1st anniversary

[tootsie]

Married life is just wonderful! My husband and I (I love saying husband, heheh!) are planning a road trip to Montreal, Canada for our first anniversary. We'll start in Atlanta and make our way through the Smokey Mountains. We will stop in DC, NYC, the Hershey Chocolate Factory in PA, Niagara Falls, and finally Montreal. I think we're going to try and take 9 days off (including weekends). I am so excited about this trip! What did you all do for your first anniversary or what do you plan to do?

[ikkin510]

Our first anniversary is in a little over a month. We want to go somewhere and do something special but have no clue what yet! LOL. Maybe Niagara Falls. Who knows! DH has 6 days off with the way his schedule is that weekend so the only thing set in stone is we will be taking a trip and getting out of town for a while!

I can't wait to see Niagara Falls - is it really beautiful?

[ikkin510]

I've never been there before, but Dh and lots of our family have. They all say the Canadian side is much better then the US side. So if we go, we will most likely stay on the Canadian side. I hear it is beautiful though.

[SerendipityCrafts]

I have never been to the US side but I can tell you that the Canadian side is awesome. There are all kinds of hotels in the area that cater to lovers :)

When are you planning the trip? If you want to email us, we would be happy to meet up with you when you get to Montreal or give you some suggestions of where to go and what to see. We can also help you out re: where to stop on the trip between Niagara and Montreal :)

Definately the Candian side is sooo much more beautiful than the US side. I have been to both. If you have a chance try to get on the "Maid of the Mist" boat ride it takes you right down to the falls but you will get wet! It's awesome to experience it! Also the gardens and the butterfly gardens are breathtaking! Very much worth the tour. They have tour bus that takes you to the whirl pool, gardens, butterfly gardens, which is really neat! The main drag which is called something hill..I can't remember has a lot of touristy things to do.. They have wax museums, haunted rides, stuff like that. I'm sure they are very costly but I never went into those things. I know they have a karoke bar that I have gone to both times I was up there and I loved it! It's outside and its so much fun to watch people get up and sing. It's even better when you have a bachelor or bachlorette party up there! That's wehn its quite amusing...Your stopping at Hershey! That's about an hour south of me! I love chocolate world!!! So many fun things to do there too! The road trip sounds like a great get away!!!

[KMS]

That sounds like SO much fun! Road trips are awesome. I have a little VW Bug and that thing is a fun road trip car for some reason. If you guys want to take a road trip for your anniversary where you are stuck next to eachother for hours upon hours then you MUST be doing wonderful! :D

I think, if we have the money, that we'll probably take a vacay up North so that Chad can see some snow. Before we got our Mexico honeymoon as a gift, that's what we had wanted to do for our honeymoon.

[NicksBride]

ohh Niargra Falls is awesome and SOO beautiful! We are planning on heading there for our one year as well!! Montreal is only about an hour from us and we LOVe going there, what a great city!!!
That sounds like an awesomet trip, NYC and Hershey PA are by far a MUST see when driving as well. Make sure to do the chocolate tour there as they give you free samples. hahaha

[Goin2thechapel]

Niagar falls is just beautiful and Nikki, on your trip ujp this way you can stop and see me:) That's the best part huh ...LOL

For our first anniversary we have booked a cruise to the Carribbean...I can't wait!!! 2 months and counting!!!

Thanks, we are planning for August of 2008. I know we want to see the Botanical Gardens, shop of course, and I think we might stay at a bed and breakfast. Know of any historical sites?

[Goin2thechapel]

I'm always narcissistic :) But no one can perfect it like you do ;)

hehehe love ya!

[WebLady]

Hope you guys have a great anniversary!

We have had 2 wedding anniversaries so far, but haven't done anything special yet ;)

[ikkin510]

Don't worry Elizabeth and Amanda, I think we can make time to meet up with both of you! We would probably be there October 4-8. But like I said, right now it's all up in the air seeing we are both slow on making a decision on it...LOL. I've always wanted to go to Boston too. So that's another option that we've talked about.

