Our Love Story

Mike and I started a tradition of celebrating our anniversary. Our 1st he planned, we went to Raleigh to Red Lobster and to a movie. Our 2nd I planned, we stayed at a B & B in Kenansville and had dinner at the Country Squire. The 3rd he planned, we went to Carolina Beach, we went on a Midnight cruise on the sound it was beautiful. Now you are getting the idea, the tradition was that we alternated from year to year who planned to celebration. The 4th I planned a trip to Ocean Isle Beach, it was a golfing vacation we played several rounds of golf at Myrtle Beach courses. Our 5th which was by far my favorte and the most romantic. Mike planned a trip to Annapolis. We stayed at a Boat and Breakfast. It was like a Bed and Breakfast accept we spent the night on a sailboat in the Cheasapeak Bay . We sailed at sunset with other passenagers then after returning to the dock everyone else left and we got to stay and sleep on the boat and wake up to a traditional sailor breakfast. (Which was not that appealing to us. Salmon, granola, yogurt and fresh fruit) Then we stopped for a few years because Brett was born a few months before our 6th. For our 9th we went on a cruise with the family. All five of us went but the Kelli and Taylor watched Brett for us while we had dinner and walked on deck. Writing this now, looking back a lot of Mike plans have been on the water. (Midnight cruise, sailing, cruise). So the 10th was mine to plan how could I top our 5th. Well, I had originally planned to go to the Outer Banks to a place where our room overlooked to ocean and we would have an in--room couples massage, chocolate covered strawberries and a hot tub. But some friends told us about Las Vegas and how much fun they had there. So, I changed our plans. Which I do not regret but Vegas was not the place for us. The best part of the trip was the helicopter trip the the Grand Canyon. It was BREATHTAKING.
