Hola amigos y familia,

We had an amazing time on our honeymoon! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the memories we made in Spain that we'll cherish forever! Even though we are back to our normal lives of desk jobs and no siestas, the registry will remain open for those who didn't have a chance to give a gift before we left. While we won't be able to use the gift directly on our honeymoon, we will definitely be able to use it to pay off our honeymoon credit card bill :)

We've included some photos from our trip at the bottom of this page. Enjoy!

Love,

Sam and Adam

We're going to Spain!

Our honeymoon was 2 1/2 weeks of fun. We flew into Granada and spent three wonderful days getting used to Spain and seeing the incomparable Alhambra. Then we caught the train to Seville where we spent four days wandering the maze-like streets of Spain's most fun-loving city.

Next we rented a car and drove to Ronda, a gorgeous little city with a one of a kind bridge. Then, on to Marbella to the Costa del Sol for sun and sand in Spain's answer to the Riviera. Finally, we caught a flight north to Barcelona where we spent four days reliving old memories and making new ones as we helped the Spaniards celebrate their first Euro Cup championship in 44 years.

It was an amazing trip and we included a few pictures down at the bottom of the page. Thanks so much to everyone for the wonderful gifts!
