Finally THE TOBOLKAS

Well - we are finally husband and wife :) So many great feelings...we are finally married, the wedding is behind us and we can start our lives together! After the wedding (photos to come!!) we honeymooned to Destin, Florida. We had an amazing time. One of our wedding gifts was a convertible for a week from Mac Haik. It was one of the best gifts we received! It really made our trip. We left Katy Saturday and arrived in Biloxi around 9:30. We were both so exhausted from the night before that we didn't even get dinner - just went right to bed. The hotel we stayed in had the NICEST room (South Beach Biloxi if your interested). Tyler and I love the beach so I got us a room right on it!




The next morning we made the drive to Destin with the top down - by the time we arrived we both had sunburns ;) We stayed at a Hilton Resort right on the beach and it was lovely! We had a giant corner room that was larger than our apartment!
(Please forgive the photo quality - if you know me you won't be surprised that I left my camera at home)





It was supposed to rain each morning we were there and it never did so we were very lucky. I did get to enjoy the Serenity Spa while we were there, I had a great facial and an awful hair cut. I had been growing my hair out since January and when you see me you will find it short again. Oh well :)

After Destin we began our way back to Katy, stopping for the night in New Orleans.  I had never been to Bourbon Street and I was excited! It was NOT what I expected. I was expecting something like 6th street -- you know, a ton of bars, a few homeless people with a little more jazz and beer on the streets. I could hardly stand the STENCH of the street! It smelled like vomit and the homeless. (I don't know if thats rude, but its totally true) I was also kind of scared! We were there around 4:30 and it was packed with people. Jazz fest was going on but Tyler said it was always full. We walked around, took some photos and Tyler had a few drinks. After dinner at Acme Oyster House we decided to call it a night!
Here is a weird guy walking around on the street, lol.



We stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel which was nice but way creepy. I didn't sleep a wink that night because I was convinced our room was haunted. I finally went to sleep around 5:30 am and of course my wonderful husband was awake around 6:30 ready to start his day. 

SO the next day was the French Quarter. It was so beautiful! I loved it. One thing I noticed about New Orleans is that one street is beautiful and the next is awful. Here are a few photos of our day there!



Now we are back to the real world! :) I just finished finals and we are in the middle of house hunting! Hopefully my next blog will be about our new house..

I know I say it every time, but I WILL blog MORE! :)
