It’s fun to take a quick trip down memory lane and revisit
some of our adventures from early in our relationship. I am the first to admit that I was not easy
to date; averaging 1200 miles between us most weeks, I’d fly home Friday night
after 9pm and fly out Sunday morning.
But we maximized our time, and planned some adventures whenever
possible. You may remember James’ visit
to El Paso and Augusta, but we also met up in Seattle and Las Vegas for quick
sightseeing trips – but more on Vegas later!

Our friends who were getting married suggested the Boeing
Museum of Flight so we headed towards the airport, guided by my Garmin
GPS. This was still in my BlackBerry
days so we had to rely on Garmin maps and after exploring a retired Air Force
One and Concord planes, we were kind of underwhelmed. That was, until we discovered we had started
our visit in the annex of the main museum!
We quickly crossed the skywalk to the main part of the museum and loved
looking at as many displays as we could squeeze in. It felt like we barely skimmed the surface
and honestly, I think we could spend a full day or two to see everything.
After seeing as much as we could, we headed back to the
suburbs to get ready for the wedding reception, and spent the evening
celebrating and making new friends.
Their backyard wedding reception served as some inspiration for our own
wedding two years later. We caught a bit
of sleep before catching 6am flights Sunday morning – mine returning to Georgia
and his back to Des Moines. It was such
a quick trip but so wonderful to celebrate with friends and explore the city
with my love!
