Cleveland Trip

Two weeks ago we went to Cleveland to visit Brandon’s family and celebrate his grandfather’s 80th birthday.

Gratuitous Puppy

Brandon and I recently took a trip to his hometown. It was his grandfather’s 80th birthday, and most of the extended family was there. We had a great time. I’m waiting for Brandon to edit his photos from the trip, then I’ll do a proper post. Until then, I leave you with two unbearably cute pictures of my poms as puppies, too tired to function.

 

Honeymoon Highlights

It took Brandon and I about a year to pick a honeymoon. There were so many elements we wanted out of our trip, it was overwhelming to pick just one option. We wanted lots of great food, things to do, time to relax, deluxe accomodations, and variety. As a result, our honeymoon was a combination of lots of things. We stayed in Disney for a few days (in the most beautiful hotel room I’ve ever seen), went on a cruise, and came back to Disney for a few more days.  Here are some snippets of our trip.

We went to Victoria & Albert’s, Disney’s AAA Five Diamond restaurant. It was the most exquisite meal we’ve ever had, by miles. We had 8 courses in total

After dinner, our honor attendants, Brandon’s dad, and Brandon gave toasts.

Brandon’s was quite funny and kept us all entertained

After our portraits, we hopped in our coach and headed over to the Grand Floridian for our reception. It was such a beautiful, romantic ride.

And then we got some pictures with the horsies (I am not ok with using a working animal if I don’t know how they are kept; however, while working at Disneyland, I had the opportunity to tour the Circle D Corral. Both Disneyland and Disney World have functioning ranches, and the cast members there work exclusively with the animals.)
