Anniversary Weekend!

Our first anniversary will always be very memorable! Stuart planned the main event and some things went as he wanted... and some didn't :) It was all a surprise though and so I was so excited regardless of what we were doing!

Stuart made me french toast for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! I was amazed, he has never made it for me. Good thing I found out a year into our marriage because I have decided it's going to be a family tradition now!

Right before we are leaving...

So the surprise destination was...ANNAPOLIS! Stuart and I had been wanting to go here. It sits right on the water and has a bunch of old homes and cool antique stores! So I was pretty excited when I learned that we would be spending the whole day and night here.

We stayed at this Bed and Breakfast called the Gateway. It was very cute and quaint! However, there was no way Stuart would have known though that the people that owned this particular Bed and Breakfast were not your usual B&B people haha. The description of this place online makes it sound like an angelic dream sitting on the water. The innkeepers had very "interesting" jokes, humor, and stories that they talked about over breakfast, just a little bit awkward for us. Poor Stuart felt terrible, but it is something that we can laugh and joke about now! And breakfast was really yummy so it all evens out!

These are the flowers that were waiting for me in our room from Stuart! So beautiful :)

Then we walked around all of the shops and the harbor for the day

For dinner we went to the Melting Pot!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it..it was divine! They had this petite summer fondue special that we decided to do. We were a little worried that we would walk way unfilled...boy were we wrong! We were stuffed! It was such a good deal

we ate all that and even got more to dip in our oreo cookie fondue mix

At night we walked around the harbor and it was sooo nice. We loved being by the water and just talking about our lives and how crazy it is that its already been a year!

The next morning we walked around the naval academy and sat by a bench looking over the harbor for a long time. We could sit by the ocean for hours, we love it!

On Sunday it was my turn to do a little something nice. So I made a penne pasta dish, french bread, and fruit! I must say it was definitely anniversary worthy! Then we watched a movie and had banana chocolate cake for dessert, Stuart's favorite!

All in all our anniversary weekend was wonderful!! It was just so nice to look back on our wedding day and see how far we have come. We feel so incredibly blessed to have found one another and be given all that we have. We have had our ups and downs but we would not change a thing! Lots of people made us nervous for the first year of marriage but it has just been the best! Can't wait for the adventures that Year 2 brings!!
