No, Josh and I are not on a honeymoon right now. As much as I would love that we’re moving to Omaha in two weeks. We’ve got a lot going on. That’s why we’ve decided to delay our honeymoon until this winter. I realized that I never shared our honeymoon plans with you guys so I figured why not do that today?
For a long time Josh and I weren’t sure we would be taking a honeymoon. We’re really trying to be smart with money. We couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars on a trip when we have so many other things to save up for, but at the same time a honeymoon is something that is very important to me. When I got an email through Westin Rewards program about a package at The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort in Cancun, Mexico I knew it was an offer we couldn’t pass up.
Josh and I will be staying here for five days, four nights in a one-bedroom ocean facing villa. We are so excited for some rest and relaxation in Mexico! We’ve heard amazing things about this hotel.
The lobby.
I want to run through these fountains.
I love infinity pools.
An example of the dining room and living room in the villa.
The bathroom.
There are Mayan ruins on the resort grounds.
We’re right across the street from a huge shopping mall.
I can’t wait to go snorkeling.
And just lay out by the ocean with my new husband.
It should be a wonderful honeymoon! I’ll make sure to post recaps of it once we take it.
Question of the Day: Where was your honeymoon? Where would you like your honeymoon to be in the future?

Looks GORGEOUS! I think you’re smart to wait! It will be a nice break in the winter. My husband and I went to Barbados – awesome memories!

Erin says
You would make the honeymoon so much fun!!
AmyC says
That place is gorgeous! How can you stand to wait?? 😉
Erin says
I know! haha But it will be so nice to be warm and in the sunshine when it’s freezing outside at home.
Maureen says
HOW FUN!!! We went to Southern California & Disneyland for our Honeymoon & loved it! Our 10-year is coming up and we are trying to figure out a 2nd Honeymoon for that! 🙂
Erin says
I love that you went to Disneyland for your honeymoon! I want to go there for an anniversary. I hope you have a wonderful 2nd honeymoon!
Christine@ appleofmyeye says
Ahh so JEALOUS! That looks like the perfect place for a honeymoon!
Erin says
I’m so excited for our honeymoon!
Becki @ Fighting for Wellness says
GORGEOUS!!! I’m so jealous! Someday when Joe and I get married I think we’ll probably wait a bit to go on a honeymoon too, it is just too much to pay for a wedding and honeymoon all at once. So smart!
Erin says
Aw thanks Becki! We actually already paid for it, although it would have been nice to get to wait on that. haha We’re just waiting to take it.
Debbie @ Live from La Quinta says
Just Wow! It looks so beautiful there! I’ve never been to Cancun, just the western coast of Mexico. You will have a wonderful time.
On our honeymoon my husband and I went to Paris. It’s our favorite city in the whole world. We also went to Nice and Florence. It was wonderful.
Erin says
Oh wow, a honeymoon in Paris. That must have been so romantic! I’m so excited for our honeymoon. And Josh said he’ll wear the Mr and Mrs t-shirts on the plane. haha
Betsy says
Looks amazing!
Erin says
I’m so excited for it!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I bet that you are going to be SO happy that you waited to take your honeymoon in the Winter when it is super cold and snowy here!! 😉
Erin says
That is exactly what we’re thinking! haha
