A Peek Into Our Honeymoon, Part 4

A walk through downtown historic Gloucester (the little town in which we were staying)...

Isn't it adorably quaint?




That is the fire department, believe it or not.




This is what we got to drive around in all week long!
Nathan loved it!

He also loved the old-fashioned ice-cream parlor we visited toward the end of our trip!

So many delicious options!

A happy man with his brownie and mint-chocolate ice cream sundae! :)

*Sweetness*

Then, it was time to head back to Texas...

...where we are lovin' being in love and enjoying life together!

A Peek Into Our Honeymoon, Part 3

 One of the highlights of our trip to Virginia was the day we spent at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, the "world's most beautiful theme park."

Not only were the roller coasters a blast and the other rides lots of fun, but the whole park was divided up into European countries, giving it a unique and picturesque flair.  Here is Nathan standing in a garden in "Italy."

Happy Times!

So much color!

 Watching a Pirates 3-D movie.

 While in "Ireland" we watched a show called Celtic Fyre which was a mix between River Dance and Broadway.  It was great!

 Welcome to France


 One of the stomach-lurching thrill rides of the day.

 Heading off to England!

Quaint, isn't it?

My new favorite roller-coaster buddy!

A Peek Into Our Honeymoon, Part 2

During our week in Virginia, we spent a LOT of time fishing!

It's one of my husband's favorite activities to do!

Nearly every morning and evening found us on the dock playing catch and release!
(Sometimes, we were there in the afternoons too! Is it any wonder this man got so tan?)

 Reelin' them in...

The main fish we caught were croakers.  They made a strange purring sound...thus the name!

 Even I caught a number of fish!

It was a fun activity to do together, and Nathan was a great teacher!

Lovin' the sunshine!

 We also enjoyed a walk along the country lanes surrounding our river-front resort. :)

 The Bride

The super handsome groom!

The happy Brittons!

We also enjoyed a day trip to Yorktown, about 15 minutes away.  There we toured a museum about the revolutionary war and saw some recreated encampments like what the Colonial soldiers lived in.

Nathan and the canon.

Katrina trying to do laundry like the colonists.

An example of a cabin from that era.  So glad we don't have to sleep in a bed this size! :)

We also enjoyed seeing the beautiful little historic part of Yorktown in the riverwalk area.











Are you tired of kissing pictures yet? :)

Stay tuned for more next time in which I will post pictures of our time in Gloucester and trip to a theme park!

Meanwhile, I'm off to summer camp this week with the youth at our church and my amazing husband!
