Honeymoon

After months and months of planning and preparing for our wedding we were exhausted! No one ever said planning a wedding was easy and doing it in 5 months is ever harder! We were so thankful then for our week-long trip to a wonderful little Inn in Vermont. Geoff's gracious grandparents Priests organized our little get-a-way and we could not have asked for anything more!

We stayed at the Pitcher Inn in Warren, Vermont. The Inn was located in a quaint, little village in the valley of mountains and had lots of things for us to do. We went on many hikes and picnic lunches, kayacked down one of the mountains one day, visited the birthplace of Joseph Smith, toured the Ben & Jerry's factory, went swimming in various 'swim holes' along the side of the road, and ate lots of yummy, delicious food!!
Although we ventured out from our Inn quite a bit, we could have stayed there the whole time. The service was magnificent!! We received first-class service. Geoff and I both had never stayed at an Inn so it was a different experience for both of us. Because there were only a few rooms (11) versus hundreds at a resort, the staff new us by name and provided us with anything we needed. Each time we left our room they cleaned it and left us truffles (the best part!). The made all our day arrangements and excursions and gave us the necessary items for packed lunches and such when needed. It was a very care-free vacation, perfect for our honeymoon!! We would recommend the Inn for everyone and can't wait to go back for our anniversary!!

I think Geoff's favorite part of the trip was the food!! He would jump out of bed every morning and pace the room until I was ready so we could leave for breakfast (haha - a little exaggeration). Every morning they had various hot entrees for us to choose from and homemade scones and muffins made with a different berry each day (blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, maple & walnut). We also were spoiled with fresh-squeezed orange juice with our meal!! Life couldn't have gotten any better :)

One of my favorite parts of the trip was our Ben & Jerry factory tour. This was for sure because we got FREE samples of ice cream!! Yum, Yum!
The trip was amazing!! We couldn't have asked for anything more. We are so thankful for grandparents Priests and their generous accommodations. We loved our trip!! It was so wonderful to spend the week together, away and a great start to our marriage!!
THANK YOU!!!
