the honeymoon

So a week after Patrick and I wed, we packed our bags and headed for Sun Valley for a few days.
It was not at all like the fairy tale honeymoon i had once envisioned... but are they ever that way? We spent our few days there shivering in the well below zero temperatures. Since Patrick has bad knees we weren't able to go skiing, and since shopping was not on Patrick's list of priorities... we were left with not much to do. Fortunately we bought a season of The Office. We spent every day in front of a cozy fireplace in our little condo...watching The Office. At night we would head down to the Lodge and swim in the heated pool. We enjoyed the beautiful snow and took pleasure in some overpriced food. One night we walked into a restaurant... the menu was not only WAY overpriced, but nothing even looked good. We ordered an appetizer and left. We then went around to about seven different restaurants and had the same experience. After driving around for an hour and a half we wore ourselves out and finally went home. All I wanted was a nice burger and fries... If Patrick and I ever get married again we are not going to Sun Valley. Although we could have laid at home in our house all day watching The Office, we did make some fun memories and will always remember the honeymoon from hell...
P.S... Patrick wanted me to let you all know it was about the worst honeymoon in history. Thanks Pat.

  1. That's what anniversaries are for. Unfortunately, things like weddings and honeymoons (that ideally would only happen once) would be so much easier after the first. Luckily, they were a means to an end and you have a lifetime and eternity to get everything right. ;-)
