5 Year Anniversary to Remember

We’ve been looking forward to celebrating our 5 year anniversary for several months.  It was my first time away from Desmond for more than 4 hours, and though I was a bit anxious about that I was also very excited!  A 2-day vacation from being a mom for the last year!

Instead of crying like I thought I might, I felt giddy!

Appetizers: clam chowder and spinach salad, dinner: seafood trio, and dessert: ice cream and Marion berry cobbler.  We had to document this food since we paid a ridiculous amount of money for it.  Davin’s “lunar orbiter” dessert was quite the show stopper.

We saw the sun set as we had dessert.  Perfect.  Then we went up on the observation deck to take in the nighttime views.

After glorious uninterrupted sleep we spent Saturday walking around Seattle and finished the day with my first ever drive in movie.  It was so much fun!  How refreshing to be carefree for a little while.

We’re already dreaming of our next mommy and daddy get-away!

Is that the drive-in theater in Auburn?

We're thinking of doing a Seattle anniversary next year or something. Great idea! You are our trailblazers... er...

Yes, it is the theater in Auburn. It's pretty cool.
