I See London, I see France...

So we are back in Lubbock settling into married life. I can't believe we've been married three weeks already. Time flies when you are having so much fun. Well since I can't decide which wedding pics to post yet, I thought I would go ahead and post about my honeymoon. We definitely took a more unconventional approach to the "honeymoon". Most people decide to go to Mexico or Jamaica, but Brandon and I wanted to do something different and visit a place where we knew we probably would have never dreamed of going had we not had this wonderful opportunity. We had a great time, but met some challenges along the way. When you travel to a different country not knowing a soul and have to adapt to a completely different culture, language, currency, transportation, food, etc. it really makes you grateful for what you have and appreciate each other that much more. We were both fighting different health complications throughout the entire time we were gone, but still managed to do and see a lot. With that being said here are pics from our wonderful honeymoon starting with London.

Our Hotel Marriott Grosvenor House


Windsor Castle

Roman Baths

Stonehenge (It was freezing cold)



The London Eye


The British Museum


Buckingham Palace (We got a glimpse of the queen driving away)

We went and saw the fabulous play Oliver! our last night in London. It was one of the main highlights of the entire trip.


We're Heading to Paris


The Thinker at the Rodin Museum

The Famous Louvre Museum


Notre Dame Cathedral

The Arc de Triomphe


Moulin Rouge

We just missed Obama twice. He followed us to London and then to France

Overall I would say it was a successful trip and one that we will remember forever.
