Much like many of you these days I’m sure, I have on approximately 25 layers all the time and feel like I haven’t seen the sun in years (stupid [cute] groundhog and 6 more weeks of winter). As Miss Cheeseburger mentioned and Miss Pencils alluded to, we in the mid-Atlantic area recently got hit with “snowpocalypse” - which was fun for the first two snow-days, but the gray, salty, slushy days that have followed have felt a leeetle bit soul-crushing. So I decided, why think about this:

When I can think about this!:

Ahhhh… I can feel the sunburn already.

Mr. Guinea Pig and I are after the same thing most folks want on their honeymoon: relaxation, beaches, fun, and (a little bit of) sun!

So I’ve been consoling myself lately with warm happy thoughts of a relaxing week of marveling at being newlyweds in Amelia Island, Florida! We’ll be staying at the Fairbanks House Bed & Breakfast, and with an amazing 100% recommended ranking on Trip Advisor, I can’t wait to kick back and relax there with Mr. Guinea Pig.

As I sort of mentioned above, Mr. Guinea Pig and I burn in the sun like nobody’s business. So while we’re looking forward to spending some time by the pool and on the beach, I’m also excited about exploring the historic district, hopefully spotting some sea turtles, going kayaking, taking a day trip to St. Augustine, and riding horses on the beach (Mr. GP is not so excited about that one)! And then at the end of the day, we can sit on the porch while the sun sets:

Or relax in the jacuzzi tub:

I. can’t. wait. I’m glad we’re going somewhere that has a beach for us to relax on, but not JUST a beach, because I’m not sure I can handle 6 straight days in the sun. Amelia Island seemed like the perfect match. Plus, in May, the average high is 83. Sign me up!

What’s getting you through the winter months? Where are you going for your honeymoon? Anyone else looking forward to doing things other than sit on the beach?
