7th Honeymoon…or 7th Anniversary…All in how you look at it!

Matt and I went away for our 7th anniversary. I got to book the trip this year as last year was Disneyland. Can’t believe it has already been a year.


Well this year, we stayed a little closer to home. We went to a bed and breakfast up in Woodland, Utah which is near Kamas. We left on Thursday, June 23 after I got off work and returned home on Sunday, June 26th.

We are calling this anniversary the backwards anniversary, because everything that we planned to do went askew.

The Askew Plans

1. We were supposed to go jet skiing on Saturday, but the weather was only 56 degrees.

2. We tried seeing Thor at the Kamas theater, which only has one screen, but we were 30 minutes late.

3. We planned to go hiking on our trip, but all hiking was either washed out or under 5 feet of snow.

4. Tried seeing Green Lantern in Heber City, but it was only showing in 3D, which Matt and I don’t like to watch cause it makes us sick.

5. Tried renting ATVs on Mirror Lake Highway, but it was closed past Mile 28 and we needed to go to Mile 49. We could have gone around Evanston, but that would be a 2 hour drive one way.


So what did we do…. We had a lot of fun anyway.

We attempted as many hikes as possible...

• We found Mill Hollow Reservoir and walked along it, until the trail was washed away. We went on a short hike that the locals love to find it being closed by the forest services.
• We went to Provo Falls twice.
• We went over to Smith and Morehouse Reservoir and found a hike that we were able to go up a mile (supposed to be a 7 mile hike one way) and had to turn around because it was wet and muddy

Other fun…

We played Angry Birds, watched a lot of movies, ate at Mom/Pop places, had a snowball fight, relaxed, walked a lot, and enjoyed being away from work, school, and homework.

Snowball fight on June 24. We propped the camera on top of the car and tried to catch us throwing snowballs at each other. See how well it turned out.

Fun on Mirror Lake Highway...well as far up as we could go. 

Snowpack at mile 28 up Mirror Lake Highway. WOW!

Lilly Lake....We went camping here about 4 years ago with Matt's family. Can't go camping here anytime soon.

This is Lost Lake across the street from Lilly Lake. Currently, I think the name is correct...until the snow melts anyway.

Pictures at Provo Falls. They were really roaring....I got a little scared.

Matt and I are practicing what it will be like when we are older sitting on our porch watching grandkids.

This is the last picture I took at the Bed and Breakfast. This was our view every morning, white sat on the deck eating breakfast.

It was beautiful and relaxing. 

Happy 7th Honeymoon Mattie. I love you more today than yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. Can’t wait for the next 7 years times 7 years times 7 years. You and I were made for each other. Crazy and absolutely happy at the same time!!!!!
