Party Time....Laura and 80's dancing!

We went out on Friday (the 21st) for Laura's going away party. First, Cassi and Laura came over to our house and then we went to Vault and then to Lola's Room for an 80's dance party. It was a great time. Here are a few pictures from our night out.

Eric came out of dancing retirement...here he is busting a move on the dance floor. Popped collar and sequin hat.

Well as you can tell we had a great time. If you are ever in Portland on a Friday night and you are looking for a fun filled night of dancing...Lola's Room is the place.
Love, Ashlie and Eric.


Honeymoon time!

Hello All,
I know it's been a while since we blogged...but the good news is that we have some great new pictures and stories from our Honeymoon. We went to Cancun, Mexico for 10 days. It was absolutely fabulous. We did an activity every other day with relaxing in between. It averaged a balmy 85 degrees, a couple of tropical storms came through but all in all the weather was great. :) Here are some pictures of our vacation. Enjoy! (Sorry these are not in order, but you'll get the point.) :)
Eric on the plane on the way to Mexico!

This is us snorkeling in Cozumel. We went on a 5 hour private snorkel tour. We saw turtles, a huge eagle sting ray, barracuda, dolphins and of course some fish.

Playa Del Carmen. Classic Mexico, soccer on the beach.

Eric snorkeling in a Cenote. A cenote is created from the underground river system. It is the cleanest clearest fresh water.

Jungle Buggy: this is how we got to the cenote, a 15 minute drive through the jungle on this thing. :)

Spider monkey!

Eric in the cenote.

Ashlie holding a snake. Can you tell that I am not enjoying myself.

Eric holding a snake...enjoying himself. :)

We took the bus from Cancun to Play Del Carmen and it broke down, so here we are on the side of the road waiting for a new one.

Eric and I in Tulum. Some ruins on the sea.

Us again in Tulum.

Ashlie palm head.

Apparently even the Mayans in Chitzen Itza are USC fans.

Ashlie reading. I read 4 books while we were there. I know, total dork. :)

Ashlie relaxing at the pirate bar.

Eric holding a shark. We were at Isla Mujeres.

Eric at Chitzen Itza....just kidding, this is him in front of a sign we found.

But here is the real thing....Eric at the pyramids.

Eric and Ashlie at one of the new 7 Wonders of the World.

On the way to Isla Mujeres. We took the UltraMar over.

Waiting for our boat.

Isla Mujeres is a small island, so you can take a golf cart and see the entire island. Here is Eric driving.

There is a turtle sanctuary on the Island, so here is a turtle.

Eric and Ashlie caught in a rain storm.

One of the hotel pools at night.

Our hotel.

The view from our hotel room. There were several pools, this one had the swim up bar. :)

Eric at 7am. A beer, his sunglasses, and a hat. Just chilling.

Well there you go. The quick version of our honeymoon. In all we went to Isla Mujeres, Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, Tulum, Chitzen Itza, snorkeling in the Cenotes, and of course Cancun. It was fantastic.
Love, Ashlie and Eric.
