Honeymoon

 After the wedding we went to Las Vegas and stayed at the JW Marriott for a couple of days! It was so much fun and we had a great time, but we couldn't stay very long because I had to start my new job the following Wednesday. It was fine because we had already booked our real honeymoon back in April, but we decided to wait because we saved a $1,000 by going in September instead of in June. We left on September 4th for our 7 day Mexican Riviera Cruise. We drove down on the 3rd and stayed overnight at my parents and dropped Lexy off. Then we headed down to California early the next morning to board the ship. It was a long drive, but we had a good time. Our cruise went to Puerta Vallarta and 2 days in Cabo San Lucas. We were supposed to spend one of those days in Mazatlan, but the cruise line sent us a letter infroming us we would be spending 2 days in Cabo insterad because it was too dangerous in Mazatlan for tourists.

On our way to California we stopped at a little diner in the middle of nowhere.



Gads I love him!
Getting on the ship


We went on a snorkel cruise in Cabo and on the way to the snorkel sight, we went and saw Los Arcos and Lover's Beach



On the cruise we met two friends, Alli and Gunner. We sat with them at dinner and they actually ended up being from American Fork. Anyways, we went with them to Lover's Beach for the day!


The water at Lover's Beach was really rough to swim in because of all the tourists boats. However, this picture is taken on the other side of the beach, the Pacific Ocean side. There were warning signs all over warning people not to swim because of the roughness of the water and the undertow
 Here is Jerry finding us a way through the rocks onto our own private beach.
Here I am coming up through the rocks. It was quite the treck to get to this beach and now I knew why we were the only ones there!
 Here we are on our beach. You can see Alli and part of Gunner
 Me with the sweetest lion cub!

 On our way to dinner
 Our artistic shot....and this was Jerry's idea...shocking I know. He also pointed out that I ruined the shot with my fingers. See how you can't see his but you can see all of mine. I am just not as artsy as him! :) He is such a sweetie poo.
Here is my sweetie poo looking all elegant in his bathrobe. You can also see part of our room. We had a window and I loved it! On my other cruises I have been on I have been in an interior room, but we upgraded to a window room and it was well worth it!
 Here we are in Puerta Vallarta. It was beautiful there and we both wished we could have spent 2 days there instead of in Cabo
 Jerry was so sick this day. But he was a good sport and tried to enjoy himself. We took a van tour of Puerta Vallarta.
 Here we visited a teguila factory. They gave out free shots of tequila and we were the only ones not drinking it. I think everyone thought we were crazy. Our tour guide kept asking "Are you sure you don't want any?"

On our tour we stopped at a restaurant that was up in the jungle and trees. It was beautiful. They also did Zip Line tours there. We were actually going to do that instead of this tour, but I am glad we didn't because of Jerry being sick.
 We ate at the restaurant and it was expensive and the food was not good at all. We were very disappointed, but we got lemonades and I thought they were delicious! However, when we got home from the cruise I was very sick with a stomache flu and I think it may have been from this meal. Good times!
This picture does not do justice to how green and jungle like it was in Puerta Vallarta. It was amazing there!
