So last night we're talking with my mom on the phone as we're heading home from the Urban Arts Festival, and all of a sudden I ask them what the date is. They tell me it's the 25th, and I turned to Paul and asked if he knew what tomorrow was. He said, "Sunday?", and I start laughing when I say, yeah, but it's also our wedding anniversary -- we forgot all about it!
Fast forward to this morning, and we decide to take a bike ride and enjoy the sunshine. We end up at Point Defiance and wander around Taste of Tacoma. I see the Lodge and suggest we go by and look around. We didn't plan on it but here we were in the same place at almost the exact time we were married 12 years ago! The gazebo where we said our vows looks so different. There are tons of lovely plants all around it -- couldn't possible fit our wedding party and the guests there now. As we stood there we had a kiss and a hug, and Paul thanked me for marrying him, and I told him it was the best thing that happened to me. Yeah, I know -- really sweet at the time but retelling it now...Anyway, it has been a wonderful day. We rode to Starbucks and had a coffee. Then down to Point Defiance for a little look around. Next was a lovely ride along Ruston Way then Schuster Parkway before we turned onto Dock Street. We rode the esplanade to the Urban Arts Festival and enjoyed a little music before we took our bikes over the Bridge of Glass and rode to Merconi's for some refreshment. After our short respite we grabbed the #1 bus to our neck of the woods, and then rode over the sky bridge home.
I am beat! I'm gonna sit down with my ice packs, have a glass of wine, and then make something special for dinner. Happy Anniversary Paul!
