Non-Traditional European Honeymoon

Super excited to have a guest writer on the blog today to share her honeymoon itinerary! My adventurous sister Allie is sharing her non-traditional honeymoon with you all! This really sounded like a trip of a lifetime! I’ll let her get started.

Hello! My name is Allie, and I am Brooke’s middle little sister. I am also the sister who helped get the girl and the kiwi together! Shortly after those two got together, Derek came into my life, and he was the best man at Brooke and James’ wedding. Derek and I were married on June 2, 2018, and as close as we are to Brooke and James, we chose not to bring them on our honeymoon. But I still wanted to share our amazing European honeymoon adventure with you!

Four Days in Colorado’s Mountains

James and I spent a week in Colorado this spring! After spending three days in Denver with family (go check out that post here!), we set off to the mountains for four days of exploring Colorado JUST THE TWO OF US! You guys, this was the first trip we had taken just the two of us since our honeymoon. THAT WAS OVER THREE YEARS AGO. So, needless to say, four days in the mountains were just what we needed. Here’s what we got up to in four days in Colorado in May.

3 Day Denver Itinerary: Hiking, Dining, and Shopping

I decided to split this post in two – because the first 3 days in Denver were very different than the last 4 days we spent in Silverthorne. So this post is all about Denver. Denver is a beautiful city, that really seems to pop up out of the middle of  nowhere. Here’s all the shopping, dining and hiking we got up to in the mile high city.

Cruise Alaska’s Inner Passage

Alaska is the first place that I can remember thinking “I want to go there”. When I was young, my parents traveled to Alaska and told us wonderful stories about bears, whales, and eagles. When my cousins visited Alaska, they brought back enough halibut for the whole family to enjoy at the reunion.

I knew we would get there one day. I just didn’t know when. It’s a pricier cruise than the Caribbean, and James and I had just moved to Michigan from New Zealand. We had bought a house, a dog…. the Alaska dream was set aside. But then my grandmother decided to take the whole family on an Alaskan cruise! And let me tell you, after dreaming about it my whole life, it did not disappoint.
