Anniversary Weekend

This year I put myself in charge of our anniversary celebration. On our actual anniversary we went out for sushi with Maya. She always makes eating fun. She does great in her high chair at restaurants. Until the food comes, that is. Then she's reaching all over the place wanting to eat everything they just brought to us. Usually we have no problem sharing, but she can't have sushi (yet).

Dinner was delicious and we had a good time.

The following Friday we left for our weekend (or one-night) getaway. I didn't tell Ryan where we were going, and I loved having that element of surprise for him.

My mom came and picked up Maya and took her home for the night. She says she was great and that they had so much fun together! I was so glad!

Ryan and I went to the Lodge at the Garden of the Gods for our night's stay.

The views were awesome!

On Saturday we had breakfast brought to our room and ate on the balcony.

We drove around Garden of the Gods. It was fun to see the places we took our bridal photos.

Then we left and went to explore downtown Colorado Springs. It was so cute! We loved walking around, and we even picked up a couple of things. We had lunch at a really cute French cafe and the food was delicious.

We really enjoyed having the time just to ourselves. We decided that the lodge was a little too fancy for our taste, but we loved the feel of the downtown area.

Love you, Ryan!
