Tucson Mini-Honeymoon

One thing we knew we wanted to do after the wedding was get away for a few days. We don't leave for our honeymoon until June 10, 2012, but we needed to do something the few days after the wedding to kind of decompress from the excitement of the day. Plus, we had been completely surrounded by other people for a week leading up to our wedding. We just wanted to be together, just husband and wife, for a few days.

Thankfully my mom was able to reserve us a room at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Oro Valley, AZ (just outside Tucson). Because my mom has some connections there, we got an amazing room that looked out over the entire Tucson area. 

The view from our room also included a shot of this really cute '05 Chevy Cobalt that had "Just Married" painted all over it. Those people must be so lucky! And so happy!

  

                                     

The first day we were in Tucson, I went down to the pool for a bit and Jason took a nap. It was so relaxing to get to just do nothing for a day. 

That night, we went out to dinner at our favorite Tucson restaurant, Anthony's in the Catalinas. Here is a picture of us before leaving for dinner:

The next morning, slept in and ordered room service for breakfast. The room we were in was so amazing, Jason sat on the balcony and read the paper before breakfast arrived.

Yum!

We spent the entire next day down by the pool. The resort had pool-side waiters, so we ordered some smoothies to enjoy while we relaxed.

When we went to pay the bill, I eagerly agreed to take care of it, and for the first time EVER, I signed my NEW last name! 

At the end of the day, it was time to head back to reality... but it was a pretty cool reality to be facing.

We leave for our honeymoon on June 10th, but that a whole different blog...
