Hola todos!!! Thank you so much for all of your love and support over the years. We are sooo looking forward to spending time with everyone in Jackson, and for those that can't make it, in the near future! We've always wanted to see the Pacific Northwest and the Northwest Mountain Region. Neither of us have been to Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, or Washington, and we are extremely excited about our chance to hike some of the most scenic mountains and see some of the most diverse wildlife that the U.S. has to offer. Miami is as flat as could be and we are not particularly fond of alligators. For those of you that have asked us about giving a less traditional gift, we thought you might like the opportunity to help us with our dream vacation. Love more,

Tom y Caro.

We're going to Yellowstone, Glacier, Olympic National Parks!

We are beginning are honeymoon by traveling to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming with our families and a few friends. We will spend four days and five nights in the park until our families leave on Saturday. After that, we'll be on our own. The first day we'll travel to Missoula, Montana (of a River Runs Through It fame) for some afternoon fishing then on to Glacier National Park in northern Montana where we spend two nights in the park's oldest and most beautiful cabins (McDonald Lodge and Glacier Park Lodge) and one night camping with grizzly bears, black bears and wolves. Seriously, lots of bears. Carolina has never camped. This can't go wrong.

After hiking the Continental Divide and trekking the Going-to-the-Sun road, we'll be ready for a day of rest. On Tuesday, we'll drive to Ceour d'Alene, Idaho where we'll stay at the Ceour d'Alene resort. We'll treat ourselves to the spa (Carolina's nails will be completely gone after those bear encounters and Tom of course will be complaining about some part of his body hurting). Tuesday will be a day of relaxation. Tom might even try golfing --- only because one of the greens is in the middle of a giant lake, and you have to take a boat to get to the green. Wednesday its off to Olympic Park on the western coast of Washington where we will spend the next three days camping in the Hoh rainforest and on deserted beaches. Finally, we'll head to Seattle for the Fourth of July before our trip back to Miami.
