Plannin' the honeymoon....
Hello there readers...sorry we've been MIA and not posting lately--we had so much going on (and it's still 2 months before the wedding!)
We've had two amazing wedding showers, with lots of friends, family, and generosity! We are in the home stretch now with just a little over two months to go! Can't wait! Our checklist has only about 50 things left (started with around 600) and now we're on to one of the most fun parts--our honeymoon!
We started to map out our tentative route for the drive out to the ranch in Montana and from the ranch back to our lovely home in Virginia...
The towns we plan on staying in/visiting on the way out are: Port Clinton OH (Put-in-Bay Island), LaCrosse WI, Sturgis SD(Biker rally and Mt. Rushmore), Gardiner MT (Yellowstone National Park)
After the 5 day stay at our luxury ranch honeymoon location, we will be going to: Salt Lake City UT, Rifle CO (Coulter Lake Guest Ranch where Bre vacationed as a kid with her dad), Amarillo TX, Fort Smith AR, Memphis TN, and Nashville! We plan on stopping along the way of course to see plenty of touristy things and also to eat at some of the places Matt has found in Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives!!
We can't wait! We decided to really "do it up" and stay in fancy shmancy hotels on our first night of the honeymoon in Port Clinton, Ohio and our last night, in Nashville, Tennessee...We can't wait!
Also, at the ranch in Colorado where I (Bre) used to go, the new owners mentioned my name to the old owners and they told them all sorts of stories of my Dad and I and the girls I used to go with! They emailed me today and said they were kicking in a complimentary and special honeymoon twilight horseback ride and dinner on the mesa. I can't believe their generosity and how special it will be to share Coulter Lake with Matt!!
Here is a little glimpse into our first night of the honeymoon trip to Port Clinton, Ohio and Put-in-Bay --- we'll be arriving at our hotel suite and then walk across the street to the ferry to take us across part of Lake Erie to Put In Bay (Dubbed the KEY WEST of the north) to dine on the waterfront!
Our hotel: Island House Resort - Port Clinton Ohio
Put-In-Bay Ohio in the middle of Lake Erie
