We're planning a road trip for our honeymoon. Yes, we know, it sounds dangerous—but we figured we'd put the marriage to the test right off. If this trip doesn't end it, nothing will. :)
Seriously though,
we knew we wanted a honeymoon that involved golf, and the
idea of hitting the road with a minivan full of snacks really appealed to us. (We both love snacks in general, Al loves minivans, and Lori remembers fondly a childhood road trip to Florida in which she and her sister rode in the back of a (capped) pickup truck, armed with an intercom and a bag full of kid-friendly snacks.)
Tentative Honeymoon Schedule, Draft 4 ~ Designed to meet both Al's & Lori's
priorities (A: spend time in Central Florida, drive a lot, golf at least twice,
rest a couple days, relax, eat interesting foods; L: spend time relaxing at a spa resort,
golf at least twice, see Santa Fe, see Texas, eat snacks, stop at funky diners
& other food spots, take photographs).
