Stephenson Wedding {Honeymoon: Part Three}

I have loved sharing with all my readers about my honeymoon this past week but sadly this is the last post about our wonderful trip! Read Part One and Part Two.

Wednesday - Day Four

Wednesday we woke up refreshed and ready for another relaxing day. We set up another excursion for our fourth day - a Sunset Catamaran so we were only going to have a few hours at the pool before we left. The weather was beautiful and I thought it would be the perfect day to wear my "Wifey" tank. Remember this post? If you like tanks like this be sure to check her Etsy Shop out!



Since we weren't going to be at the pool for long we decided to get a cabana and boy was it relaxing. At first we were miserable because of course we picked the one directly in the sun, but we figured out how to clothes the curtains and when we did it was so relaxing!



Finally it was time to go on the Catamaran - with 40 other people I might add. We didn't know it was going to be that many but it was still nice. The weather was perfect and it wasn't that cold out on the boat! The views were gorgeous! We enjoyed it but we would never do another catamaran cruise again, at least a sunset one that is supposed to be romantic because there were so many other people there.






Thursday - Day Five

Thursday was our last full day in Mexico and it was gloomy, so it was the perfect day to relax. We slept in the latest we had slept in all week and ordered room service for breakfast..which was nasty! We lounged around in our slippers until about lunch time.


We finally got motivated to get up and go to lunch. We ate lunch came back to the room and napped again until about 4pm. Clearly we had not been getting enough sleep during the rest of our trip. Finally Timmy told me he wasn't laying in the bed anymore and we got up and headed to our old and faithful Sugar Reef Bar. We were a daily visitor usually about 2 times a day. This bar was so neat it was outside and had TVs, ping pong, pool table and swings as seats! 



We met this really nice couple that were also on their Honeymoon from England and Timmy ended up entering the darts tournament with them. We ended up staying at that bar until about 6 before we headed back to the room to get ready for our last dinner at the resort. We went back to the steak house for dinner then headed back to the Sugar Reef Bar. We had the intentions of going to the magic show they had at 10pm on the resort but we ran back into the couple from England and next time we looked at the clock it was 11:30...completely missed it. But we all had so much fun!

Friday - Day Six

Friday we woke up packed and headed home. We didn't want to leave but it helps knowing we will be back in Mexico in a little over a month!

Stephenson Wedding {Honeymoon: Part Two}


Yesterday you all got to see the first day of our spectacular Honeymoon! Today we will go into a little more into the details!

Monday - Day Two


Monday morning we got up early and headed straight to the pool! Since it was the first day we would get to relax by the pool I wasn't sure how crowded the pool got so I wanted to be sure to get a good chair. Once we finally picked our chairs and we got settled in we were starving...but of course it was right at the time where the only food that there was were at the restaurants and we were not dressed for that so we had to wait for about an hour or so until the pool buffet opened. To pass the time we headed to the pool bar!


After we finally got something to eat somehow Timmy convinced me to go check out the beach. I dislike beaches very much but I knew we had to go out there at least once so we had to get it over with. It was gorgeous!





The rest of the day was spend relaxing by the pool, getting sun and making multiple trips to the swim up pool bar! We met some good friends that we hung out with the rest of the trip!




After a long day at the pool we finally went inside around 5 and got ready for dinner and our first excursion of the trip! We went and had a steak dinner at a restaurant on the resort, oh my gosh this steak was so good! So good we went back for a second night our last night of the trip!


After dinner we headed to the bus to pick us up and take us to Coco Bongo! If you have never heard of Coco Bongo it is like a Vegas Show but they say better! It was so much fun! But they picked us up at 9:15PM and weren't coming back for us until 3:40AM- so we ended up taking a cab home around 1AM because there was no way we were going to last that long! But it was such a fun experience!

Tuesday - Day Three

Tuesday morning we woke up and were so hungry and went immediately to the breakfast buffet and then of course hit up the pool! 






We spent all day with the friends we met the day before and the pool ended up having a Foam Party in the afternoon which was so neat!! They filled the pool with soap and everyone was having a blast!





Later that night we went to the dinner again outside by the pool, this time it was American food and it was a lot better. They had a fire show and then a beach party later that night..but we didn't last very long because we were exhausted!

Stephenson Wedding {Honeymoon: Part One}


Wedding Wednesday is finally here and I have a special surprise for you! Today, tomorrow and Friday will be all about our Honeymoon!!!

Mexico...I miss you so much! You were so relaxing. You were so much fun. You were so warm. Now we are back in the real world and I keep daydreaming of all the endless drinks and all the fun Timmy and I had! 

Timmy and I had the most amazing honeymoon! We went to Mexico and stayed at the all inclusive Secrets Maroma Beach Riveria Cancun and it was absolutely gorgeous! We couldn't have picked a better spot to spend out honeymoon - it had exactly what we wanted - fun and romance! Now let's get to the best part - the pictures!

Sunday - Day One

We left RDU very early - our flight was at 7:30 so we had to get up around 3:30ish. The only thing that got me up was knowing we were going to be in Mexico for the next 6 days! We grabbed some breakfast when we got to the airport and waited and waited for them to start boarding the plane. Of course there was something wrong and they had to change planes last minute so Timmy and I were getting worried we would leave late and miss our connecting flight that left only 40 minutes after we would arrive in ATL. Luckily we left on time and made our connecting flight and made it to Mexico in perfect time!



Of course when we got there we were greeted by all of the employees all so excited for new guests! We went to go check in and I sat my purse down on the ground and I had 2 employees running up to me saying "No, no!" and brought a stool for my purse - I knew this was the place for me after that!


After we were all checked in, we got the sales pitch. "Buy real estate with us and you will get this...blah blah blah" Don't ever fall for it. We were roped into going the next day to breakfast but bailed. Once we ditched the sales guy we made it to our room! Oh I LOVED our room. We upgraded a few months before we left to a room with a private swim out pool that you share with about 6 other rooms and it was so worth it. We rarely used the swim out but it was nice to have that view and the porch.










Once I completely unpacked my bags, a terrible habit I have to do before I can do anything else, we went to explore the resort. We didn't get too far before we had a margarita in our hand and found our seat at the bar. We got some info on the resort and found out they were having a mexican fiesta out by the pool that night - so we knew we had to go! Our first night in Mexico and there was going to be a huge feast - yes!! So we went back to the room, got ready and headed to the fiesta!


When we got there I was so disappointed...it was my normal mexican food...it was authentic and I am such a picky eater so I had a hard time. But boy Timmy didn't! Timmy was loving it all! There was a mariachi band going around singing to the guests so I enjoyed the entertainment more than the food!



Timmy could tell I was not enjoying my food so being the wonderful husband he is, he didn't go back for thirds and we left dinner. It was a Sunday night so I knew how we were going to spend the rest of the night...posted up at the bar watching the Patriots game. By about 10pm I was exhausted and had to go back to the room to get some sleep...remember we had been up since 3AM! Before I went to bed I ordered room service and discovered their delicious pizza they had and oh man from there on out room service was going to be my best friend!!

Come back tomorrow to see some more of our Honeymoon!!!
