Anniversary Trip Plans

Last year, for our first wedding anniversary, Alex planned a trip. It was a total surprise for me - Alex planned it all, booked the hotels, and even printed a step-by-step map for the surprise element. It was great! We went to Hearst Castle and then stayed at the Madonna Inn. If you've never heard of it, check it out. It's fantastically gaudy! 

We stayed in the "Hearts and Flowers" room. Check out this amazing room! The wallpaper was even textured. The shower/sinks were made out of rocks excavated when the Inn was built. 

This year is my turn to plan the trip. I've decided; Zion National Park in Utah, with a stopover in Bryce Canyon for a night, and then perhaps crashing in Vegas (halfway home) for the night before finally heading home. It's a long drive, but who knows how long we'll live out West, and I want to check out these landmarks while we can! I'm excited and need to start booking hotel rooms and all that! I didn't keep a surprise as planned though, because I wanted to make sure Alex was on board with that much driving!
