Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

Chris and I went to Niagara Falls last weekend to celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary on November 13.

Some highlights that are appropriate for this blog:

(there are some things that no one else needs to know about)

*The drive that usually takes 3 hours took 4 hours on the way there and 4 ½ hours on the way home. Not to say that Squirt is to blame, but I’ve never needed to make so many rest stops on a roadtrip before…I’ll let you draw your own conclusion about why it took so long.

*Squirt is our lucky charm. We went to the casino and won enough money on nickel slots that our vacation was completely free. I have NEVER won money at the casino before. We still need to check the lottery tickets that we bought with Squirt while we were in Canada…

*We stayed in a beautiful hotel room in a great location and enjoyed a spectacular view, but it was surprisingly cheap. We were very scared when we saw the hotel lobby, parking garage, and elevator, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room had been remodeled only two years ago and everything was spotlessly clean. The hotel was right next to the Skylon Tower and across the street from the new casino, and the parking was free! We’ll be returning to that hotel with the kids sometime, so Squirt will actually be able to see it someday!

*Squirt does not like Chinese food or Indian food. Great learning experience for me.

*We visited the Niagara Parks greenhouse again, just like we did for our honeymoon, and we spent at least two hours there taking pictures.

*There was a holiday light display in the Niagara Parks.

*I was incredibly happy just to be alone with Chris and the weekend was over too quickly.
