Celebrating six years, Borneo style.

A couple of weeks ago Matt and I decided to take a little trip in celebration of our 6 year anniversary. After a lot of going back and forth over where we should go, we finally settled on Borneo at the recommendation of Chris and David. Borneo is home to Mt. Kinabalu, a popular tourist destination for those who are ambitious and want to climb the mountain. Matt is definitely one of those people, but he's saving his mountain climbing desires for another weekend because this particular weekend was ALL about relaxation and nothing more. I kid you not, we checked into our resort and didn't leave the grounds once until it was time to check out. Though there was some exploring to be done outside of the resort, we just weren't interested this time! What did interest us? The pool, the beach, food and sleep. We did absolutely nothing (wait I'm lying...we did manage to get in a kayak one day and drag ourselves over to the spa for massages the next...that was tough work!) on that trip which honestly made it one of the best trips ever! I truly can't think of a better way to have spent our 6th anniversary! :)

The balcony was AMAZING! We spent a lot of time reading and napping out here and even enjoyed watching a major thunderstorm pass by in the evening.

This definitely sums up the weekend!

One of our only moments of true activity :)

Really, does it get better than a delicious lunch on a beautiful beach with perfect weather?

Another gorgeous sunset over southeast Asia

Remember I said we picked Borneo based off a rec from Chris and David? Well, after we booked our trip and told them about it, we found out they were going to be there at the same time. Bonus! (Chris and David were far more ambitious than us and were actually there to climb the mountain).

So when we first arrived in Borneo, we went to the main lobby to check in. However, we were quickly swept away to a private lobby. I didn't realize I had booked us a stay in the luxury Ocean Wing (I thought I had just booked an ocean view room). In any case, we loved it so it didn't matter. When we checked out, the entire staff gathered around and sang us a private farewell song. It was really good, albeit kind of awkward because the song lasted for well over a minute and we weren't exactly sure who to make eye contact with :)
