Back before Russ and I had started dating, we'd been at a luncheon with several other co-workers. Russ had mentioned how he was going to take his wife to Australia on their honeymoon after he got married. I'd asked when he got engaged, and he mentioned he wasn't engaged, but when he did get married, he was definitely taking his wife to Australia.
Well, here we are on a flight to Alaska. True, we weren't heading to Australia, but Alaska does start with an A. So doesn't that count? Plus, since we got married in January, that was NOT the time to be making a trip to Alaska. So here's to our "real" honeymoon!
We officially departed Langley on 5 July and drove up to Andrews AFB. We only stayed one night at lodging and departed for the long flight to Anchorage from Ronald Reagan National Airport. It was a long, but non-stop, flight. Of course, Russ had to sit by the window so he could enjoy the view and plot our flight path.
You wouldn't know it by looking at the level of the sun, but it was after 10 p.m. when this picture was taken. (This was the rental car we had while in Alaska.) When we had a hard time finding an open restaurant, we finally figured things out when we looked at the clock on the car to see how late it was. So for our first meal on our honeymoon, we ate at Arby's. (It was open!)
