10 years and counting!!

We celebrated our 10th Anniversary on Jan.15--it's really hard to believe it has been that long already! It has gone by much to quickly, but what an amazing 10 years they have been! We celebrated by going to dinner at El Gaucho that night and then the following weekend we left the boys with grandma and grandpa and spent 2 nights up at the Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie--we had an amazing time!




Our dinner at El Gaucho--amazing! Steak and Lobster--wow! And that's pretty significant coming from me--usually a non seafood/ beef eater :)

We were treated like royalty!



We had brunch at one of the restaurants in the hotel on the first morning--what an experience! We had the most secluded, romantic table that overlooked the falls. Then, the breakfast was absolutely amazing--it was seriously 5 different courses. Let me just say we were soooo stuffed for the rest of the day but it was definitely worth it!

Anniversary Trip Part 2

Our first time ever skiing together
Shawn getting ready to hit the slopes!



Yes, me on skis and I'm not on the ground! :)
I must say I am very proud of myself. I know some may not believe it but I actually did a lot better than I (or Shawn) expected! I didn't fall once for the first few hours...then we stopped for dinner and things got a little icy and well....there were some issues after that, but for the most part it went well!







Snoqualmie Falls--this was right outside our hotel.





On our last day, after we got a couples massage and spent some time at the spa we went to Northbend and hit the outlets-- preceeded by a wonderful lunch and trip to Starbucks--I'm a happy, relaxed girl here!
All in all we had an excellent time, made lots of memories, and our kids did great without us----hopefully there will be more of these little getaways in the future! :)
