My favorite post is definitely our first trip with Sheldon. It’s the first post about a fun and funny tradition Mr Frenchie and I started for our little family. Sheldon has since gone on a couple more adventures with us and it’s been a really great way to document our vacations, aside from the standard pictures we would take. Another reason I loved this post was because I wasn’t sure if you’d all think I was crazytown for bringing a miniature gnome on our honeymoon and taking pictures of him all over Vermont and Canada. The fact that a lot of you all do something similar or wanted to start a similar tradition made me smile. It’s a reminder of what a great community we have here!

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.

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?
