The Honeymoon

We had so much fun in Costa Rica on our honeymoon. We flew to San Jose and stayed at a beautiful hotel (Grano de Oro). The fountain was beautiful in the sitting room. We didn't want to leave, but knew our condo was waiting for us in Estrillos Oeste.

This was the view from our condo. It was amazing! It rained almost every night. One night we opened all of the blinds and had the most spectacular show of thunder and lightening.

ZIPLINE!

Ziplines in Costa Rica are amazing! This one had 15 lines on it and the longest one was just under 1/2 mile long. Thanks to Grandma Andrews for such a fun wedding present!

Our first accident as husband and wife! How sweet. Yes, we were told that everyone in Costa Rica drove a little crazy, but surely we wouldn't succumb to such a thing. Well, long story short, L was passing at the same time as the car in front of us and looked to the side to make sure the 2 bikers were not going to get hit. The car in front decided not to pass and slowed WAY down. Now, I had seen the entire thing happening, but had just sworn that I would stop backseat driving, therefore I resisted the urge to say...watch out! Well, at least until I realized that L really didn't see what was coming! We were both fine (besides a little whip-lash) and met some lovely people from Holland in that SUV we ran into!

This is the coolest tree ever! I love how the little horse is underneath it to get out of the rain...it will forever remind me of Costa Rica.

Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert

We had so much fun on our wedding day! Thank you to everyone who came so far to be a part of our special day. It meant so much to us to have our family there with us (especially to our dear uncle who had to go back for his recommend...we would have waited even longer to have everyone there).

We should be posting more photos soon, but since this blog probably hasn't been checked (or changed) much in the past few months, there is no rush :)

By the way...we just found out that LG doesn't have to live on base! We get to live together while he is at Quantico! Now we just have to find a place to live.
