Memories






Soon it will be our 6 month anniversary and over the last six months, we often reflect on our honeymoon. As we have not written on the honeymoon, we would like to give a brief recap while it is cold and snowy outside. Due to our wedding being up north, we waited an extra day to leave Minnesota. After Matt Kesanen (my best man) woke up extremely early to drive us to the airport, we flew into Boston. We rented a car and drove to York, in southern Maine. We stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast, and really enjoyed the town. While there, we ate lobster, which I loved, but Alli despised. Our next adventure was Acadia National Park. We stayed in Bar Harbor for 3 nights. During our stay, we hiked, kayaked, went whale watching, enjoyed the scenery, and due to being on a honeymoon, tried to relax. Once again we stayed at a lovely B&B. We then drove down the coast to our final Maine destination. This is a funny story, I thought we were staying in Belfast, so when we got to the town, Alli entered the name of the Inn we were searching for, and it came up as being 100 miles away, which I thought was incorrect, until we realized I had the wrong town. So we ended up driving to Brunswick. It was storming, so we had a true veg-out night, we ordered pizzas, watched movies, and caught up on some sleep. The final night we stayed in Boston. It was pretty, except the weather was 96 degrees and humid. We stayed in a wonderful hotel directly across the Charles River from downtown Boston. The following day we left and returned to Minneapolis, already planning our next visit to Maine. The honeymoon was an amazing experience for us to really adapt to married life, as well as do something we both love, traveling.

This reminded me of my own honeymoon for several reasons. We also woke up early up north to drive to Mpls., and Brian's best man also woke up early to drive us. As you know we also flew to Boston and spent time in Boston and Maine (Vermont and Mass.) Thanks for sharing the memories! Glad you guys had a wonderful honeymoon to sustain you through the cold MN winter. Love the picture on the way to whale watching.
