Sometimes making a plan is over rated. With the help of a friend who works in the hotel industry, I planned a little in-town wedding anniversary get-away, but we actually spent only one full day together. Part of the problems was that our anniversary was on a Thursday. That means two more week days to make phone calls, check on projects, employees, building permits, and so on. My husband also arranged to have the tile guys re-do the tile in the kid's bathroom. He didn't realize that he had planned the tile guys the same week as our anniversary. No, my husband doesn't carry a calender. He arranged for the tile guys to be at our house in two weekends, and never thought to check a calender to see when two weekends would be. Consequently, he had to go back home a few times to drop off supplies, pay the tile guys and check the work.
Next year we're getting out of town.
I also took some pictures, BUT my husband has that camera at work. I did have my camera on me, but didn't have it with me the whole time. Here's a few shots from my camera:
At dinner, we're feeling rather relaxed after a couple of cocktails. This is the only picture I have with that dress I mentioned in a previous post.
Back at the hotel, they have an outdoor beach bar on the second floor. Even though we were a little cold, we sat and watched the full moon rise over the hotel building.
While walking to the downtown credit union, we passed by a Toys For Tots toy drive, and Howie Mandel was the celebrity draw for the event. I asked my husband if he wanted a picture of Howie Mandel. He said he didn't, so I took a photo of this Christmas tree at Horton Plaza instead.
While downtown, I guesstimate that we put in about four miles of walking each day. We walked everywhere.
More photos to come...
Last Wednesday's song:
I'll Be Home For Christmas - Bing Crosby, and many others - Baribe2be

hey, i am getting new tile in my shower next week! great minds think alike i guess. :)
Isn't it great when your husband is more like a boyfriend than a husband? Happy anniversary. You two make marriage look really cool!
You both look happy, so even with the domestic interruptions, it sounds like the impromptu "staycation" was a big success. Happy Anniversary!
You both look so smiley in your pic. Why don't men carry calendars?? Sorry you had some interruptions but it does sound like you had a generally nice evening.
Happy Anniversary.
i heard the song last night by Mariah Carey.

Happy Anniversary. You both look fabulous!
(BTW...going out of town is a great idea!)

Great tree...and it's in front of my favorite store! :)
Happy Belated Anniversary! Sorry to hear about the interruptions, but it sounds like you still had a good time. LOVE the pic of the two of you. So cute!
Katie,
Winner! And thanks. :)
Barbie2be,
Winner! Thanks (on the anniversary). This version is the one stuck in my head right now. Yeah, I've heard that about Howie.
Leslie,
Thanks. Cool? Thanks. :)
Anne,
After a couple of cocktails, everything is forgotten. :) Thanks.
Shosh,
Thanks. My guy NEVER carries a calender. He really needs a personal assistant, but then that's another salary the office can't afford right now. Ah well. He does come through.
Deene,
Winner! Thanks. :)
AKA Alice,
Thanks!!!
Simply Pink,

Evelyne,
