Our honeymoon is definitely our most memorable experience from our first year of marriage. Of course, I don't mean to imply that it was all downhill from there. Although our first year had some ups & downs, it was mostly ups by far. It's just that it is hard for ordinary life to compete with two weeks of the best vacation imaginable. We just had such an amazing time & felt so completely and absolutely relaxed!

So, without further delay, here is our honeymoon...
We spent the first week at a lovely place called The Rose Hill Manor in Mt. Index, WA.
To this day, when we are stressed about something, we remind each other of the feeling of being there. It was absolutely amazing!
We sat in the hot tub with a lovely view of the mountains &
snow falling all around us ... it was magical.
-
We went for walks along the local trails ...
and enjoyed the glorious views!
-
We went skiing in Stevens Pass!
-
After a day on the slopes, we enjoyed sitting in the ski lodge sipping hot chocolate.
-
We stayed in the Honeymoon Cottage which was really charming and cozy.
-
Every morning a mouth-watering breakfast tray was left on our front step.
There were several breakfast options to choose from and they were all delicious,
but the thing we always talk about is the waffles!
I don't know what the hostess put in her waffles ...
(she said it was a secret family recipe)
they were heaven - light-fluffy-moist-buttery-amazing!
We have never found waffles that compare ...
they were just that good!
-
I wish I had more pictures of the cottage itself ...
it was really perfect.
Here are a few from their website of the garden:

The bedroom was lovely & had an amazing view of the mountains from the window!
After seven days there, we packed up and headed down the Oregon coast.
David kept telling me how beautiful it was,
but I really had no idea until I saw it for myself!
-
The Oregon Coast is absolutely breath-taking!
We also made friends with some sea gulls along the way ...
-
Well, the second week will have to be another post ...
this one is getting too long!
See Below: the Oregon Coast, the Lighthouse, & San Fransisco!
