The Stuff of Memories...

Jon and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary this weekend.  Jon planned this year and it was FABULOUS!  3 days... 3 nights... Annapolis, MD.  Who knew there was so much to see and do?  I photographed the highlights with my handy-dandy iPod.  Though most of the shots would mean little to anyone else... for me, it's the stuff that memories are made of.

Friday we pretty well traveled in silence.  It's amazing how after 28 years, silence can be a memory.  But sometimes we just need to be quiet.  We went to downtown Annapolis and just walked and planned.  We had dinner at Middleton Tavern - wouldn't suggest it - a little pricey for food quality.  But the music was good and the atmosphere was cozy.

Saturday we spent the day shopping and people watching...

 ...these were the most obedient children at the dock.  That's Alex Haley's foot on the left.
Then Jon had booked us a 2-hour tour on a schooner.  Uh... huh... a sailboat.  Yes... still have a fear of water, but this was SOOOOO  FUUNNNNNN!!  In case you don't believe I actually got on the boat...
That's my feet next to Jon's ON THE SAILBOAT.  This is the view below me....

This is the view above me...
                                                                   This is the view around me...  

Told ya I went sailing...



Jon "captained" for a bit...  it was quite impressive... and manly...  that's one good lookin' man...
Yup... fun.  (And yes, for those of you who haven't seen me in awhile... that's me with the short, brown hair.  Tis an experiment...)Sunday, our actual anniversary, we went to an Irish festival.... this is just a taste of the "oh my" moments...




then we had dinner at Pei Wei and went to a local theater to see Moonlight and Magnolias.  It was delightful.  


I topped the night off with a celebratory Ice Wine, Ho Hos, and fortune cookies...

Sometimes the cookies get it right...

Can you believe it?

Looking forward to the next 28 years with this guy God has given me.  What a gift... Jon and the stuff of memories with him.
