I’m starting another new series today – excerpts from our Adventure Journal. Most of the early dates with my wife were hikes, cross-country skiing, and the like. Once we got married, we planned to go on plenty more adventures together so we bought a journal to be a souvenir of all the places we’d go and the sights we’d see. That was nine years ago this month. We’re still going on adventures together (some big, some small). We’re a third of the way through volume two of our Adventure Journal. About once a month, I’ll post an excerpt from the journal perhaps to inspire you to set sail on new adventures.
Today’s excerpt is from the first entry in the journal the day after our wedding written on our flight to our honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands.

And so the adventure begins! Sarah and I were married in a small ceremony at her parents’ house in Sharon, New Hampshire, yesterday. The weather was perfect and we were surrounded by friends and family members. After the reception, Sarah’s college friend Liz drove us to Cambridge, MA, where her other college friends chipped in to put us up in the Hyatt Regency for the night. It was a very nice suite overlooking the Charles River and Boston.
After breakfast, we spent five hours wandering around Boston and Cambridge before taking a taxi to the airport. The weather was very nice until noon and then cloudy and cool in the afternoon. We got through security and checking in with in 20 minutes. We’re now on our way to the Scottish Highlands.
