honeymoon - yea i'm a little behind

the honeymoon.  it was great.  it was the first time jonathan and i went on a vacation just the two of us.  it was the first time in about 9 months that we didn't have to think about what had to get done.  it was relaxing and peaceful.  fun and new.  an adjustment for sure, but good.

we went to the blue ridge mountains right after the wedding (aka when tornadoes were sweeping through raleigh).  the resort is called primland - look it up - i dont feel like hyperlinking because im tired and lazy right now.

it was absolutely stunning.  jonathan and i really were like two little kids at disney world.  when we pulled up to the lodge (7 miles into the mountains) we both just kind of went silent and then that followed with a lot of "oh my word" "dude this is insane" "holy cow" "i can't believe we could afford something like this" "youve gotta be kidding me."  the lodge alone was gorgeous.  stunning really.  straight in the mountains.

oh wait i have a picture.  i will stop being lazy and show you.

that's from the car and not the best picture - but that's it.  the lodge.

 

this was right at the entrance of primland. everything was rustic.  there was hardly no one there.  we LOVED the setting.  very us. 

this was my fish that jonathan got off the hook.  because i don't like to touch fish.  this was our favorite part of primland by far.  we spent a whole day fishin.  just us at the lake.  it was a blast.

then we headed down to the keys.  one of my best friends growing up trains dolphins at the resort we went to.  so it was awesome just hangin out with her.  it was a totally different feel than the mountains.  it was hot weather lots of people and lots of things to do.

this was the live music around the fire pit at the resort.  this was my very second favorite part of the trip (second to the dolphins with jess!).  they were all reggae, jack johnson-y, with a touch of janis joplin.  my favorite music.  we listened to them a couple nights by the fire.  i loved it.

then we flew home.  then we unpacked 4000 boxes.  then we got ready to farm, go back to work, and live in the real world.  life is good - real world or honeymoon world - being married is great.
