We’re back! Turks & Caicos may be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen and to spend a week there with my new wife was simply amazing. 50 years from now I will still be reflecting upon the memories we created these past two weeks.
I was supposed to make a post on Friday detailing our day, but relaxing and doing nothing got in the way. We spent all day at the beach Friday. We floated around on a few water toys, did a little snorkeling and reclined under our own canopy. The highlight, for me anyway, was sailing a hobiecat “wave,” a 13 foot catarmaran. (Apparently it doesn’t matter if you don’t already know how to sail, only that you can sign a wavier form.) We tried for the third evening to catch a sun set and the “green flash” Kyllan told you about, only to miss it due to cloud cover again. There was also a wedding that evening. It took place at the spa (you’ll understand after you see the pictures) and later they took photos on the beach. Even with the cloud cover, the sky was beautiful. Unfortunately for the couple, their photographer did not take a single photo into the setting sun. I snapped off a couple from my lounge chair on the boardwalk though. Friday night we ate at Grace’s Cottage, which is apparently one of the nicest restaurants on the island. Afterwards we walked about a quarter of a mile along the beach back to our resort and took a quick dip in the hot tub.
We left the resort at noon Saturday. We didn’t do very much before leaving, besides try to take in just how breathtaking the entire week had been. It’s Sunday morning now and we are trying to catch up on what happened in the real world while we were gone. There are over 650 photos on my camera, after deleting the unwanteds and duplicates. My Uncle Sam also gave me over 200 photos he took of the rehearsal dinner, wedding and breakfast, each. Oh, and we never posted about my nephew’s 3rd birthday and party on the 3rd. I have 200 photos of that. We simply can’t post all of those photos, but don’t worry, in the next 24 to 48 hours we will decided which ones are going up on flickr and make a post. (That gives me enough time to air brush on some abs!)
Glad you guys made it back safely. Big game today, Will. Jags vs. Falcons. We’ve been so caught up in your wedding we have forgot to trash talk.
Welcome back…
I wanted to say a special thanks to the both of you, as well as to your parents, for treating us to a truly magical weekend. I had such a wonderful time, and thought everything was absolutely beautiful. I can’t imagine all energy and work that must of gone into planning each of the events, but I certainly appreciate all of your efforts.
I’m glad you were able to get some much needed and well-deserved rest and relaxation on your honeymoon. It sounds like it was a tropical paradise. I can’t wait to see the pictures!
Neil, I was just telling Kyllan the same thing this morning… Well lucky for you, I guess. You just would have ended up with your foot in your mouth. Seven sacks, huh?
Melanie, our trip was what a tropical paradise wants to be when it grows up.
This sounds like such a wonderful trip! I can’t wait to see the pictures 🙂
