The first thing that everyone asked once they heard we were going to Iceland is "Why?". Well, ever since I have known Josh, he has wanted to go to Iceland (mainly to take pictures). And for those of you who know me well and know how much I love reality TV, can understand my excitement when I discovered a 4-day "Bachelorette" package to Iceland. The package (which contained a lot of activities we wanted to do) coupled with a non-stop flight convinced us that this was the perfect trip.
We had a great time exploring the country and being true tourists for a few days. Although we thoroughly enjoyed our little break away, I was excited to head home and see my kiddos - they were definitely missed!
A huge thank you to Ferryboat Grandma for watching the kids and dog while we were gone - definitely the best anniversary gift ever!!
-Day One-
After a 7 hour flight, we landed in Iceland at 6:30 a.m. Unfortunately, neither Josh or I was able to sleep on the plane so once we got checked into our hotel, we took a quick nap and then headed out to check out the town of Reykjavik.

The Church of HallgrÃmur
This Lutheran church is 244 feet tall and took 38 years to build. Definitely a sight to see!

Voted as the 'Best Hot Dog in Europe'Josh and I didn't necessarily agree. The hot dogs tasted a bit odd and were served on a bun with french fried onions, raw onions, a sweet ketchup, brown mustard and mayonnaise - very interesting!
We were surprised by the amount of graffiti we saw on buildings throughout the town.Our package included dinner at this awesome restaurant.
We had pan fried lobster tails and scallop with chorizo, butternut and orange hollandaise - it was delicious! This was the same restaurant and meal that Ali and one of the boys had during their visit to Iceland :)

Beautiful pictures! I must admit, I was one of those going "Iceland? Why Iceland?" I claim ignorance. Now from seeing your pictures, it looks like a beautiful place to visit. Glad you guys had a good time.
Looks like a very "colorful" place! Amazing church!! Glad your dinner was better than the famous hot dog :)
Great pictures... what kind of camera?? I'm looking to buy a new one, and am learning all I can before making a decision!
Looks like a great trip; good for you guys!!
Paula - Josh has a Nikon D50 but unfortunately they don't make it anymore...I'm not sure what the equivalent might be. Good luck finding a new one!
