Honeymoon pictures



We enjoyed our Honeymoon in lovely San Diego from December 29, 2007 to January 3, 2008. The hotel we stayed at had some random piles of rocks that caught our attention and became subject to our chiding. A favorite activity was to contemplate "what are the meaning of rocks?" as depicted in the picture. To this day, we have not come to any certain conclusions. The hotel, also had a lovely view of the bay which would make anyone want to jump for joy. This view made our stay even more tranquil and enjoyable.


An interesting discovery was also made during our Honeymoon episodes. It has become really clear that if I ever start a band that I would play the dried palm leaf. Of course the band would have to be called Hot Coals Only. And naturally I would have to pose like a holister model
We enjoyed a walk together on the first full day in San Diego. Since we didn't have any photographer with us (I forgot to pack one), there are very few pictures with both of us in them. So even though it may appear that our struggles on this walk were different, we were fully united in sitting on the bench, pondering tic-tac-toe and climbing trees.
Our travels took us to Sea World too. We loved "encountering" penguins and sharks. We learned all about the Shamu slam and endured the faith permoting show entitled "Believe." We felt a stir with in us to bond with the creatures of the sea. This led us to pose like flamingos and Emily even kissed a manatee.





Foreging for food was a rather difficult task. Room service was pricey (although rather fun the first time) and other food possiblities were hard to obtain. So, we took a cab to a grocery store and secured some rations. They were delicious. We had some New Years Eve snacks like Crunch and Munch or chips and dip. It was a great move.



This picture is designed to depict Emily's cowboy side. We went to Old Town and meandered our way through some shops. It was great fun.



This section is to illustrate the many faces of Michael Dixon. Michael "crusher" Dixon, Michael "cloud head" Dixon, and Michael "groove thang" Dixon. Sometimes you just need to look at a picture side ways.

We also went to the San Diego zoo and saw many... interesting animals. Emily invented "zoo bingo" and we had a blast with it. We both made bingo cards by drawing pictures of animals in a different box in a grid. We both got bingos at the exact same moment.

You two are really, really good looking. Please bless MY husband lets us take glamour shots on the beach.. and by piles of rocks. And for goodness sake, that jumping picture is INCREDIBLE!

In case anyone wondered, that hideoderous animal behind me is called a Tapir. The zoo was crawling with them.

Ew.
