Is there a better place to spend an anniversary than on an island? I'm not sure there is :D haha. It was a great day and a beautiful night spent together. We were able to go out for dinner alone to a really nice restaurant called Don Derros at the Grand Hyatt there in Poipu. We sat out on the patio and had a gorgeous view. The weather couldn't have been better. The food was excellent as well. It was a nice night to enjoy one another and actually have a conversation at the table together. That doesn't happen very often with 4 young children. We couldn't believe that we were actually alone on a date. We don't get out much on our own. To be honest, we haven't been out on a date alone since before we moved up here (almost 2 years) It's pretty bad, I know.
During the day we went snorkeling...(my first time ever to snorkel). It was pretty neat to be so close to all of the fish. Scott, Todd's brother, and his son Jake and Mitch all went out with us too. I was a bit chicken to head straight out into the ocean and so eased myself out there by walking out the sand bar and then getting in. The water is so warm! I was loving it since the water up here on the central coast never gets above 55 degrees. Scott then took the boys back in to shore and told us just to enjoy ourselves and relax. That was really nice and so we stayed out a bit longer and took it all in. It was fun and I will definitely snorkel again. Thanks Todd for convincing me to go for it. I am writing as if he is going to read this. He doesn't read it. Oh well, for my own thoughts. Here are some pictures of the fish that we took with the underwater camera. It was fun and really amazing to be with so many fish all around. They just come swarming when you open the bag of food. Pretty cool!
I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband who is faithful and loyal to his family. He is a great dad and would do anything for us. He is a great example to me and to our children. He is a good example to many around him. He is so patient. I don't know how he does it. He is very easy to be around and likes to have fun. I am so happy and blessed to be married to one I can call my best friend. Thanks Todd for so many fun years together. We have so MANY memories together and I love to remenisce about all of them. Here's a few.....
Lake Tahoe, late nights playing Nintendo, Tuesday night Forensic/pizza night, Cabos every Friday night for years, 4 beautiful children, San Francisco, Hawaii vacations, Blue Lantern Inn, Joshua Tree, Vegas, our wedding day, late night del Taco runs, It's a Deli, USC football games.....and the list goes on and on.
I am happy to have spent our anniversary in a beautiful place. Love you Todd forever!!
