Neal and I spent a lot of time deciding where were wanted to go for our honeymoon.  Initially we were going to go to Hawaii for a relaxing week long honeymoon but after realizing that you never know how quickly kids may come post marriage, we decided to take a 2+ week honeymoon in Europe.

Our first to-do was to pick the dates we’d be gone.  After looking at airline tickets, we decided to leave the Monday after our wedding (July 9) and to return a little over two weeks later on Tuesday, July 24.  With our tickets booked, we next to decide where all we wanted to go in between our arrival city, Amsterdam, and our departure city, Munich.

In the end, we traveled to 10 cities and 5 countries in 16 days.  It. Was. Awesome!  Here are a few teasers from our adventure.
