Sun, Sand & the Beach...

Since everyone has asked us what we are doing for a honeymoon, I thought I would write about our mini-honeymoon in Florida. We are planning on going on an extended one in December when it is cold and yucky here and our schedule slows down. Mexico is kind of the plan but as to where, we are not to sure. Anyway that is besides the point. We did however sneak away to Florida for a couple of days after the reception in Utah. Of course it was combined with working a roping but that didn't matter to us. We were ready for the sun, sand and water. We flew to Pensacola and then drove up the beach to Destin where we spent the night. We splurged on a really nice hotel that was right by the water and then we hit the beach. Below are a bunch of photos from our trip that I thought you might enjoy.

On our way!!

Ben, I swear he is a fish!

Enjoying the sun!

We found our dream beach house! Hmmm Maybe someday!

After we got done with the beach we drove inland to the roping at Marianna. We had a great time at the roping. We got done pretty early each day and so we heard there was a swimming hole at the Florida State Caverns. Well we were all about that and so off we went. The state park was beautiful and the forest was so green and pretty but the swimming hole wasn't so great! Check out the pics below!

I thought this pic was hilarious. It is the supposedly swimming hole - but you have to read the sign!


I didn't think it looked to inviting...

After the roping ended on Sunday we took off back to the beach. We made it to Destin in time to rent some jet ski's. We had a blast except when we tipped ove the jet ski but we did get a laugh over that. The water was so warm we didn't even mind. After we returned the jet ski's we headed back to Pensacola and had dinner along the beach. That next morning we flew back to Texas and back to work. It was a great mini-honeymoon! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as you can tell!

Headed to Jet Ski!

What a beautiful sunset!
