Maeve and Patrick
Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry! We are greatly looking forward to exploring a part of the USA that neither of us has visited before. We will be starting in San Francisco and following the coast road through Northern California, Oregon, and Washington State, taking in some redwoods, rivers, and scenic coastline along the way. Our final destination is Seattle, where we plan on spending a few days drinking coffee and geeking out at the Sci-Fi museum. We've listed two levels of gifts below—basic and "upgrades"—with the hopes that people will see to our basic needs first, then start adding perks. Any gift of any amount you might give to help make this an amazing journey would be received with gratitude and love!
