Frenchiemoon: Sheldon’s Adventures

September 4th, 2009 @ 11:58 am by Mrs. French Bulldog

Hi Hive, I’m back! Mr Frenchie and I got back from our fabulous honeymoon Wednesday night and we’re already back at work (but only for 2 days, thank God). I’m trying to catch up on work in the office, but I can’t stay away from Weddingbee. Like many married bees before me, I’m waiting for my pro photos to recap our wedding. In the meantime, I have a few last minute projects to fill you in on and a honeymoon to talk about! :)

I forget where I saw this, but I read about a couple that brought a tiny stuffed animal with them when they traveled and took its picture along the way. I told Mr Frenchie about it and we thought it would be fun to bring the desk gnome I bought him a few years ago, along on our travels.

I bring you: Sheldon’s Adventures…

Sheldon, stretching his legs on our layover at Dulles International Airport. Traveling can be cramped in my tote bag.

Here, Sheldon is claiming first dibs on the Keurig coffee machine in our room at The Essex in Vermont.

San Diego based Stone Brewery was coming to The Essex for a brew and food pairing! Sheldon could not get over the coincidence.

Enjoying the bustle of the streets in Vieux Quebec at dinner our first night in French Canada.

Sheldon posing with a souvenir from our cheapest meal in Canana at L’omelette.

Don’t worry, he wasn’t going to jump! Sheldon, is just admiring the view of Old Montreal from our hotel room.

Sheldon was totally stuffed after burgers at Harvey’s. He may have gone a little overboard on his toppings.

Celebrating Mr Frenchie’s 29th birthday overlooking Ottawa at Merlot Rooftop Grill. Sheldon felt a tad undressed that evening.

Sheldon finally got to see a Keurig in action in Ottawa. We need to get one of these for Mr Frenchie’s desk!

Celebrating our early return back to Vermont (from Ottawa… why did we leave early? You’ll have to wait to find out)! Sheldon was most excited to try the Stout at Vermont Pub and Brewery.

Perhaps a bit too excited… but don’t worry, he wasn’t driving.

On our last day in Vermont, Sheldon enjoyed a lunch cruise on Lake Champlain aboard The Spirit of Ethan Allen 3. Sadly there were no Champ sightings, but there was a buffet.

Sheldon (too white for the flash) after being picked up from the airport by GM B. Not honeymooning on a beach really hinders your tanning.

So, now you have a sneak peek at our honeymoon (or the Frenchiemoon) and you know all about our crazy new traveling tradition.

Have you and your Mr started any fun traditions?

Love the gnome. I read a blog where a couple tookt 13 months and travelled around the world on their honeymoon. They had a lego bride and groom they took shots of. So fun to incorporate him into your shots!

Mrs. French Bulldog, you are hilarious. I never would have thought to take a gnome with us on our honeymoon. I bet you got a lot of weird stares from other people! LOL. It does make for some funny pictures though. And it was like you and Mr. FB had your own private joke. Thanks for sharing. I am glad your back. The hive isn’t the same without you.

That’s fun and a way to have interesting photos without having to pose for all of them. Do you carry him in your purse? Does Mr Frenchie ever carry him?

i LOVE it! My brother did the same thing with beer cans from local breweries when he was in Europe… he would hide a can in each photo so all his pictures were like a big ‘where’s waldo’ game. LOVE the gnome!

@mary-alice-me: I would carry Sheldon around in my purse. Sheldon would have felt really awkward in Mr Frenchie’s pocket ;-)

Am I the only one who’s noticed that this is just like the garden gnome in Amelie, who travelled round the world in photos? I LOVE the idea! I so wish we’d done it on our honeymoon. :-)

I’m pretty sure I was on my own Quebec adventure at the same time you were! My husband and I decided to wait a year to go on our honeymoon (money you know…) I am originally from Montreal so we went back to visit and did all the wonderful touristy things, I am now in love with Old Quebec!! And Harveys?!! YUM I missed it so much, I hope you enjoyed some poutine!!
