Wedding Excitement!

Our Honeymoon:

We went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and stayed at the Marriott's Beach Place Towers. It was a great place to stay. Thanks Dad for hooking us up!


This is a view from the hotel out to the ocean. They had a bunch of shops and vendors walking to the beach. It was fun to look at some of them. They even sold alligator heads!



Along the street of our Hotel they have a bunch of Restaurants and Swim Shops.
"Tuck that thing in boy or your gonna get it caught on a trip wire"
Who said it and what movie?



We had the chance to eat at a couple of places. It was really good and it was nice to sit by the beach and eat.

The beach was so nice. The sand was nice and the water was so warm!



We did see some strange things though on the beach.




One day we went to the Everglades to go on an Air boat ride. They also had a little exhibit of animals. They had some pretty big Alligators! Sad to say the ones in the exhibit were the only ones we saw. We didn't spot any on the air boat ride.


Also for donating $2 we got to hold a baby alligator. It looked more like a teenager alligator than a baby. I wasn't too sure about holding one, but I did!




Another day we drove down to Miami & Miami Beach and went to all of their great shops. Ben was excited to see this store there. They have some crazy stuff. It was fun to go in.


Downtown Miami


Too bad Basketball hadn't started yet. That would have been fun to go to a game and see D wade get his game on,


but we got to go to a baseball game in the Land Shark Stadium. The Marlins played the Phillies.

Ryan Howard is one of the best players in the Major Leagues so it was fun to see him play and he had his usual good game.




On the airplane we met a lady who was from Florida and she gave us a great list of places to go. One she wrote down was Saw Grass Mills Mall. It was one of the biggest malls I have ever been too. They had so many stores and they also had a Rain Forest Cafe so we ate there.



It was a great trip. And very relaxing. It was really hard to come back home and face reality! Hopefully we will get the chance to go on another trip again soon!


We haven't gotten all of our wedding pictures from our photographer yet, but here is a link to her blog with her favorites that she posted, and also the ones that my dad took that day if you haven't seen them yet:
