TGIF: Our Honeymoon Plans!


I can't wait for the day when I call myself "Mrs Weir". It seems unreal to think about. It's like changing the identity that you've known your whole life. In some way, it's almost like having a second chance to be someone else. I think that sounds like a wonderful adventure waiting to happen. But I have to admit...i'm almost just as excited about the trip that follows. Our honeymoon in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

 We'll be there for 5 days and 4 nights, but do consider that we are driving, not flying, to Wyoming. We chose this for a number of reasons.

 1. We are not 25 years of age, and that means we can't rent a car. We want to be able to drive around Jackson to see the Tetons and the wonderful mountain life that comes with it!
2. I am highly scared of flying. My first ride on an airplane was in 6th grade, and I sobbed. It is the one way I don't want to die. Luckily, i'm not crazy, and my father-in-law agrees with me.
3. Stuffing the car with junk food, cranking up the stereo and making detours just sounds fun doesn't it?

 While we've narrowed down the general areas to visit, I would love any recommendations you can offer us! Especially towns to stop in along the way.

 We followed the weather last month around the day we plan on arriving in Jackson Hole next year and it actually snowed there! In October! The low was 14F! But I guess that's mountain life. I don't think us Jacksonians know what that is like. We are hoping for snow next year! We've already bought a few clothing items since now is the time to buy them. We still need gloves, scarves, hats and sweaters!

 What is your type of dream land? Swamps? The beach? The desert? We love mountains. We would move in a heart beat if we could! The day I met Tyler, he's always told me about his trip to Jackson Hole he took with his family when he was young - the winding mountain roads, the view of the Tetons. Ever since, it has made me want to visit. I'm glad I will finally be able to say I've seen Jackson Hole!

 We thought about going somewhere exotic, but Tyler and I decided to stay in the states. We are snowbirds at heart, so give us a hot tub, freezing temperatures and a hot cup of coffee and you could say we are set!

    Sounds like such a fun trip! You guys will have a blast! Colorado is really the best. Make sure you see some things on your way through! :) Ft Collins, CO has an ADORABLE downtown area. I've never been to Jackson Hole, WY, but judging by these pictures I should! :)

      Oh! One more thing. The Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs is also amazing! I'm not sure if it was harmed by the Waldo Canyon fire last year or not, but definitely worth checking out!

    Wyoming would be such a cool honeymoon destination! I've always lived on the east coast in nc so we have mountains and beaches, but I'd love to go to the midwest and see the plains, and the grand mountains and all the amazing wildlife and lifstyles that go along with them!

    I just stumbled over your blog and I absolutely love it! I love the layout and I keep reading your posts! Great job!
