wedding01KateIandParrot The Big Day - June 15, 2002, Kate and I got married in front of our family and friends on a decent Saturday afternoon, though we did have a little bit of rain that day after the ceremony. We all had a great time. The other highlight was having the Pirate Parrot mascot show up at the reception. He really got the party jumpin'. wedding01KateIandParrot

whoneymoon01VermontStream The Honeymoon Week 1: Wilmington, Vermont. Kate and I received a great gift from her brother Tom in the form of a time-share at the Craft's Inn in Wilmington, VT. While there we took in the local sights from the Green Mountains to the river streams. whoneymoon01VermontStream
whoneymoon02SaratogaMonument One of the days we took a day trip to Saratoga National Historic Park, New York to visit the sight of America's first crucial victory in the Revolutionary War. whoneymoon02SaratogaMonument
whoneymoon03KateandVermontTeddyBear Later, we headed north to the Vermont Teddy Bear factory. We took the factory tour, then Kate bought herself a little buddy. whoneymoon03KateandVermontTeddyBear
whoneymoon04NHOldManintheMountain The final thing that day was the trip to see Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream factory. We took that tour and received a small sample. The next day we took a trip to Monadanock State Park, New Hampshire. It was becoming cloudy and could rain, so we headed back into Vermont and did a short hike at Molly Stark State Park, VT. That night for dinner we headed just 5 miles north of Wilmington to the town of West Dover. We ate at T.C.'s Family Restaurant, which is the actual home of Kelly Clark, the first gold medal winner for the United States in Snowboarding at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. The next day we took a day trip to New Hampshire. We stopped at Franconia State Park and took the trail to The Flume. The next stop was to gander at the symbol of New Hampshire (you can see it on the back of New Hampshire's State Quarter) called the Profile, or Old Man in the Mountain. Unfortunately, in early to mid 2003 the main rocks that made up the forehead and nose part of the profile came crashing down, so it no longer looks like a profile. whoneymoon04NHOldManintheMountain
whoneymoon05KateandSteveatMtWashington The final stop that day was to Mt. Washington State Park. Kate and I drove on the 8 mile long, narrow, and curvy road to reach the summit at 6,288 feet. Some nice folks took a photo of Kate and I at the summit. whoneymoon05KateandSteveatMtWashington
whoneymoon06MtWashingtonWindSpeed This mountain has the distinction of having the highest recorded wind speed in the world, outside of tornadoes and Antarctica, at 231 MPH. whoneymoon06MtWashingtonWindSpeed
whoneymoon07KatewithgranitefracturesAcadia After we checked out of the time-share, to head to Janice's Mom's place in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, we stopped off at Acadia National Park, Maine. There were some nice views from the top of Cadillac Mountain, where I took this image of Kate and the granite rocks. whoneymoon07KatewithgranitefracturesAcadia
whoneymoon08KateandSteveatCapeCodBeach The Honeymoon Week 2: Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The second week was spent at Janice's Mom's place in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Janice was there to drop off the wedding present for Kate and I. It was a lovely quilt that she created herself with some help from her mom. It was laid out on the bed in the cabin Kate and I were staying. Most of this week was spent at the beach, only 3/10 of a mile down the road. Kate and I had a great time at the beach. Janice took this shot of us with the sunset in the background. whoneymoon08KateandSteveatCapeCodBeach

whoneymoon12KateandJaniceatCapeCodNS Janice took us by the Atlantic side of Cape Cod, which is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. I snapped a decent image of Kate and Janice on this side of Cape Cod. whoneymoon12KateandJaniceatCapeCodNS
whoneymoon13CheersBar The last full day we were there, Kate, Janice, some friends of Janice, and I went to Boston to attend the Red Sox vs. Indians game. We also went down early so that we could visit some sights. The first thing we did was eat lunch at the new downtown replica of the Cheers Bar. whoneymoon13CheersBar
whoneymoon14USSConstitution We then took a trolley tour of Boston. One of the cool stops on the tour was to go to the Charlestown Naval Shipyard as part of the Boston National Historic Park. At this stop was the oldest commissioned naval ship in the world - the USS Constitution. whoneymoon14USSConstitution
whoneymoon15USSCassinYoungDD793 After we took a tour on the ship we went on the USS Cassin Young (DD-793), which was next to the Constitution. The Cassin Young was actually hit by a Kamakazi during the Battle of Okinawa during World War II, but the Fletcher-class destroyer was tough enough to survive. whoneymoon15USSCassinYoungDD793
whoneymoon16FenwayPark After leaving the ships we all headed to Fenway Park for the game. whoneymoon16FenwayPark
whoneymoon17KateandJaniceatFenway Here is Kate and Janice in the stands of Fenway. The game was eventually rained out, because passing thunderstorms dumped alot of rain on the field to the point that it wouldn't dry out quickly. whoneymoon17KateandJaniceatFenway
