Honeymoon

 Since I got married in May I've planned a honeymoon for next year around our anniversary. It's not the greatest adventure, but it should prove very fun. For our honeymoon we will be doing a Civil War trail and tour that I have all planned.

It starts Saturday at 9 am. This is when we wake up, and leave to Antietam. It's about a 2 hour drive from us. So we explore Antietam and have lunch on the battlefield via a picnic we brought from home. After we have explored the grounds and museum, we will head to a German restaurant called the Bavarian Inn and Brewery where we will eat Bavarian food and drink beer. Then we'll go to our hotel in Harper's Ferry. 

The next morning we will wake up and go to Harper's Ferry. We'll explore the grounds and museum and have lunch on the historic town wherever we want. Then we'll shop the town. I'm looking forward to seeing all the little shops. We'll head to Kelly's Farm Kitchen for dinner. It's vegan fare, but has amazing reviews. I like Vegan food because it's food. We'll go back to our hotel for a bit or hit up a bar. Whatever is more fun.

On Monday we'll leave Harper's Ferry at 9 and head up to Gettysburg. We will have a horseback tour at 10 that lasts 2 hours. I love that that is an option. It's expensive, but it will be so worth it. We'll have lunch at the Dobbin House Tavern. It's a pub fare situation. Soups and sandwiches are mostly served. Then we'll go back to Gettysburg to explore in our car with the app. We will have dinner at a restaurant called Sign of the Buck. It's an upscale restaurant that serves seafood and meat dishes. We'll then do a ghost tour of Gettysburg. Finally we'll head to the hotel and check in for the night. 

Tuesday we'll drive to DC. We'll spend some time on The Mall, and then eat lunch at a street vendor. Then it's off to Ford's Theater. Some more exploring is in order at that point. Finally, we'll cap our night at Karma Modern Indian for their tasting menu. It's a Indian fusion restaurant so that should be fun. We'll then go to our hotel which we've stayed at before. It will be good memories.

The next morning, Wednesday, we'll drive to Manassas, and take in the battlefield and museum. Lunch is at Taste of Old Country. It's a place that sells oils and vinegars, but has a restaurant too. We'll go back to the battlefield and look around, and finally end up at Crossroads Tabletop Tavern where dinner will be served with board games and beer.

On Thursday it's off to Richmond. The White House of the Confederacy will be our first stop. Then we'll be off to a Segway tour of the Hollywood Cemetery. Lunch will be wherever we wish, but dinner will be at L'Opossum. It's a French fusion restaurant. We'll be in for an upscale treat. 

Friday morning we'll drive to Appomattox. I want to see where the South surrendered. I have nothign for eating at Appomattox, but I'm sure we'll find something. 

The next day, Saturday, we will drive up the 151 corridor and stop at wineries, breweries, and distilleries before coming home. 

As you can see, I have a lot planned for our honeymoon. I'm excited about it. We'll do it in May of next year. I'll post pictures when I actually do it.
