St Lucia - AKA Paradise

The very next day after our wedding we were off to St. Lucia. We flew to Dallas, then we stayed overnight in Miami. Monday afternoon we arrived in St. Lucia. The ride to our resort was a little rough to say the least. They drive like maniacs over there. The roads are tight, cars attempt to pass other cars when it clearly isn't safe to do so, and they love to honk their horns. Luckily our driver let us stop to get a beer to drink while we drove over an hour to get to our resort. But the scary ride was worth it, once we got to our resort.....we were in heaven!

Once we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that we had been upgraded to a honeymoon suite...courtesy of Sandals. We had our very own pool. Our pool was a little cold and didn't get much sun, so we didn't use it much, but it was still very nice to have.

Here is how we spent most of our days. I was on the raft and Josh would be walking me around in the pool. In this picture we just happened to land at the swim up bar....what a coincidence! Thanks to all these hours in the sun, I now have a tan!

Here we are on the 2nd night of our honeymoon eating dinner and posing for the camera man. This restaurant was called "The Piton" which is also the name of the local beer. It served Caribbean style food.

Here we are on the boat getting ready to go snorkeling.

In our snorkel gear. I love this picture because Josh is so tall, so his life jacket looks like a belly shirt....haha.

For our final day Josh wanted to rent a private cabana and just relax. I wasn't too excited about it at first, because I wanted to sunbathe, but it actually was so relaxing. We had our own private butler that brought us food and drinks. It was so wonderful!

For our final night in St. Lucia we had a private candlelight dinner on the beach. It was so romantic. They had menus with our meals and names printed out. We ate our tasty meals and sipped on champagne while we were on the beach all by ourselves. It was unbelievable!

Our honeymoon was without a doubt, the best vacation either of us have ever had!

Now I am sure that many of you are wondering about who was taking care of the doggies while we were gone? Well my cousin's girlfriend Lauren was generous and house sat for us, and we had Craig stopping by daily to give them a little extra love. The only sad thing about the honeymoon was being away from our dogs (especially my Bailee). But they are very glad to have us home.
