Year One

It's been One Year! We can't believe it - like Dad said "It'll be a flash in the pan". To celebrate, Jay and I decided to make an homage home to Fort Myers for a weekend of fun in the sun. We had a celebratory lunch on the water with all four of my Grandparents, Mom, Dad, and Marcus at The Three Fisherman - the new location in N Ft Myers where Pincher's Crab Shack used to be. Really - what a location! The restaurant is a Fort Myers staple, and while the old location off of 41 is still there - you really can't beat the new location right over the N bridge.

Later in the evening, we enjoyed the sights and sounds in downtown Fort Myers for Music Walk, and then had a great dinner at the new Morgan House.

The weekend was too short - so we'll be planning another trip to FM soon...

To commemorate - here is the engagement photo where it all began.

Ok - Confession: this is not the engagement photo - just a re-make because the REAL photo features me about 3 minutes after waking up on Thanksgiving morning 2008...Jay, on the other hand, was showered, shaved, and wearing a suit. So, I made him do a re-take at our "Toast the Newlyweds" party last May on Hilton Head.

The Mountain of Stone

Last Spring, Jay and I had a couples outing with Tiffany and Stew (the soon-to-be newlyweds!) to Stone Mountain. We hiked up the mountain and had a picnic and it was SUCH a pretty day, so in honor of the coming spring... here's my favorite pic from the day - at the top!

A little honey with my moon...

Jay and I spent a wonderful week following our wedding in Costa Rica - the first 4 days in Guanacaste, soaking up the sun, sand and surf. We went off-shore fishing in search of some Marlin (better luck next time), and following the coast, we had a ride through the Costa-Rican countryside, ending up in the rain forest in the Arenal Volcano region. We stayed at the amazing Tabacon resort - truly like the Garden of Eden. We had another few days of adventures - hikes to the volcano, dips in the hot springs, horse-back riding (it was kind of like that scene in Swiss Family Robinson where the family is having a field day race on different animals, only we were just on horses), and the BEST part of the whole trip - the zip line! It was like being in an episode of Life on the Discovery Channel. Awesome. On the flight back, we sat near a National Geographic photographer - giving us something else to set our sights on as we embark on life together... in my next career, I will be a National Geographic photographer.

Enjoy some pics from the honeymoon!
