In what felt like the blink of an eye, we are back from our honeymoon!! It’s wild to think we are back from a trip we’ve been talking about and planning for nearly a year. We were married in August but opted to hold off on honeymooning until this spring because I needed time after our wedding to job search.
James and I went on a cruise (his choice) through the Mediterranean (my choice), which was the perfect way to hit multiple highlight spots in a short amount of time. Neither of us had been to Europe before and we wanted to see as much as we could. We knew it would be impossible to do it all but we definitely made a respectable dent in our ultimate must-see and must-do (and if we’re being honest, must-eat!) list.
In the last week-and-a-half, we visited Spain, France, and Italy with a few port stops in each country. It was certainly a whirlwind of a trip. According to my Apple Watch, I walked more than 100,000 steps during our vacation! I lived out my Passport to Europe with Samantha Brown dream — anyone else remember loving that show??
This was my first vacation ever where I didn’t bring my work phone or work laptop. It was a mad dash at work in the weeks leading up to the trip and I felt like a hamster on a spinning wheel to get my projects in a good place. But as soon as I got to the airport, I was able to truly unwind, unplug, and remember that my shoulders aren’t supposed to be up to my ears 😂.
I’ll share more about our honeymoon and our cruise experience (another first for both of us) in the coming weeks, spacing out the posts so this won’t turn into a cruise/honeymoon blog!
Our European vacation was a dream and we’re already talking about when we can go back!
