The Dominican Republic was beautiful and the resort was perfect- white sand beaches, friendly staff, and the most beautiful (and excessive) room we could hope for. We had two rooms, two bathrooms, two Jacuzzis, an amazing walk-in closet, and a pool we could hop into from our patio. Our guess is that it was bigger than our Bungalow!

I really wanted one of these signs! Ours said "Just Married." We took it with us when we left and Nathan hung it on our door when we got home!
A lot of friends told us that we would be so exhausted from wedding planning and wedding weekend events that we would want to sit by the beach or pool all day sipping fruity drinks. They were right!
After a few days of doing nothing, we went on an excursion to the Carribean Sea. We took a bus to the Carribean then boarded a speed boat that took us all over the sea. First, we went to a private beach where we were served mixed drinks and beer that tasted like liquified bread-yuck! We loaded back onto the boats and went to a sand bar where we held massive starfish (probably the size of my head- which is big!) Our next stop was Saona Island, where we had a delicious cookout and relaxed by the beach. The best part was saved for last: we boarded a huge catamaran and headed back to our starting point. Locals taught us how to dance, and we met new friends from all over the country!
Each night the resort had some kind of entertainment- we saw a Michael Jackson tribute concert and a hilarious girls versus guys game that involved old men losing articles of clothing. Lucky for us, we left before it came to that :)
