Our Anniversary!


Yesterday was our 4 year wedding anniversary!!!!

We decided to go to Niagara-on-the-Lake to celebrate and stayed overnight!! This was my first night away from the kids (except when Hope was born)....and they did great!! I don't even know if they really missed us. They had so many people here to entertain them that they loved every minute of it.

We had a great time. We went up on Wednesday morning and had lunch there. Then we walked the main street and did some shopping (actually Dave did most of the shopping....not me!) Then we went to a winery and did some wine tasting. We are not big drinkers but love the ice wine there and had to pick some up for Dave's mom. It is so good...very sweet! Then we headed to our hotel to get ready for dinner.

Dinner was OK...we are so spoiled in the US. I really wanted a nice steak dinner...and do you know what they told me....go over the border to the casino..HA HA! Anyway, we went to this really cute restaurant and I had steak, but no A1 sauce...what!!?? My very loving husband ran to the convenient store next door to get me some....but it was so nasty. How can they call it A1!! Anyway, we had a great time. Then we went back to the hotel and watched a movie (another chick flick...poor guy I owe him like 5 movies already..ha ha!).

I was so excited to go to bed and not to have to worry about the kids waking up or crying or kicking me....and I COULD NOT sleep! I was up until 3am! I was exhausted today. It was crazy!

Today we went to a few antique shops they had there. Dave found this really awesome desk that they are going to deliver next week. And we found Isaiah an old Tonka metal dump truck...he loves it! Then we decided to head back and get some good food on this side of the border. Sushi...YUM!

We had an amazing time. And now I won't be so nervous leaving them next time. They did great! Thanks Mom and Dad!

You have been so good with the blog. I went on but didn't expect there to be any entry. What a great anniversary...so glad the kids did well. I forgot you got married in Hawaii in May so I didn't realize the anniversary date. Ours was May 31st...Sunday would have been our anniversary. I am glad that you both had a chance to get away...how refreshing;-) Too bad about the sleep but how great about the desk and truck!
