Wedding Wednesdays: Honeymooning in Greece

Hey my sweeties! I have been in SERIOUS daydreaming mode today.  Got to work a couple hours ago and haven't accomplished much at all.  Today is my boss's last day in the office and since we "technically" won't have clients tomorrow, I am OFFICIALLY declaring today as the last day of work until next Tuesday. Woowhoo!!  I LOVE long weekends and holidays. Thank God for Memorial Day!

As you may know, the Husband and I have YET to take our honeymoon since the wedding, but we are still planning for Europe some time this year. I can't believe June is almost upon us! Where have the days gone???

Today's posting is dedicated to wedding honeymoons in GREECE.  So loving this beautiful resorts and images from The Blue Palace and The Romanos Resorts. I hope this is what heaven looks like...

Our First Vacation as Newlyweds



Happy Monday everyone! I've been anxiously waiting to post this blog entry and I'm so excited to share it with you! Last week, my husband and I took an amazing trip to Colorado for a much needed vacation. This was our first trip after our wedding and we were happy to share it with our great friends.  We stayed in Avon and snowboarded at Beaver Creek.  Did you know Beaver Creek is ranked one of the top spots for a destination wedding?  I can definitely see why. 

Our trip was (in the words of snowboarders) EPIC! This was my first time seeing snow and it was everything I thought it would be - BEAUTIFUL. It was so serene and peaceful...and very cold. We shredded the "nar nar" (that's snow).  I came back extremely tired (from altitude sickness) with several bruises, but I had a great time and can't wait to go back! Here are some pictures from our trip.

Waiting for the plane so I took pictures of our feet

That's me! I finally got it after a few hours of constantly falling. FUN!!!

Off To Colorado!

We are taking a short trip to Colorado and will be back next Monday.  We are jumpstarting the New Year by going to a new vacation spot with some old friends. It's gonna be a wonderful and fantastic time. Have we mentioned how excited we are about this trip???? 

I've posted some of our favorite vacation spots we will go to in the next couple years. Something for you to daydream about...

Hope you guys have a great week and, as always, please remember to spread some POSITIVITUDE to old friends and new ones as well.

Viva Las Vegas!!!

It’s been a week since my last posting, but I have been recuperating from my fabulous, fun, and insane Vegas trip.  I had the most amazing time with my friends and we all walked away agreeing this was the Mother of all Trips.  7 of my closest friends went and I don’t think I have laughed so much and so hard in my life.  My throat is still hoarse from last weekend. Wow.  That is all I can say…wow.   

Seriously, I have the most wonderful friends a girl can ask for.  Among some of the most memorable moments were (1) I found out my good friend is also engaged (YAY!), (2) My cousin, Rita, (bless her heart) stayed awake for BOTH nights she was there and came out with us to party and had such a fun time…I really love her for that, and (3) the memorable somersault in the hallway. LOL     

PS - My Bestie, Vivian, IS THE BOMB!!!!  She organized all of this and did an outstanding, ridiculously amazing job.  I heart her. She is a one-in-a-million :) 

Hotel we stayed at: 

Hard Rock All-Suite Tower

- I HIGHLY recommend this place.  Although it’s “off the strip” it is only a 1-2 minute ride to the strip. 

- The rooms are HUGE!  We thought of squeezing 7 girls into 1 suite (roughly 700 sq ft) but after our suitcases exploded, we thought twice about that.  Still, there would have been enough room for us to sleep on the beds/couch.

- The staff are so incredibly nice and upbeat. Customer service is great!

- Mr. Lucky’s Diner is open 24 hrs. This was very helpful seeing as we would eat at 4am.

Places we ate at:

- Mrs. Lucky’s Diner (we ate here a lot because of the convenience but it was really good; great portions)

- Hash House A Go Go (Ginormous dishes)

- In-N-Out Burger (Can’t pass this up)

- Bouchon Restaurant (French-American)

Clubs we went to/People we rubbed elbows with:

- We got VIP bottle service at every club we went to (yes, I am bragging….but only because we came to Vegas not having anything finalized or confirmed.  I swear – God was blessing us!)

- Vanity, Trist, Pure, Tao, & Lavo

- Got to meet Red Sox Player David Ortiz “Big Papi”

- Vienna from The Bachelor (she was engaged to Jake “the pilot”)…she is actually very cute!

- VP & Director of The Venetian Casino

- The One & Only Thomas Keller AND his chef crew – very fun and nice guys
