Go somewhere where you can do something fun. On my (our) honeymoon we went to Italy. But in addition to Rome, Florence, etc., we went to the Dolomites and did some hiking and a via ferrata. We would have done more but my wife caught a cold and, since it WAS our honeymoon, I couldn't exactly ditch her and go climbing.

We have a similar trip planned. The bride to be is not into hiking much but I'd like to at least spend a night in the Dolomites and enjoy some of the scenary. Perhaps do a short hike somehere...

clean off my desk 5.12b
wash the girlfriend's car 5.10a
Get a silly job 5.14
Spend less time reading SP 5.12

If you're going later in the summer the ski lifts will be running and she won't have to hike much. Plus some of the via ferrata you can do in a morning/afternoon. Gotta get that stuff in before the kids arrive...

Brush up on my glacier skills since I haven't needed to use them in over 2 years.
Mt Athabasca
Mt Victoria
Misc alpine/ice climbing in the NH Whites

A few first ascents in Sedona would be nice.

Looksa like LAST years goal was probably the most worthwhile one yet.... Congrats
