Honeymoon

Someone told me I needed to write about my honeymoon or I would forget it; however, with all the pictures we took, I don't see how I could but thought I would share what we did...It was a lot, but I still wish it was longer! We caravan back with Jason's aunt and uncle and cousins.  Wow! What an interesting ride to Maryland! Jason and his cousin, Zach decided to do impressions of some dude the whole way there and cracked themselves up! I didn't see what was so funny about the impressions, but listening to laughing made me laugh.  We arrived really late Sunday night and pretty much unpacked and went to bed.  Monday, we slept in and then went to lunch at Uno's and walked around and took pictures.  After that we went to Swallow Falls and hiked on the trails and saw beautiful waterfalls! Then we went to Lakeside Creamery for some of the best ice cream!  When we got back to the house, we relaxed in the hot tub and out on the deck. Tuesday and Wednesday, we spent the day touring Washington D.C.  We bought the double decker bus tickets for the two days we were there and got to take the Twilight Tour Tuesday night which was amazing getting to see D.C. at night and all lit up.  Wednesday we got back to the house really late because we met Gary for dinner on our way home and he showed us some of our wedding pictures.  Thursday, we made plans for the next two days.  We went out to Englanders  (Dottie's) for breakfast and tried buckwheat cakes.  Then we went and saw a man made whitewater river rafting course that the Olympic team practices at.  We then went zip-lining! That was exciting and scary at the same time! We then went to the beach at Deep Creek Lake and the water was so cold!!!  That evening, we went to Santa Fe Grille.  The food was great and from the deck where we ate at, we could see the zip lining course up on the mountain which was pretty cool.  We then enjoyed more Lakeside Creamery and sat on the porch and watched the storm come in! It was pretty neat and crazy at the same time.  The next morning, we woke up and had plans  to get in the hot tub; however, silly Jason, turned the knob all the way down the first time we were in it and the water was freezing! So we went out for breakfast instead.  We ate at Canoe on the Run.  We shared an omelet and each got a dessert.  The cookie I had was huge!  We went shopping at a tourists store to kill time and then went on the ski lifts to see the view over the mountain and rode a mountain coaster!  Back at the house, we wrote in the book and told the Wall's thank you.  Then headed out.  We stopped a place called Katie's Ice Cream on the way out of town.  It was like a fall festival booth on the side of the road.  Other than trying to put my straw in my float and the float shot up thru the straw, it was really good! The ride home was nice, but I was sad to go and for the honeymoon to be over with.  I felt like it wasn't long enough, and we didn't have enough us time; however, we did get a week over the summer just to ourselves even though we both worked, we didn't have Eli because he was on vacation with his mom.  Therefore, we had our evenings just us which was so nice! We lied around and watched movies like every night and just enjoyed our time together.  It was great!
