I love when I ask couples to list the highlights of their honeymoons, and they rattle off every single thing they did on their trip. THAT is the sign of a successful honeymoon! Eric and Marisa fit into that category. From the way they tell it, there wasn’t one bad moment of their trip to the Pacific Northwest.

Eric is the Director of Advancement Communications at Centenary College and Marisa works as a Resource Center teacher at a school in Maywood, NJ. He says, “We had never really been to that part of the country before, and it was something different from what everyone else does.” Portland, pictured above, was their first stop on the trip. Renting a car let them travel along at their own pace.

Their honeymoon was a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, with stops in Portland, Seattle and Cascades National Park (above). They also hopped across the Canadian border to check out Vancouver and Victoria, BC.

Eric says the whole trip was a bit of a “whirlwind” – but in a good way. They spent time hunting out vegetarian cuisine and staying in some very cute B&B’s. Just one of the many great moments was their visit to the top of Seattle’s Space Needle. Marisa thought was very cool, and Eric overcame his fear of heights for his new bride. These incredible views were the obvious payoff.

Check back all week while we travel along with these two for a whole lot of fun times.
