Our Honeymoon

Brett and I were so lucky to be able to go on a cruise for our honeymoon. Thank you so much to his parents who financed our fun!! We left from San Diego and cruised around in the ocean for 4 beautiful and amazing days. During that time, were able to stop at Catalina Island and had lots of fun touring the island on a jet-boat. Unfortunately they canceled the port in Mexico due to the Swine Flu, but we took full advantage of the extra day to lay around by the pool and do nothing, except eat. Alright, enough talking, here are some pictures. enjoy!


Right after we got off the plane in San Diego they shuttled us to the dock. San Diego is a beautiful city and we couldn't wait to get on the ship!



When we first saw the cruise ship we were shocked at how big it was. We were getting lost all week!



When we stopped in Catalina Island we were able to tour the island, learn some history and see some wildlife. Then we rode out in the ocean a little and got to see some dolphins up close. Very cool experience!


Back on this ship they took good care of us. Fancy dinners. Towel animals on our bed each night. All the food you can eat, whenever you want it. A mini golf course. A GIANT game of chess. A basketball hoop. ...



... and lots of time to lay around in the sun! Luckily neither of us go TOO burnt.




Of course we also got to spend all-day every-day together. Which was absolutely wonderful!



The whole week included lots of traveling, but the beautiful views were worth all of the dead bugs on the windshield! We were also lucky enough to sit in the emergency exit seats while traveling on the smallest plane I've ever seen.


After arriving safely back in Baker City, Brett showed me what living in a small town is all about. We went ground squirrel hunting, rode 4-wheelers, and spent a few nights up at his families cabin.



Not too bad for the first week of being married. :) By the end of it though, we were glad to be done traveling and excited to get back to normal life.

Wow, that sounds like an amazing amount of fun. And you got to be together the whole time!! (I liked that part)

Anytime people take pictures on their honeymoon and then want to show them to people I get nervous. This was cool, though.

I can't wait to hang out when I get back to the bubbly city!

My favorite picture was Kirsten hanging out the window of that truck holding a huge gun and grinning wildly. She is scaring more than just ground squirrels with that evil glint in her eye, that's for sure.
