Pirate Golf Gets Even Sillier

I want to begin this post with a lazy-lazy-LAZY confession. On our honeymoon, we were so lazy that in order to not have to do the dishes, we actually ate cereal together out of this big serving bowl. Haha. Hey - we were on vacation! Can you blame us?!

That evening, we exerted a tiny bit of energy and went out to play Pirate Mini-Golf. We had driven past this place several times and Mike had decided it was essential that we check it out. Somehow, I think we managed to make pirate golf even sillier than it sounds. 

It started out normal enough...just your standard putt-putt fun. 

Then we busted out a few silly poses. I mean, we were playing putt-putt on board pirate ships and in caves with hidden treasure, so we had to! 

  
This guy was totally scared of me and my polka-dots.

 Then...things got really, really silly! First it was - stand on one foot putt-putt. 

Behind the back putt-putt. 

 For this next part, I want to assure all my animal-loving friends that no reptiles were injured in the ensuing silliness. I promise. The final level of silliness all started with this frog... 

This little guy was on one of the last holes...and he was not moving.... 

We kept thinking if we got closer he would hop away...

But we got pretty close....and there he remained....

Yep....still there....

Still there.....

He actually didn't move until after we had reached down, picked up the balls and played almost the entire hole around him. I didn't do very well because I kept worrying our little friend was going to hop into harms way, but he sat there until our poor putt-putt technique was unbearable....and then he safely hopped away.

I just couldn't get over how silly some of these tombstones were. Haha. 

 It's all fun and games....until someone gets stuck in the stocks. 

We clearly had more fun than most small children probably have at this place, and by the end of it we were glad we had stuck it out for 36...that's right 36!!!! holes of pirate putt-putt fun. 

I think we may have just one more set of honeymoon photos left, and then we'll move on to the apartment and other fun "married people" stuff. Check back soon!

I also should have the disk with all our photos from the wedding within the next month. I will let you know once we have it so that we can send you details on how to order prints! 


Lots of love!
Kathy (& Mike)

N'Orleans Ya'll

Since it wasn't too far away, Mike and I took a road trip during our honeymoon to visit New Orleans! Neither one of us had been there before, so we had a blast checking out all the places we had heard of before but never seen. 

First stop -- lunch! We checked out Central Grocery thanks to a tip from my good friend Andrew and were served this ENORMOUS muffaletta by a scary looking Italian man with absolutely no people skills. His fingerless black gloves appeared to confirm my suspicion that he was in the mafia. Creepy man, but very, very good sandwich. Add onto that the fact that we're eating this enormous heap of Italian deliciousness on a park bench by the river with the steamboat playing music in the back ground, making it oh-so idyllic.  

Here we are trying to take a picture of ourselves with the St. Louis Cathedral in the background. 

 Since our arms weren't quite long enough, here's a shot of the cathedral by itself. SO beautiful!

 I couldn't resist taking a picture of this drunken street performer who kept singing "When the Saints Go Marching In" over and over. In case you can't tell, that's a small brown paper sack in his hand. 

 Our favorite part of New Orleans might just have been the food. We were told our trip would not be complete without a visit to Cafe Du Monde. Thanks again to Andrew for the tip! 

YUM!

 We also went on a buggy tour of the city and it was really nice to get a city tour. We did a lot of walking around, but this helped get us started and provided some really pretty views! 

We had a really great time visiting...and conveniently checked out by around 4:30pm. Bourbon Street was already starting to live up to its name by 3pm, and let's face it, Mike and I are not "night life" people. haha. Still, we had a TON of fun walking around and seeing all the sights. Mike also bargained for me a fantastic pair of flor de lis earrings from the open market. All in all - wonderful visit! 

The Honeymoon: Part 2

This one is ALL about the DOLPHINS! While we were in Orange Beach, Mike and I went on this awesome dolphin cruise. We were amazed at how many dolphins we saw! 

Here we are, rocking our shades on the dolphin cruise! This really was probably one of our favorite things we did while we were there. 

Thanks to the video setting on my camera, we also got a couple of cool videos of our dolphin friends! 

One fun fact we learned on the cruise was that when dolphins feel happy their bellies turn pink. It was so much fun noticing how pink their bellies got the longer they played in the wake. We were glad the cruise guide clarified, because at first Mike and I just thought the belly flops were getting to them. haha. 

Hope you enjoyed our dolphin pics! Next post to come...New Orleans!

I can't wait to get prints made! We have so many empty frames at the apartment right now hanging on the walls just waiting for the wedding pics! haha. So exciting!

The Honeymoon: Part 1

On the wedding night, Mike and I stayed at this adorable bed and breakfast in Jeffersonville, Indiana. It was a really nice place and breakfast the next morning was DELICIOUS! 

Then, we took off for Orange Beach, Alabama, and saw this very appropriate sign along the way! We were on our way for our first ever vacation together, just the two of us. 

We got to the time share (Thanks, Grandma and Martin!) pretty late that night, but checked in without any real issues. We weren't sure what to expect since we called ahead to request an ocean view room and were told that they were all booked up for that week! "Yeah, right." I thought. There's really no way that they were booked solid, but what they failed to mention is that EVERY room has an ocean view! haha. Needless to say, our room was AWESOME and we really enjoyed having the kitchen and extra living space so we could veg out!

Check out the view from our balcony! 

We LOVED having this kitchen so we could take it easy in the morning and not have to worry about finding a place to go get breakfast. 

The only bummer is that I didn't get a picture of our AWESOME bathroom. I mean, it was enormous! It had a nice size hot tub and a BIG shower, plus his & her sinks, a vanity area, closet space, and a closet with a washer and dryer. Yep...we were totally spoiled! 

Here's the fantastic view from standing on our balcony! We saw very few signs of the oil spill except that it was never very crowded around the beach, restaurants or any tourist-y places. It was beautiful.

SUCH a pretty place!

We LOVED the place we stayed and enjoyed a couple of days just hanging out on the beach! It was wonderful! Special thanks to Grandma and Martin for sharing this special opportunity for us to stay in their time share exchange!

(Next post on deck should include a video from our dolphin cruise! I've been told that posting videos isn't too difficult, but we shall see. )
