Happy 18th Anniversary

For our anniversary we decided to take a trip to the San Juan islands.

  21 years ago a week before Kyle left on his mission. He surprised me with a date. He took me on an small airplane  Orcas Island. We rented bikes and rode awhile and ended up on the beach enjoying  the sun. We then ate at a restaurant for lunch and then flew home. It was a fun adventure and an amazing date.

So Kyle decided we needed to go back. This time we started on Thursday and camped at deception point state park on Whidbey Island. The next morning we woke up and caught the 10:50 boat from Anacortes to Friday Harbor on San Juan island. We had a nice Ferry Ride.

We then headed to the little cottage on a 15 acre farm. It was so nice and fun. They had the sweetest dogs. They love it when you bring your dog. It was just the two of us this time...

We then checked out San Juan island.  We first walked the streets and looked at many cute shops. We were then told of 2 lighthouses and some old forts. So we decided to check them out.

We first drove down to American Fort. There was a visitors center there where we learned about the pig war.

14 Years and Counting!

Early 12th Anniversary Trip

 

We decided to take our Anniversary trip early this year because the baby is due in April and we thought going at the end of March, I would be just too uncomfortable. So it took us awhile to decide on the place and how long we would go. We finally ended up going to Victoria, BC. We have been there before but never by ourselves. My sister works at a hotel and was able to get us a friends and family discount for us. We were about 2 blocks from the main road. When we first got off the ferry we started walking in the cold and the wind and I thought we were not going to make it since we weren't sure how far the hotel was away. So we took a taxi and it ended up going 2 blocks away and charged us 5.00. After that I was determined to walk every where. I didn't think to bring gloves and a hat and I was freezing. So we bought some they defiantly were not that attractive but they sure did the job. We went to some pretty awesome places to eat, our favorite was eating at an Irish place where they had live Irish singers. The food was great too. On our way back to the hotel we had to stop by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory they have the best Carmel Apples.(We usually buy them at Whistler every year) It was so Yummy!!!

When we decided that we were going to be going to Victoria I asked Kyle if we could eat at the Royal Empress Hotel. We had decided that we wanted to eat there for lunch on Saturday. So we dressed up a little nicer then jeans. When we finally went there we found out you needed an reservation. We hadn't even thought about needing a reservation. The only opening was for the next day after the time of our ferry leaving. I was a little disappointed but it was my fault I didn't think about reservations. So we walked around the hotel it was lovely. It was also Valentines Day! So if you ever want to eat at the Empress make sure to make reservations a couple days in advance.

We decided to check out the Parliament building. When we went there they were closed. We found out there was going to be a protest march coming soon. So we decided to stay and watch. It was a Native American Group trying to bring attention to the fact that women are being taken from there tribes every year and our never found. Lost women ranging from now and back 20 years totaling 500.

I was ready to take a break so we headed back to the hotel. We decided to stop at the restaurant under our hotel. We ordered our food to go and ate in our hotel and rested awhile. It was so nice to just relax reading and napping. We went to dinner later that night. The next day went to breakfast and then headed our way back to the ferry. We had a wonderful time. I would do it again but next time not being so pregnant. That was hardest part I think.

Happy 11th Anniversary

Today was our 11th Anniversary we decided to go out to eat at Anthony's Restaurant. It is a really nice place in Bremerton by the Ferry. I think you should all go there. Just to warn you they mostly have seafood. The Halibut is wonderful. So if you ever have a little money to spare and want a nice seafood place to go to, Anthony's is the place. Our trip to California was our Anniversary trip this year. We try and go away for a couple of days at least every year. We sometimes have a baby with us. It is always fun anyway.
