Anniversary Memories

Steve made reservations for our anniversary next month on the Queen Mary, moored in Long Beach and converted into a luxury hotel. I'm so excited - both for the trip and for the time with the adorable man that I married!

Other fun anniversary memories: 

The Empress Hotel in Victoria when we put on our luxury robes and acted all sophisticated on our way to the spa and accidently exited into the lobby instead. We turned around and madly punched the elevator button but it had already taken off - it was hard to maintain the sophisticated air after that, especially when we started giggling. 

Another favorite one is at Semiahmoo Resort - Steve ordered room service for breakfast. When the young man arrived with the tray, Steve said just put it there on the table. Turns out there was a pair of plastic hand cuffs with a note from me, something about being my love slave for the weekend that the poor fellow tried to scoot over with the tray. Turns out it was his first day on the job. I'm sure he is a seasoned veteran by now. We laughed about that one a lot! Fun times!
