A Honeymoon to Remember

I wrote this after looking at some honeymoon photographs.

My hubby and I first married

Nearly forty years ago,

And decided for a honeymoon

We wanted to head for the snow.

Austria was just the place

For our house-party holiday,

Where everything was included

And there was nothing extra to pay.

We knew we couldn’t ski

But that didn’t stop the fun,

As we hired two shiny skibobs

And headed for the cresta run.

We zoomed down icy hills

And each time we hit a bump

We soared through the air laughing,

Till we came down again with a thump.

We took a trip up the mountain

In the dark on a horse and sleigh.

The horse behind ate my bobble hat

As I watched it disappear in dismay.

Once at the top we drank mulled wine

Which soon warmed us up once again,

Then as toboggans were handed out

Our excitement was hard to contain.

Image via Wikipedia

My hubby and I shot off fast.

Not one ounce of control did we show,

As we tumbled off into a gulley

And came up with faces full of snow.

It was an amazing honeymoon

We danced and we sang and we played.

And returned home in very high spirits

Remembering the wonderful place where we stayed.

you surely have a good honeymoon and it’s nice that you shared it.. BTW I do look at old photographs, specially our wedding photos whenever some differences comes out of our relationship. Believe those pictures are always telling me, to go patch up with my wife..
