our honeymoon (14/14)

Technically we had two honeymoons. Lucky us. We knew we couldn't do much after the wedding, since I am a teacher, and we got married on labor day weekend. So we went to France for 10 days the summer before, and called this our pre-moon.

A co-worker has a friend who lives in Paris, and needed to sublet her apartment in district 9.  This meant we had a place to stay that was inexpensive, and not in a touristy location.  Of course we ate out, but we also bought food at grocery stores and markets and had lovely little meals at home.

We went to tons of museums (including the Louvre) and parks, saw the Eiffel tower, and traveled all over the map. We caught a Bob Dylan concert in Nantes, went to Monet's Garden in the country, visited Stein, Wilde and Mr. Mojo Risin' at Père Lachaise, walked the colorful grounds at the Palace of Versailles, and ate a ridiculous amount of delicious food every step of the way.

After the wedding itself we went for two nights to Minnewaska State Park Lodge.  This is the area where we met and was the perfect place to relax before we left our wedding fairytale. We spent our mornings relaxing outside the lodge with our breakfast, our days at the park, and the nights reminiscing about the wedding! It was just what we needed.

Thank you for taking this journey with us through our wedding memories. It was certainly fun for us to reminisce together...and I am so happy to have our special moments documented!  This started out as a rewind for a few posts and turned into 14 posts and a summer long project.  Literally, work starts on Monday...and as we approach our 2nd wedding anniversary, and 10 years together, I can honestly say we are more in love then ever!  Life is good.
