Relaxing Honeymoon

“Hey, you’re back from Mexico, how was the honeymoon? What did you do on your vacation?” many friends have asked in the past few days.

“Well, umm,” I stammer, looking for a good answer, “we relaxed…”

I know, I know, usually when we travel we return with stories of corn palaces, parasailing, and adventurous hikes, etc. Not so much on this trip. But, ahhh, what a relief that was. While the wedding was not stressful, thanks mostly to all the work mom put in ahead of time and the work Kyle’s family + bridal party did the days right before, it was busy. Here’s how busy we were- for the month preceding the wedding Kyle and I each only read one book!

So it was wonderful to arrive at our all inclusive resort and just be able to plop down by the pool and read! One answer to the question of what we did on vacation could be that we read…a lot. Thus, I present to you our book lists from our trip to Mexico.
