The Wedding Moon Tour. Jersey-Miami-AMI-Orlando Day 2. 1st Day On AMI


I think we all had a little lie-in this morning.
I made it until about 7 and the others were between 8 and 9 ish so not too bad really.
The kids went straight into the pool after breakfast and we headed for the beach once we'd cleared around.
We all love this house! It's on Maple Avenue so relatively near the quieter, top end of the island. I'm not massively keen on the bottom end. It seems too busy for me. It has absolutely everything you could think of. It's so well equipped and pretty new too.
Here's a little tour for you excluding DS's room (he moved downstairs when 8 became 3) as it's a mess!
It's actually really difficult to fit it all in on my phone. It also looks dark due to the light streaming in but it's not.
This is our room


We have a huge bathroom with a massive wardrobe to hide the mess away


We have an external door which leads you onto the balcony that takes you down to the pool area.

This is the room
Our friends had. They have a slightly smaller en-suite but it's bright orange and I can't seem to get a photo in this light!


They have a nice balcony which is at the front of the house.

The boys had the Princess and the Pea beds on the top floor



And the youngest had these bunks next door


They had a shared bathroom up there and also a little balcony which was perfect for storm watching


The kitchen is huge and really well appointed



This shares the same balcony as our bedroom

And here's a rare Dibb photo of my boy enjoying his Virgin cocktail!

The pool isn't very big but none of them are really. It's cool through and has a hot tub (it's actually hot!) in the corner.

We have a pretty cool bar and outside kitchen too





The beach is about 50 steps from the house down a little pathway. It's usually deserted!



(I've just left my lounger by the pool to take those for you so this isn't the choppy day )

It was really choppy today which the 2 youngest found a little unnerving. We've only ever seen it completely flat here so it was a bit of a surprise.
I have a few shots on my proper camera which I'll add later too.
*back in a bit to update!

We hung around there for a while and played Snappit then we wandered over to Poppo's Taqueria for lunch.
I absolutely love this place.
Everything is fresh and organic I believe. It's really good value too

I don't think I've got a photo of what we all had but here is mine.
I had a loaded quesadilla which was just delicious with a Mandarin Jarritos. Yum!





Once we'd devoured that lot, OH, DS and I headed over to Tampa airport to collect my friend who had offered to take our wedding pics. She's amazing!
This was relatively painless and we loved seeing all the Pelicans as we passed over the skyway.

Once back she and I headed to the beach to watch the sunset what the others sorted the BBQ.
I didn't have my phone for the sunset sadly but we have others later in the holiday.
The light was incredible. We were illuminated with a peach glow. So, so beautiful
After the BBQ came drinks...

Before settling down and becoming proper adults, our friend was a bar manager in some cool London bars so we bought him some silly gifts for the holiday (beer towel and mats)

He's not bad at mixing a drink still
I think we all gave in shortly after.
We seemed to be so relaxed we just couldn't stay up!
