Welcome Family and Friends
We reflect often on all the travel moments where we fell in love. How lucky to now head abroad for our honeymoon! We're grateful for gifts towards this milestone trip, as well as a patio back at our homebase. Your presence in our lives is the greatest gift we continue to receive. Thank you.
Honeymoon
Portugal
Our 10-day trip starts in The Azores islands off the coast of Portugal, nicknamed 'the Hawaii of Europe.' There, we'll enjoy relaxing ocean views & incredible hikes. We end in Porto for a taste of art, exploration and a day trip to the Duoro Valley wine country. We promise not to travel-brag!
