Exactly one week ago, David and I celebrated 4 years of marriage. I wanted so badly to post something the day of, but I figured spending time with him was more important than talking about him on my blog. . So, you get to hear about it now :)
We had a WONDERFUL (all caps) weekend! All I wanted was to get away over night. I just wanted to have a room with just him and I. We agreed to skip the gift giving part and put that money towards a memorable weekend away.
Excited to rediscover us :)
We stayed at the Courtyard Marriot in Kirkland. (it was about a 20 minute drive, but it was perfect)
We checked into the hotel and about a minute later, my stomach was growling. Luckily Olive Garden was literally right across the street. So, we ran over there and shared a delicious dinner.
Afterword, we came back to the hotel for some swimming and relaxing time. It was so nice to not have a schedule and just do whatever we felt like.
That same night, we had tickets to see Avitar in IMAX 3D in Seattle. The show started at 10:45 pm and it was sold out! We reserved our tickets online the weekend before. That was the only time open. Crazy! We didn't have a schedule. So, we said why not? We can sleep in :)
It was a great movie. Even if it wasn't, it was just so nice to sit there and hold hands with no distractions.
The next morning, we woke up and went down to the lobby to find a breakfast buffet unlike anything I've ever had. David said "now this is my kind of vacation". I agree.
After we checkout out, we headed a mile down the road to the Kirkland waterfront. It was a little chilly, but it was so peaceful and beautiful.
Thank you self timer :)
Later on that day, we went to Seattle to see the Ballard Locks. By that time, the sun was shining and it was a gorgeous day! This is where the ships come in from the ocean and they raise the water level to let them cross into Lake Washington. It was pretty amazing how fast they can fill it up. Pretty neat learning experience.
David is standing my the dam at the locks.
Proof that we were there. haha
I can't say enough, how wonderful it was to just enjoy us.
Here's to year 5!
