…and yet already ready for another adventure – go figure.
So the big vacation was, needless to say, amazing … as you would kind of expect from any cross-country, multiple-week excursion of this magnitude! Sara and I were taken aback multiple times on the road about, frankly, how cool this trip was and the unbelievable amount of stuff that we were doing and all of the places that we were visiting. For example…
- The Georgia Aquarium
- The World of Coca-Cola
- visiting my hometown of Gaylord, MI
- crossed the border into Canada (via Michigan’s Upper Peninsula)
- Science North
- Harry Potter: The Exhibition
- Niagara Falls
- Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory
- visiting Sara’s hometown of Bloomingburg, NY
- boating down the Hudson River around Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty
- Hershey’s Chocolate World
- the memorials in Washington DC
- National Museum of American History
- Walt Disney World
And the scary part is, that’s probably not even the complete list! It was really crazy that we got to the end and the things we did in that first week seemed so long ago – the trip went by both slow and fast at the same time. I did my best to keep work to a minimum, even though I’m sure at times it didn’t seem like it, but I think ultimately we both had a really great time and we’ll be telling people about little facets of it for quite a while…
That said, for my efforts on the subject, I think I’m going to start putting up some posts about the trip every couple of days and we’ll just go til we reach the end! I need to go through photos to post some online, too – quite the daunting task when you consider that we took some 1,700 photos over the course of those three weeks! I’m thinking that the easiest way will be to go through them at the same time I’m writing the blog posts and then at the end, I’ll upload a big gallery of them all purdy and sorted to our website. No clue how long that will take, but we’re going to Disneyland! in October for our anniversary, so before then would probably be good!
Ahhh, back to the grindstone already…
