Dave and I celebrated 20 years of marriage over Memorial Day weekend! We celebrated with a long weekend in Asheville, NC, a place we’ve never been but have heard amazing things about. We hiked, we biked, we hit an impressive number of breweries and ate, and ate, and ate. We also met up with Carl and his family, who live about 2 hours away. We met in the middle for a hike and lunch and it was so great to catch up.
Happy 20 years to the love of my life!
On December 7th we celebrated Dave and Kathy’s 50th wedding anniversary!! Talk about an amazing milestone! We had a little get together at our house with friends (old and new) and family. It was also a great opportunity to use the new kitchen!
On May 30th it’ll be Dave and my 15 year wedding anniversary! We don’t typically do much of anything for our anniversary, but this year we decided to take a short trip. We’re also both turning 40 this year, so it just feels a bit more significant all together. We decided on South Beach – we’ve both never been there, it’s a quick direct flight, and nice and warm. We had a blast! The weather was beautiful, the people are insane, and there’s great food. We enjoyed it all (although Dave will tell you it was all a bit too much for him).
It seems to be the town of selfies, so we got in the spirit ourselves.
We spent one afternoon in a neighborhood called Wynwood Walls, which was previously a blighted area and was recently (relatively) developed into a hipster/artsy neighborhood. We ate some amazing ice cream at a place called Dasher & Crank and saw some very impressive graffiti and large format art, including an exhibition of Kobra, whom I love.
And then we did what I guess you do in South Beach – lay by the pool, drink straight from a coconut, listen to amazing latin jazz, and meet ladies who juggle fire at a bar late at night.
It was a lot of fun and felt much longer than just three days (just long enough I think). The icing on the cake was getting upgraded to first class on the way home. One of the few perks of Dave’s crazy travel schedule.
For a quick blast from the past, please enjoy this! Look at those babies!
Here’s to the next 15!
