As you may remember, I am not a fan of packing. I detest it. I dread it. I put it off until the last possible second.
Way to put off packing # 1: Dog park!
After breakfast, Ryan, Sadie and I piled into the car and headed to the dog park to pay fetch and enjoy the crisp fall weather.
As always, Sadie was super popular among the other dogs. Ryan and I call her the dog park tease because she always gets the other dogs all riled up by rolling over and showing them her goodies, and then she runs away and only wants to play with her humans.
Sadie is also extremely jealous. She was not happy when I let another dog give me kisses. 🙂
Luckily she forgave my momentary indiscretion once I turned my attention back to the little princess.
We spent a little more than an hour at the dog park before heading home and officially booking the second half of our honeymoon.
Any guesses what we’re doing?
Here’s a clue: We will have inordinate amounts of food at our disposal at all times.
Ryan wanted the clue to be this: It can’t quite possibly not be something Captain Nemo might not do. He wanted to make you guys think… or leave you extremely confused. 😀
With the second half of our honeymoon planned, we headed out to run some errands and pick up lunch at Moe’s.
Post lunch, we headed home and got our packing on.
Though I was seriously dreading packing for more than a weeks worth of activities, I discovered a way to make the experience slightly less miserable.
After singing my way through half of Legally Blonde: The Musical, my bags were packed and I was in a good mood! Then it was time to load the car and head to my parents’ house in St. Pete for the night!
Can you spot our little stowaway? 😉
I’m actually blogging from the road and it’s making me feel a little car sick… I better get back to being a good passenger and keep Ryan company.
See ya in the morning for the start of our honeymoon! 😀

Lindsay says
I am sure that you are going to have an amazing time on your cruise. Do you think that you will go to St. Lucia on your anniversary as you had already paid for it or did they refund your money??
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
they did refund our money (thank goodness), but we’re still hoping to go for our one-year anniversary.
Emily says
Have a good time! Sadie’s so cute :)))
I love your yellow suitcase btw. I’ve been looking for one, but only found a plastic one so far…
