Taking time to celebrate Valentine's

Mark and I have a tradition that instead of exchanging gifts, we do a super-date for Valentine's, our birthdays, our anniversary and Christmastime. We were able to get away last night with a little help from Grandma who stayed with our children. First on the agenda was dinner at our favorite restaurant Elements.

Then we checked into the Anniversary Inn.

This place is amazing, there are over 30 different themed rooms, the one we had was a drive-in movie. We had a huge movie screen, bucket of popcorn, sodas on ice, along with a big red truck with a very comfy bed in the back.

In each room there is a journal, so that couples can write about thier stay. I kept a copy of what I wrote; "My husband has terminal cancer and only has months to live. We've had an incredible 21 years together full of adventures. We've cruised the caribbean, hiked Yosemite, enjoyed the view of Niagra Falls, and soaked in the sun in Hawai'i. Still, our several adventures at the Anniversary Inn are just as *magical*! Thank you for helping us to continue to create memories. We've had deep talks, lots of laughs and extraordinary love here. ~M & L
