Besides making you sick, don’t these flowers appear 3D?

Huntington Beach

We returned from the honeymoon on Wednesday and didn’t stay for long. My family had invited us to join them at Huntington Beach for the weekend. Why not? It was Joni’s sister Jana’s birthday, so we stopped to see her…. dance in the parade at Disneyland. She was great and we got to take in some rides and fireworks. The next day was spent entirely at the beach. It was great, even if the beaches were totally different than those in the Caribbean that we had become used to.

Edit: I forgot to mention… Leigh’s birthday!  We celebrated it in Huntington with her.  She’s so old now.

And with that, I’m caught up on my blogging. Joni says we’re just boring lawyers now, so I’m not sure what I’ll blog about. Guess we better do something.

We rented a car and drove to the El Yunque rainforest. We saw this thug on a horse along the way.

Then we stopped so I could get a picture of a waterfall. It started to rain. A lot. Notice that we’re dry in the picture above.

We were completely soaked by the time we ran back to the car.

Honeymoon Cruise

Yay! I have no pictures from the wedding. Sorry to disappoint. But I do have some from the cruise.

Barbados (Paynes Bay)! We took a taxi to the beach and realized we had no money to get back. All I had was an American Express card. So to get back, we said nothing to our taxi driver and when we arrived at the boat we told him we needed to get the money. He was willing to wait because he wanted his fare. I hung out with him while Joni ran back to the boat. Meanwhile, he and the other taxi drivers had some vodka.

This sign proved to be very accurate. The umbrellas kept flipping inside out in the wind.
