Down To Two

Jimmy has always been in charge of the honeymoon. I think from the first week we were engaged I told him that it would all be his decision. Why?

1. I knew I'd be doing much of the planning myself, so I thought the honeymoon would be a good way to get him involved.
2. Jimmy hasn't traveled as much in his life as I have in mine. Most of his past vacations either involved camping in Canada, or skiing in the Rocky Mountains. I wanted him to pick a place he wanted to see regardless of whether I'd already been there in my life.

Since we've been engaged, people have been asking us where we'll be honeymooning. My usual response was usually, "We're not sure where or when we'll be going on a honeymoon." I'd talk to Jimmy about it and he just couldn't decide. Europe? The Caribbean? Australia? Mexico?

Well it turns out that none of those choices are on the top of Jimmy's list. Last night he revealed that he was debating between a Hawaiian vacation...

or a road trip up the coast of California.

Both of which would be amazing in their own ways.

No matter what he chooses, we will be setting up a honeyfund registry to help offset the cost since the wedding itself is already costing way more than we imagined it would in the beginning. Our BBB registry stands at 85 items, and most are small kitchen gadgets. FBIL's wife Sonya really pushed the idea of a honeymoon registry on Easter, and Jimmy and I both thought it sounded like a neat idea. We're prepared to pay for the entire honeymoon ourselves, but anything we may receive from the honeyfund will be icing on the cake. Guests could choose how they'd like us to spend the money such as a night in the hotel, or a day at a fun museum.

What would you choose? Hawaii or California? I'm hoping for Hawaii because I know how amazing it is having been there a few times, and I doubt Jimmy and I will go there any other time in our lives. Although a trip up the Californian coast in a convertible sounds like it'd be such a fun, memory making trip.
