Newlyweds

Ahhhh, the sweet married life! I can't say that it is REALLY different, but changing your name is a bit of a pain. Corey and I sent out the thank you cards this week, he was so great, didn't complain once about doing his part! We will be going through the remaining gifts this weekend and deciding what to use right away and what to save for a bigger place. We just don't have enough room in our current house to keep everything out unfortunately!

The honeymoon was fantastic! Nice is beautiful and so historic! There are extreme Russian influences, in architecture, restaurants, bars, etc. The French Riviera is the prime vacation spot for other Europeans, so it was a very international trip. We visited Cannes, St. Paul, Monaco (which is a lot like San Fran because it is full of hills!). We couldn't have asked for a better trip.


It was very interesting that the main boardwalk, the Promenade des Anglais, was developed in the 1800's, the name given in tribute of the English. The harsh winter made for several homeless individuals, in which the English proposed they build the walkway down the coast, which would be financed by the English.










This is our view form the top of our hotel of the Nice coast.












Corey and I at St. Paul, testing our photography skills. . .ha ha not very good!







This is Antibes, in the ramparts, one of the most historic areas in France.
