mini moon

Tim & I just celebrated our 2nd anniversary.  I like to think of myself as a romantic, but a bottle of Maker's Mark just didn't seem special enough.  So, I made him a "love bug" book with photos from our honeymoon.  Those photos will come later, but here are some from our "mini moon".  I was teaching Spanish at the time and couldn't take our actual honeymoon until holiday break, so we drove to western CT with a camera & some expired film.  We spent a few days at Bella Alpacas Farm, explored Kent Falls, and tooted around Alex Grey's CoSM, Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.  

An alpaca sneezed on Tim's face.

niagara falls

The beginning of the waterfall adventure was Niagara Falls.  We went on the Hornblower tour, journeyed Behind the Falls, drank Canadian wine, and watched fireworks from our bedroom window.  The moon was getting full and the falls were illuminated and changed colors at night.   Around the hotel were a bunch of amusements, so we also went through a mirror maze.  For $8, we could run into walls, talk to each other's reflections without knowing the difference, aaaand listen to with Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" (which made me very happy).
