Honeymoon Part 3: Chicago

Fun with curious George fruit snacks in the car.

We ate at the cheesecake factory and David love the ceiling because it looked like cheesecake.

View from the women's bathroom o the 96th floor of the Hancock building. you wouldn't think that the best view would be from the bathroom but it was. (if you go don't go to the observatory go to the restaurant and get appetizers or dessert. it's cheaper than the observation deck.) when we went up they were actually in between lunch and dinner and no one seated us so we just enjoyed the view.

Swiss chocolate! Yum!

Water fountain that had faces. Kind of random, kind of cool.

The reflecting pond was even with the ground so you could walk right across it or stand on water. David thought it was really cool.

Crazy Chinese art.

Cook architecture.

The inside of the bean in Millennium park. There's this really shiny bean shaped sculpture and it reflects the city and you can find yourself in it. It sounds kind of weird but it was actually really cool.

Our reflection in the bean.

Full size view of the bean.

Chicago deep dish pizza a la "Gino's East". It was so good. After 2 pieces we were both full. Don't order a medium if it's just 2 people. And yes, we did eat it with a knife and fork.

Chicago was the perfect relaxing end to all of our busy reception traveling. We went where we wanted, woke up when we wanted and went to bed when we wanted (me around 10 :) It was great.

Everything was great except for the airline. Delta/northwest = no good. Horrible customer service. One of our flights was canceled. They charged us for luggage even though they shouldn't have. (really i looked this one up online before we left and they shouldn't have charged us.) It was just a kind of ridiculous flying situation.

Honeymoon Part 2: Lake Michigan and Dutch Village

Ok Nothing to do with the honeymoon but it was my favorite billboard of the trip. Affordable Bankruptcy? Really? I kind of thought that wasn't possible. Oh well

David was talking to his mom because it was mother's day.

There were tons of ladybugs everywhere.

Sinking our feet in the sand.

Huge wooden shoes.

Right size wooden shoes.

There is a town in Michigan called Holland. We have a lot of dutch people in Michigan so they have this little dutch village amusement park and shops. We stopped by because David wanted to see the wooden shoes. It's a fun place to look through. Holland also has an annual tulip festival. We were there the day after it ended but the tulips were still beautiful.

Honeymoon Part 1: Moab

Our honeymoon was awesome. Right after the wedding we headed off on the first part of our honeymoon. (we decided to have a little honeymoon right after the wedding, then have receptions and then another couple fun days before we went back to life.) We spent a few days in Moab. We stayed at a bed and breakfast, went rafting and then hiked Arches. It was a great, relaxing couple of days. We got to see a lot more of Arches then we did last year and that was fun. We want to go down again and check out Canyonlands still. There's so much awesome stuff to do down there.

Wedding!!!

Well we got married. It was a great day. The weather was nice other than some wind and a stubbed toe :( The sealing was beautiful. We were so happy that our family and friends were able to make it out to be with us. Pretty much it was the best day! amazingly nothing really went wrong and it was nice to get the most stressful part over.

The honeymoon and receptions were good too and everything went smoothly there. There are many posts to come in the next week or so. Right now we're just happy to be back from the excitement. We're happy to not be traveling again for awhile. I'm so excited to get the apartment all together and uncluttered and just settle into real life. Yay for being married!!!
