Honeymooners

We found a spot!  The Wilderness Inn, in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.  It's got great reviews, a killer breakfast (none of this muffin-and-a-banana nonsense some bed and breakfasts try to pull), a super cute honeymoon cottage with a whirlpool bath and a deck overlooking the river, and it's totally affordable!  We will fly into Manchester, which is crazy cheap on Southwest, and you can even check a bag.  So the whole thing will be less than we budgeted!  Hallelujah! 

(We'd originally talked about going to London or the Caymans--former pastors of our church now pastor churches there--but that's more expensive (in airfare and lodging) and we don't have current passports, so that would be another $300 . . . plus folks we know said they wished they hadn't picked honeymoons far away with crazy travel because they were just so exhausted after the wedding.  And rumor has it that it is inadvisable to go to touristy places, because you may or may not be inclined to go out and see stuff.  You may just want to relax.  So people recommended somewhere a) close, b) cheap, and c) with stuff to do if you want, but nothing you'll feel bad about not doing.  Hence: New England.  Close enough to travel to the night of the wedding, cheaper than many places (it's still sort of chilly in May, so the rates are lower), and plenty to see and do . . . if we feel like it.)

Anyway, the reservation is made, the HTB is buying tickets and reserving a car (the bed and breakfast is like an hour and a half from the airport), and we are good to go.  YAY!  Praise the Lord!
