We arrived home from all the wedding festivities on the 16th and then it was our anniversary on the 22nd. We were tired and monetarily empty, so we didn't plan a big celebration. We were also babysitting the "Grandpuppy" while Eaglet and the wife were on their honeymoon, which was to Thailand by the way (lucky kids). But..........
Manly surprised me with a spa retreat! We went to a lodge/spa for 3 days and just relaxed. We had a wine/beer reception each night in the main lodge and then had our own adorable cabin!
We had a step down spa tub, large flat screen TV, fireplace, a shower the whole family could have fit in and a kitchenette for the wine :-) We were given a basket with champagne, glasses, chocolates and a fuzzy warm blanket. It opened up to the National Forest out back of the lodge and we loved it. Manly thought we could move in and just be hosts for the lodge. There was also a beautiful flower arrangement from my parents. The package came with movie tickets, free appetizers, and dessert at the restaurant.
We have been running to get in shape and decided to go for a run one morning. Well, we didn't take into account the heat and altitude change, we just couldn't do it. But we figured we would make it a hike since there were so many great trails. Bad idea! We go so lost. We were gone 3 1/2 hours and had to climb fences and gates and even ran into a horse graveyard :-(. We luckily found our way out and didn't even fight, but we were just in time for our couples massage. The hot tub felt wonderful on our sore muscles, but the massage........Poor Manly was having his first massage and it HURT!
We got a chance to relax and be together, that was worth the whole trip.
Happy Anniversary Manly and I love you as much now as I did then. It's still the butterflies in the tummy kind of thing :-)
