So I know it’s been a few weeks since you last heard from me… since getting married and returning from our honeymoon, Mr. Turtle and I have been trying to enjoy the relaxing couple of weeks we have before making our cross-country move. Since we are kind of homeless right now, we’ve been bouncing back and forth between our parents’ houses, packing up all of our possessions and visiting our favorite California places and people before we make this big change. Being married feels totally surreal still, and I think it’ll keep feeling that way until we are moved into our new place with all of our own stuff, playing house!

Our wedding stands out in my mind as such a beautiful memory, as close as a day can come to being the perfect day! I am so looking forward to sharing our recaps with you and telling you all about it once we get all of the professional pictures back. But since that might be a while, and I know that Mr. Turtle and I are about to be caught up in about a month of craziness before we are settled into our new life, I’m going to take this week to share some details and photos of our amazing European honeymoon! (I had to come up with something! I don’t want you guys forgetting me, as I slip into becoming an old Bee!)

I’ll skip all the boring traveling parts.

We landed in London at about 1 PM after being on a plane for eleven hours. I remember feeling totally exhausted. However, since we’d come so far, we didn’t want to waste any time! We dropped our stuff off at the hotel and started wandering. Our hotel was located right by the Marble Arch, so first our walk took us through Hyde Park…

Looooved those English gardens!!

We walked around the park to Knightsbridge and made our first visit to Harrods. Since both of us had heard that the giant store is more like a giant tourist trap, we ended up being pleasantly surprised! We were in awe of the selection that Harrods had to offer, especially their selection of food! Craaazy!

I was super excited to run into a Laduree before we’d even made it to Paris! After eating an early dinner at Cafe Harrods, we sat down and had some delicious desserts at Laduree! Unfortunately, they don’t allow photos inside, but we were seated in the room in the center below photo.

After that, we walked back to our hotel and went to bed early, hoping to be well rested for the rest of our time in London!

Where are you going for your honeymoon? Did you choose a relaxing, tropical location? Or are you planning a busy, big city getaway like we chose?
