After the wedding, we're looking forward to a few days of sun and relaxation in the Russian River, but then the real adventure begins: our East Coast move! We're going to take about two weeks to make the trip across, stopping to visit friends and family and see the country. We're excited - especially to enjoy local cuisine along the way. And although it's not a traditional honeymoon, it will certainly come with all the same fun and expenses - so if you're not into the traditional gift registry, this is a great way to be a part of the next chapter of our lives.

We're going to Brooklyn, NY!

Chelsea will be starting grad school at NYU in the fall and we'll be planning to set up our new home in Brooklyn, NY. It's not forever, though - we'll be headed back to the West Coast in a few years!

Where do YOU think we should visit along the way? Where should we eat? What should we see? Give us your advice and tell us about your experiences!
