Celebrating One Year of Married Bliss!

This past weekend, Pete and I celebrated one year of marriage. Since we are in Virginia for the summer while Pete works, our choices of vacations was pretty slim. We chose to stay the weekend in Virginia Beach. Pete was in such a good mood, he agreed to stop at a mall and go shopping with me. WoW! Of course part of the reason was because he forgot all his dress clothes at home in California and had nothing to wear to Robin and Brad's wedding that is coming up next weekend. He did more shopping than I did for once.

When we drove into the city the weather was beautiful and sunny. Two hours later after we had checked in, there was a tornado watch and a huge thunder and lightning storm! Pete made the hotel reservations and had some cute surprises, like my favorite champagne and chocolates and rose petals scattered, seriously, everywhere! Very good touch, good job hubby! We went out to dinner right on the water that night. That restaurant had the best crab I've ever had in my life! The next day we did some walking around the boardwalk and then stopped to eat in a sushi bar before heading home. Wish the weather would have cooperated so that the beach would have been enjoyable.

On Monday when we came home we decided to try to go and grab some Thai food, we both love it. But... we got there and it was closed. So we found another option. Before dinner we went through some of our wedding pictures and remembered the day together.
