My FI and I are going on our honeymoon a couple months after our June wedding, probably late September, maybe even spring next year. We want to go down south like North or South Carolina or out west like Colorado or Wyoming. I want to see mountains or the ocean. Is there any place you can recommend? We want to avoid big cities or tourist traps like Orlando. We like camping and hiking. FYI we're going to be driving from michigan and we'll probably only have a week maybe 10 days.
Re: Where to go
Wyoming and Colorado are pretty awesome. They are perfect for camping and secluded honeymoons. My best friend actually went there for her honeymoon and they brought their dogs with. There are so many National Parks and wildlife and you can pretty much go anywhere from Denver to Laramie. I also have a friend that lives in Wyoming and it is very secluded and far but extremely gorgeous. Love the pictures they post. And you could always swing through Omaha on your way out west. :-)

That island sounds cool I'll talk to my FI about it and ill check it out online. thanks!
you could easily drive to upstate new york, hit the adirondacks and catsills, drive through and go to rhode island, CT shore, Long island, mass shore, islands etc.. or up to maine. there are the white mountains in NH too or the berkshires in MA.
Thanks for the advice. But The weather in the northeast is just as unpredicatble and very similar to that in michigan during the times of year we want to go. Either may of next year or September of this year. Which means we may not be able to swim because it could be too cold. which would be a huge bummer for me. But I think it would be okay to swim in va or nc or sc that time of year.
LOL you didn't say you wanted to swim. you only said you want to go to the beach.
well-nyc and long island, and along the sound-CT, RI, MA.
i love int he NE so i know all about sept weather here. ocean water, by me anyway, is still fine to swim in. it's not unpredictable here in september. it's warm. actually usually it's pretty freaking hot. our weather is not like michigans
Sorry I always thought swimming and beaches are synomous. Going to a beach that I couldn't swim at would be like going to a theme park where all the rides were broken. Michigan can get pretty hot in September too. I've even gone swimming in Lake Huron in October. Granted it was a freakishly warm October 85 degrees. But a couple years before that I had a snowball fight in october. But I always hear about those nor'easter storms in the north east.
