Honeymoon!!

We are going to have blogs out of order. We know we need to do our rehearsal dinner first and our wedding, but we do not have pictures from that those yet. They are in the mail. We thought we would do our honeymoon since we took our own pictures of that (obviously) and have those to show. Tim and I spent our first night in Wichita, KS at Castle Inn. We really liked it there. We got to enjoy a picnic across the street by the river. We had a picnic lunch packed for us of all the food that was at the wedding so we got to enjoy that!

On Sunday, we flew to PA so we could spend the rest of our honeymoon at the Poconos. We stayed at Cove Haven resort and loved it. When we first got there, we found out they had upgraded us to the champagne glass room for the first two nights (WE had those rooms the last three nights already so it was such a special treat to not have to move rooms and be able to settle. Plus they were the best rooms!!!) These rooms had a fire place, swimming pool, sauna, and a 7 foot champagne glass whirl pool. We loved it.

Our day usually started our with sleeping in until the phone rang telling us that breakfast in bed would arrive in about 10 minutes. We got to pick whatever we wanted off the menu, and they would bring it to our room during a time we had selected. We loved it. Then after breakfast, we would fill our afternoons doing all kinds of activities. We did archery (Tim was great, and I stunk), basketball (we entered into a couples free throw shooting contest and won!!), pool, putt-putt, ice skating, racquetball, water skiing (Tim's first time, and he did very well after a nose dive which was pretty funny to watch. In all seriousness though, he was going back and forth over the waves very quickly!!), paddle boating, biking, speedboat riding, golfing (at the golfing range...something funny to watch me try to drive a golf ball. I was aweful), horseback riding, etc. We loved doing all the activities. We even did a couple loads of laundry there. (It was free!!)

For supper, we sat with 3 other couples and got to know some other people. We really enjoyed the food as well. The first night there, we had prime rib...it was so good, baked potato, etc. Tim and I sat there for 2 hours as we went through soup and salad, main course, and then desert. It was all so good, but we laughed at the end thinking that was the longest meal we have ever eaten. Tuesday night was international buffet. It was more in and out which was nice. We just served ourselves at the buffet. (By the way, every night they had like 10 or so different options of desert with a desert bar of toppings to put on whatever you picked. Tim loved the cheesecake and ate it every time for desert topped with strawberries and whipped cream. That was his favorite part of supper every night!!) Wednesday was another sit down meal which we loved. Thursday night was an awesome night as well. It was pasta night. They had two of their cooks make our pasta over fire with whatever we picked to go into it. It was awesome. Then they brought out the different meats and such. Let me tell you, every meal we ate, I think we both enjoyed eating a little too much. It was a good thing we were so active because we ate like crazy.

After supper, we would just relax in the room while all the craziness (clubbing, etc.) went on around us.

We had a wonderful honeymoon and are so thankful for the time we could be together.