[Goin2thechapel]

Well, We do have TWO spare bedrooms that you're more than welcome to stay at :) Plus we're only like an hour away from the White Mountains :)

Then I can take ya to Boston for a good old fashion Duck Tour! Oh the funn we will have! :)

[TangoWedding]

That'll be great!!

We're doing a big roadtrip for our honeymoon (not sure where yet...but it'll be about 7-8 days)...and then for our 1-year anniversary, we've already booked a resort in Dominican Republic. :grinhappy:

Whatcha doing next week? We have a week off and we were planning to just stay at home but MA isn't far from Montreal at all :)

Hugh and I talked last night about planning our 5th anniversary + Hugh's 50th birthday. Thinking about a month long trip to OZ or England/Ireland/Scotland. Whatever we don't do, we can do 2 years after that for my 20th birthday LOL

Hey I am still on leave Elizabeth. I will go down and see you if you go there. I would have to. Meeting you two would be so cool. Not sure it woudl be possible at all with 3 kids and a car not working right but hey that would be a blast if one day we could all meet. That would be too cool.

That would be fun. It certainly sounds better than our current vacation plans of finally doing our taxes, going to the dentist, tackling clean up of the storage closet or having a mamogram!

[rainbowtreat]

I never realized there were this many so close together inhere. We should realy plan to meet one day. Maybe next summer we and any one who wants to can meet up. We could spend the next year planningit as to where and when and things like that. What do you all think?

[Goin2thechapel]

OMG!!! Let get the husbands together and make a day trip!!! YAY, But I wouldn't want to impose on you baby making days...We'll plan accordingly;)

[NicksBride]

Oh gosh you wouldn't impose. If all goes well I will hopefully be pregnant then. haha wishful thinking i know.

Oh it would be soooo great! You guys NEED to come. The weather is gorgeous, the foliage is amazing. We could take you to Stowe and the toll roads to walk around. Visit the Ben and Jerry Factory where they make the ice cream, see the leaves and the scenery.. Its fantastic!!!! Nick would love to meet your hubby!! :)

[rainbowtreat]

I'm sure that they would really hit it off..My hubby is an Engineer so he sometimes talks all smart and stuff and I know your hubby is pretty smart too so they can talk while we shop...PLUS I've always wanted to go to the Ben and Jerry's shop...I've heard awesome things about it!

[NicksBride]

Well lets really think about it. You get free samples and they do tours. Its fantastic!!! Oh man, I am so excited now..

Gwen, I am hoping to get pregnant, but if do have a baby by the summer everyone will just come to me and you bring your kids and we will have a fantastic time. Either way, we really need to think about it. With you, me, Amanda and Elizabeth are close as well. WE should go to the beach somewhere too... In Maine or New Hampshire. Old Orchard Beach or Weirs Beach, oh geez.. So exciting. :)

Well I can't think any more on it right now I have to take my neice half way home today. If we do choose to do this then any one who wants to be there should let any one of us know. ( I am not volentering to be in charge here lol we all can do it together ) And we can get something together.

I am excited too. This would be realy fun. Gives me something to look forward to planning lol. I planned the wedding and the baby so I need something else to do.

[NicksBride]

hehe well we WILL plan it. Something to look forward to during the winter as I hate it. I wouldn't mind planning it, I love doing stuff like this..I love planning!

[ikkin510]

Shesh Amanda, you are really making me think! I may just inform Steve we are going to Niagara Falls Or MA for our anniversary. He gets no say....HAHAHA!

[Goin2thechapel]

Okay...Pros and Cons about Massachusetts in October

Pros=
Beautiful foliage
Cooler weather
Apple picking
Duck tours still in season
Patriots are playing
I'm here!

Cons=
It is New England after all...Weather can never be predicted
Boston after dark = BIG NO NO...Higher crime rate this year than in previous 7 years


Oh loook at that..Pros outweigh the cons...I guess you'll just have to think about it :)

[tootsie]

My hubby wants to drive to Toronto too! Man, we are going to have a fun trip!
