Last weekend was our first wedding anniversary. It's been a rough year for us, still even the bad times have reminded me that I wouldn't trade our love for anything. I am also so grateful for our wedding. There were SO many times during the planning of the wedding that I literally tossed the plans on the floor, picked up my purse and said "That's it, let's go to Vegas." I am so grateful we didn't.
Now, for all time we have that one perfect day as a representation of our love. Perfect weather, perfect location, perfect pictures, even perfect snafus.

| I love you, Gavin! |
As a wedding gift from some very special friends, we received a first anniversary romantic get away to Big Sur. So last weekend, we packed up the the car and headed to Post Ranch Inn!
Not long after we started dating, Gavin and I drove his car from Illinois to California. It was a fun trip. We talked, sang, laughed, and shared our life stories. This drive equally enchanting (okay, the last hour on the way home was a bit daunting, but other than that amazing).
The hotel was gorgeous, inside and out. Even the bathtub had an awesome ocean view!
How do you leave?
So we mostly hung around the property. We watched the animals, hiked and even saw a deer!
It was pretty funny actually. We were walking along this trail and I saw a deer very close to us. We were standing there looking at each other for so long that we figured out it was fake. Just as I was feeling embarrassed for being duped, it turned it's head walked away. When we turned the next corner on the trail, it was standing there looking at us again! It was so beautiful. I was half convinced it was animatronic. I'm too Disney, I guess.
Overall, it was a fantastic weekend of nice Champagne, bird watching, relaxing and mostly remembering and celebrating the most important thing in my life, my husband.
Happy Anniversary, Gavin.
That does look sweet! Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that hotel seems awesome, and the story of the deer (and the pictures) is great. Happy anniversary.
