Honeymoon

For our honeymoon, we rented a villa in St. Maartin for 10 days.  Our days typically included sitting around on the kitchen balcony drinking coffee in the morning, reading, hanging out by our pool, going to the beach, and having some amazing meals.  Oh, and going to bed around 8:30 every night.  One night we got in bed, exhausted from our day, and turned on the TV to see what time it was... and found the time to be 7:20 p.m.  We then decided maybe we should watch a movie. All in all, the honeymoon was beautiful, relaxing, and absolutely amazing.

Enjoying our pool... and our view

Our first morning - pretty nice way to wake up!

The beach by our villas

Mullet Beach - about 10 minutes away from our villa

Our first dinner out

 I had to try a caribbean lobster... which ended up being HUGE! 

It ended up feeding me for the rest of the honeymoon. Literally. I was still eating it on our last day.

Look closely at the sky: pretty cool surprise when we woke up one morning

On the beach: pretty routine

Hanging out on the boardwalk in Philipsburg, which is where all the cruise ships would dock

This was a cool restaurant where we could literally look through the floor planks and see the water underneath us

A very cool secluded beach by our villa (which you can see in 

the distance - it was one of those white buildings)

Out at what ended up being one of our favorite places: a beach bar right by the airport called Karakter.  The bar was literally in an old school bus and you could watch the planes take off and land about 100 yards away.

 Sunset back at our pool

The typical morning routine: breakfast, coffee, and reading on the balcony

Out to eat at this amazing french restaurant in Grand Case called La Villa.  This was definitely my favorite meal of the trip.

We spend our last hour in St. Maarten on Airport Beach, the beach that is literally right in front of the airport.  You can stand here and watch the planes come in for landing, and it looks like they are going to land directly on top of you.
