We had a "CRATER" honeymoon than you!

We stayed in Midway, UT for the first 2 nights of our honeymoon. Around our little Swiss get away, were all of these little crater pond things. You can see our little cottage in the background of this picture.
On Monday we went to the Crater at Homestead.
The water is warm and very blue. Many people go scuba diving here, but we just swam around.
Ok, so I didn’t swim too much. I more of just floated around. They make you wear a life jacket, which meant I got to just relax. I was so relaxed that I even look dead in this picture.
We had a nice woman in a wheelchair take a picture of us. She took a lot more than one. She kept telling us to do something different. I decided not to put all of the pictures on here.
She really wanted to take one of us in the tunnel.
Here we are outside of the tunnel. Once we changed, we got into the car and headed up to Yellowstone.
We spent Tuesday seeing the sights in Yellowstone.
Within minutes we had to stop because there were some bison in the road and many more on the side.
A few minutes later we had to stop for some elk.
Then we stopped for the Fountain Paint Pots and many geysers.
They even had signs around to warn us about animal droppings! (Not really, but this animal probably had a good laugh.)
Andy loved the name of this one…Spasm Geyser.
Here is where some of the boiling water meets the ice cold river. It was very steamy!
Andy and I getting steamed.
Of course we had to stop and see Old Faithful. Thankfully we only had to wait about 20 minutes before it went off. It goes off about every hour.
We saw some gorgeous views as well!
We hiked down to the lower falls. The waterfall to the right drops about 308 feet! I didn’t like being close to the edge.
On our way back home, we stopped close to Rexburg, Idaho and visited the Legacy Museum of Flight. They had tons of old planes that still run. I enjoyed looking around, but Andy was like a little kid in a candy shop! He learned a lot from our tour guide.
Even though our honeymoon was only four days long, we enjoyed spending time with each other, relaxing, and seeing some amazing sights. It was a nice break after all the stress of wedding planning. Thanks Dad and Darlene for the timeshares!
I’ll blog about my perfect wedding day once I get my pictures from our photographer (less than 2 weeks).
