We're going to The Pacific Northwest & Hawaii!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for visiting our honeymoon webpage! We've decided to spend our honeymoon in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii! We're starting with the Willamette Valley, then spending a couple of days in Portland and the Columbia River Gorge, then driving to Vancouver, BC. And since we'll be on the west coast, and we've never been to Hawaii before, we thought it'd be a great time to go--so we'll be going to Maui for 5 nights before returning to Seattle for 2 nights!

We're beginning our honeymoon at the aptly named Allison Inn & Spa (too bad Alison is spelled wrong!) in Newberg, Oregon, where we're looking forward to splitting our time between exploring the Willamette Valley and relaxing at the hotel spa. Often when we take vacations, we're on the go the whole time, so we're looking forward to taking it easy for a couple of days and enjoying a romantic respite in wine country.

While in Oregon, we plan to explore the beautiful countryside, visit the Oregon Coast, go winetasting, hike in the Columbia River Gorge (we especially want to see Multnomah Falls), and partake in the culinary delights of the Pacific Northwest. :)

For the second leg of our trip, we'll be driving to Vancouver, British Columbia. We've never been to Vancouver before, but we've heard great things...if you have recommendations, please let us know! Since it is nestled between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, we are sure that it will provide us with many things to see and explore--both urban things and nature!

From Vancouver, we're driving to Seattle to catch a flight to Maui! We're looking forward to some relaxing beach time, ocean fun, and Hawaiian adventures. :) If you have recommendations of things to do in Maui, we'd love to hear them!

Finally...we're flying to Seattle to spend 2 nights before returning to Houston. We're staying in the Pike Place Market area, and we're so excited to explore the city!
