Bart surprised me for our honeymoon. He kept the secret from me the whole time and he did an awesome job at planning it! We went to San Diego for two days and then made our way over to Catalina Island for two days. I was very impressed with everything he planned! He's great! We got to San Diego on Friday night. We stayed at the Marriott Hotel right on the harbor. It was awesome!
Bart knows I love the San Diego Temple and he had planned to take me up there! That night he got really sick. Bart is always hot and he hates that I am always cold! That night he was shivering and couldn't get warm! I felt so bad for him! He was still a trooper and took me up there anyway! It was so beautiful! I loved being there with him and walking the grounds, but the whole time I felt so bad because he was so sick!
On Saturday we went to Sea World! It was so much fun to see all the animals and Bart LOVED the seals! I felt like I was with a little kid the whole time and kept saying, 'ok lets go see the other animals now' no good though, he wanted to watch the seals! He's so funny!
Sunday we drove from San Diego to Long Beach to catch the Catalina Express over to Catalina Island. It was about a two hour drive! We got to Long Beach with about an hour to spare before our boat left and started making our way to the dock. All of a sudden the streets were blocked off!! There was a marathon going on and no one told us! We called the place to see if they could direct us around the marathon 3 different times! No good! They still didn't help! We finally got there an hour and 15 minutes later, but we missed the boat! At this point I HATED Marathons! I was trying to be happy and act like it wasn't a big deal that we had to wait 2 more hours before catching the next boat. When we finally got to the island and to our hotel to check in, Bart told me he had called a couple days ago and got our room upgraded to the King Spa Room! We're checking in and the kid says that there are -1 for the King Spa Rooms and he was going to have to make a phone call! Could anything else go wrong? He gets on the phone with his boss and starts saying, "Oh, I see, ok I can do that." He gets off and says, unfortunately the King Spa Rooms have all been booked, but we are going to upgrade you to the presidential suite for no extra charge. SWEET! We get up there and this place is bigger than our apartment in some ways! (Check out the pics) Huge kitchen, dining table for 8 people, family room with a TV, separate room for our bedroom and huge bathroom with a 2 man tub and separate shower! I learned that sometimes its ok when things don't work out!! :) It was really windy on the island both days so we didn't get to go out on a boat tour, but we did take a golf cart out and went around the island which was alot of fun.
Tuesday morning we were heading back on the boat and we saw dolphins and seals in the water which was so cool! I loved it! And now we are home, back to normal life! It was a great honeymoon! We had an awesome time! Thanks Bart!
