impressive!




more complimentary wine, strawberries, and a cool souvenir that now sits in our bathroom!

For the next week we spent our time sleeping, laying out, drinking pina coladas and my personal favorite, mojitos (all virgin of course), eating at the fancy restaurants and buffets and ordering from the 24/7 room service.  let me just tell you, all inclusive is the way to go.  It was amazing!!






Nay's favorite, mango's with chilli powder!




Pure happiness right there ^^^^



and right there ^








every night after dinner we would walk on the beach with our toes in the sand. then we would end up somewhere listening to the waves, talking, drinking more drinks, and playing scrabble on our phones.  :)



















a HUGE snail Nay found!


can't go on a honeymoon without a kissing picture!



one day we went to the "Women's Island" we went snorkeling, and we held a shark, we road a boat to and from all these things and we went shopping and had lunch on the island.  We also did this parasailing type thing. I went parasailing in China and you are supposed to be strapped in and you don't jump in the water so when the kind "party crew" on the boat told us to do this you had to be good at swimming i was really confused. little did i know it was not parasailing at all.  first you jump in to the middle of the ocean where you hurry and sit on this towel that is connected to a huge parachute thing and the wind takes you as high as it wants, flinging you from side to side.  then when the party crew decides your turn is up they tell you to jump.  Nathan and I thought we were both going to die and/or land on our faces like everyone else but it went surprisingly well and was really fun!! sketchy... but fun!


The boat ride! where i got frieeeed! Just because you're wearing sunscreen doesn't mean you won't get sunburned.. -___-

Me... look how high I am!

love,
Mrs. Richey
