OUR HONEYMOON!!!!!!!!!!

After 6 months of being married we finally had the chance to go on our Honeymoon!  We picked St. Martin in the Caribbean.  The island was very unique and extremely warm.  Half of the island is owned by the French and the other side is owed by the Dutch.  We stayed on the Dutch and visted the French side a couple of times.  The diversity allowed Jared to speak French to most people and anyone that would with him! The food was great.  We had lots of fish, french pastries, and french drinks.  Jared was in heaven!
The islanders were so friendly and helpful.  Everybody was willing to help us get around and never cared if we asked for help!  The traffic was terrible but nobody seemed to care.  The island only had 4 top lights on the whole thing.  People also honked when they were being friendly. 
We mostly played on the beach and ate lots of food.  We went snorkling, beach hoping (different French beaches), the french and dutch shopping markets, a rope course, and got a massage.  My only advice don't get a massage out of the US.  They are a little to open for my taste.  We felt very uncomfortable and ran out of the place as soon as we were done!





Sunday night Jared ate these jerk flavored ribs and was crazy about them the rest of the trip.



Snorkeling was a blast! Jared had never gone before and had tones of fun.  We were able to see a starfish and a octopus.

The Rope Course/Zip Line
It was 95 degrees and 100% humidity.  Our close were soaked:(



Yes, that is the fish head, eyeball, scales, and fin on my plate.  Tasted pretty good.

Tried escargot for the first time! It tasted amazing!

Our last night in St. Martin!


Jared actually was the one to write this in the sand.  There was another newlyweed couple there and she tried to get to join in and he wouldn't have it! Jared's the best!!!!
