The Wedding & Honeymoon

First, Tara & I would like to give a preemptive thanks to all of our family and friends who will be helping us set up for the wedding ceremony and reception (which will be here). The plan is to start around noon, so if you are interested in helping, give me a call and let me know when you plan on showing up to help set up.

Now, onto the cool part, the honeymoon. Tara and I spent months throwing destination ideas at each other. We finally settled on a San Francisco/Northern California trip. For my part, I had never been to San Francisco and everything I had heard about the city sounds like fried gold. On top of that, we will also be visiting the town where Tara grew up, and I simply cannot put into words how much that experience will mean to me.

From August 13-16 we will be in San Francisco, where we will be staying at the SF Marriott Hotel close to Union Square. We are hoping to see all the cool sites, which will likely be easier given Mark's awesome suggestion of getting a "Not for Tourist" book. In particular, I am looking forward to Chinatown and Muir Woods. We are also hoping to drive down to Monterey and spend most of the day "playing" on the beach.

From San Fran, we will be driving north and staying in Chico until the 19th, which will serve as our de facto base of operations. We also plan on visiting towns like Corning, Redding, & Paradise while we are up there. We will be staying at the Hotel Diamond in downtown Chico.

On August 19th, we will be flying back to Denver and then staying in Boulder for a couple days at our favorite hotel The Boulder Outlook. We will then make our way back to Laramie late in the evening on the 21st. We look forward to resting for the remainder of the week and spending some nice, relaxing time together.

Blogger note: I do hope that a HONEYMOON is a good enough excuse for not posting for a couple weeks. If I have my way, I won't be anywhere near a computer. I have filled out and submitted the proper paper work (the BV-S9 form) and I hope HSBP keeps me on the redeemed list during my absence. ;)
