5 Year Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary. After a fun Saturday with Connor doing errands and things around the house, we hired a sitter and enjoyed a dinner date out at George's Ocean Terrace. It was a beautiful afternoon - low 70's and sunny with a picture-perfect sunset view from our table. Here we are with Connor and Kiki before leaving the house (pic taken by sitter Debbie):


At our table enjoying cocktails and the honey-gold sunset view:


About to dig into skirt steak with spinach, roasted garlic & onion rings (Dylan) and mahi mahi with artichokes, pancetta, arugula and shitake mushrooms (Dana):


We told our server we weren't in a hurry and between pre-dinner drinks, shrimp cocktail, salads, the beautiful entrees pictures above and then lattes and a complimentary dessert with a candle (George's anniversary gift to us!), we managed to spend more than two and half hours at the restaurant relaxing, chatting and enjoying ourselves. Next it was off to the wedding site for a moonlit stroll through the tiny park that we marvel at every year for being "perfect for us". It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I could feel so much. The salty sea breeze was fragrant, the waves were crashing, rosemary and lavender were in full bloom, and our love for each other was just as vibrant.
