Our Honeymoon

Brandon and I have been married for 6 months and 1 day today! 
And can you believe it? I am just getting around to posting pictures from our honeymoon?! 
I promise I'll get better!

Brandon planned our honeymoon and would not give me one tiny clue where we were going until the day we left!  I'm a pretty curious/sneaky girl... so I tried everything I could think of to try and find out where we were going.  He definitely thought this surprise through because I did not find out a thing!

I think we might hold the record for the longest honeymoon... so be prepared for a very long post! We to a lot of fun places!

For our honeymoon we went to...

NEW YORK!!
We started our trip with a fun 6 hour delay in the Chicago airport.  We really did have a great time relaxing and taking turns playing angry birds.  I think we ended up beating the whole game!


Brandon planned for us to spend the first 3 nights in the city.  He booked our room in a hotel that is right in the middle of time square.  It was awesome!  We had a corner suite that had windows around the room so we could see everything!  Our hotel was so nice they even sent us up chocolate covered strawberry's congratulating us on our wedding.


We had so much fun walking around and taking pictures!


While we were walking around we were stopped by someone who worked for the David Letterman Show and asked us if we wanted to go... of course we do! We were so excited! Russell Crowe, Quincey Jones, and Snoop Dogg were on the show.. it was really cool!

 We also went to the Broadway Show Elf... This was one of our favorite parts of the trip!  It was hilarious we loved it!  After the show we went to dinner at a restaurant called Juniors.  They had THE best cheesecake! 


The next couple days we...

Rode on one of those bike taxis through the city
Went bowling at Lucky Strikes Bowling Alley
Went to Madison Square Garden
and
Ate at Rays Pizza (The best pizza ever!)


The Empire State Building was amazing!  It was so cool being up so high and being able to see the entire city!


After 3 days in the city, Brandon planned for us to get a rental car and take a fun road trip.  I had no idea where we were going so it made it really exciting!  We drove about 7 hours to Niagara Falls..  It was so awesome there!  We had a lot of fun walking through all the cute parks and going to fun restaurants!




After Niagara Falls we headed back down towards New York City and stopped for a couple days in Palmyra.  I LOVED this part of our trip.  Palmyra is the cutest little town.  We met the nicest people and spent a lot of time stopping at each church history site.  We went to the Hill Cumorah, the Sacred Grove, The Book of Mormon Publishing Site, and the Temple.  All of these places were so amazing!  I will never forget it!



Our honeymoon was a blast! We got to see some of the coolest places together.  Most of all just being able to relax and spend time with each other made for an amazing vacation.
I am so grateful for my sweet husband, for planning such an amazing honeymoon for us!  He had everything planned out so perfectly so we could spend time together and not have to worry about a thing!
 
We have been super busy these last 6 months.. so I promise I'll catch you all up on everything!
