Jason and I just spent an amazing weekend at Sand Lake Country Inn celebrating our 5 year anniversary ... a week early. The Grammy was in town and we took advantage of the free child care and ditched her with the kids for a full 50 hours! That's a new record! It was officially the longest we have ever been away from the kids at the same time. It's pretty safe to say that we won't be waiting another 3.5 years until we do that again!
Some of you may remember that this little Inn has been a big part of our lives. This is where we were staying when Jason proposed, exactly 6.5 years ago today. We also spent our first anniversary there and a "babymoon" right before Alia was born.
On our way to our weekend getaway, we both revealed that we hadn't had time to get the other so much as a card for our anniversary and decided that a weekend away was gift enough. Out of curiosity we looked up the traditional 5th anniversary gift and found out that it was wood ... and we were staying in the Timbers Suite at the Inn ... Now is that perfect or what? We couldn't have planned it better if we tried!
On Saturday we ventured out to find "our beach" where Jason proposed
That's my handsome hubby checking out the waves.
We ordered the "togetherness basket" from our Inn keeper who puts together such an amazing spread that we had enough left over to eat for dinner too ... sparkling cider, clam chowder, baguette, cheese, smoked salmon, watermelon, potato salad, chocolate truffles!
The weather was gorgeous that afternoon! When we returned to the Inn we hung out on the hammock in the backyard ... I relaxed, Jason snored :-)
That evening we finally cracked open a bottle of amazing champagne that we received as a gift far too long ago. Pretty sure our plan was to have it on our 1st anniversary, but pregnancies and babies and such prevented it until this year ... Woo hoo!!
(Next week I'll try to remember to post some wedding flashback pictures)
