We had an AMAZING time on our honeymoon in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! We stayed at the Majestic Colonial Resort. We did a lot while we were there. It seemed like we never really slowed down. I think we took about 500 pics so they definitely aren't all going on here.
When we first landed and got in our van to head to the resort it seemed a little "iffy." There were people with sawed off shotguns on the side of the road, etc., but it was absolutely beautiful once we were there. It is sad all the poverty you see outside the resorts though.
The wait staff was kinda overwhelming too. You would barely be putting an empty drink down and they were already taking it and replacing it.
We got pics taken by the resort photographer, "Martin,"while we there. He was from Argentina and he was hilarious! We wish we would have had a video of him while he was taking our pics. The top photo is what he called our "Adam & Eve jungle" photo. He meowed and purred like a panther and got us to "take sexy photos." He was definitely entertaining! Our so called "sexy" photos, I didn't post, but they're in the photo album.

It was fun, and I'm glad we got them taken.
When we first got to the resort on Sunday, we went to our room, did a quick tour of the resort, ate dinner and went to bed. We were exhausted!
Monday we planned our excursions for the week and mostly just spent time at the beach. Every night, we would get ready and go eat dinner. We had seven or eight places to choose from and they were all good. After dinner, we sometimes walked around and looked at vendors and explored but we always called it a night pretty early.
Tuesday we did an excursion where we sailed to another island for lunch, got to swim with starfish and then took a speedboat back. The lunch on the island was cooked fresh. Needless to say, I didn't eat very much. You could here the rooster and pigs when we got there, but definitely not when it was time to eat! On the way back, it was storming when we were on the speedboat which definitely made for an experience. We were flying in the air. I was holding on to Colt's leg for dear life and there were people on the boat crying and scared.

Wednesday we went horseback riding, four wheeling and swam in a cave. That night we also had reservations for the Japanese Hibachi restaurant which was fun. Colt ate way too much though and was miserable the rest of the night.
Colt's poor little horse. He tried getting one of the biggest ones they had!
On Thursday we went on our last excursion to go snorkeling and swimming with the stingrays and sharks. We got to feed and pet the stingrays. Then they even went along our backs and gave us massages!A shark fin also went through Colt's toes while we were swimming with the sharks.
Colt in his snorkel gear. Isn't he cute?
Us and the stingrays! Colt was all for it, but I was a little unsure at first. 
Friday morning we had a little time to go to the beach again before it was time to leave.

It was a once in a lifetime trip and a terrific honeymoon! We definitely weren't ready to come back home. Great ending to our wedding events!
