Back to reality

Well folks, Bruce and I are back from our honeymoon.

It was so nice to get away from everything for a week and just spend time together as a couple.

On Monday, we went and saw "How to Train Your Dragon 2".  Super good, we both highly recommend it.

Tuesday, we went to Tautphaus Park.  We played miniature golf and went on the Ferris Wheel before heading over to the zoo to see the animals.  There were some really pretty birds (which the camera on my phone didn't do justice), and a lot of other fun animals as well.

On Wednesday, we took the scenic route to Yellowstone and stopped at Mesa Falls.

It is a very pretty place, and it was nice to get out of the car and walk a bit.  Once we got to Yellowstone, we checked into our hotel and then went to shoot guns!  Bruce shot a gatling gun and a Walther PPX and I shot the Walther and a Baby Eagle.  It was a blast!

Thursday we went into the park and saw all the geysers, hot pools, and went on an impromptu hike.  Seriously, Yellowstone is gorgeous!  I don't see how people can think it's a gross/boring place!  More nature for us, I guess!

My very favorite hot pool was the second from the bottom, it's called Morning Glory, and the photos I took don't even do it justice.

On Friday, we left early in the morning and drove to Montana where we went on a super fun adventure of ziplining and white water rafting.  We actually went on the longest zipline in Montana, and while it was initially slightly terrifying, forcing myself to leap from a ridiculously high platform seemingly into oblivion, it was awesome!  Such a rush!  The white water rafting was also really good.  Bruce and I were positioned up front, so we got the brunt of all the rapids, and it was amazing!

We drove home on Friday, and then on Saturday we ventured down to Lava Hot Springs and floated the river a few times.  And by "floated the river", I mean we careened down falls and over rocks in tubes...and now I'm sporting some lovely bruises.  After the river, we ate lunch and then went to the pool area and went on some water slides before the weather turned around on us and we headed to Pocatello for some billiards and dinner.

Now we're just adjusting back into normal life...work and such...gotta love it!
