Mike surprised me with so much on Saturday. We got on the ferry over to Kingston to drop Kyrsten off with the Grandparents Dan and Patty. While we waited we got out and took Kyrsten to the water. She got a Sea Shell that she wouldn't put down and she got to see her first train. Mike was so cute he would cover up her ears when the train would blow it's horn.
She loved being on the ferry like usual. We took her outside and it was cute watching her facial expressions in the wind!
After we dropped Kyrsten off with Dan and Patty for the first time over night (which wasn't as bad as I had imagined it in my head) Mike drove out to Fat Smitty's Burgers. He had me fooled by telling me we were going to McDonalds for lunch. Let me tell you I wasn't all that thrilled when he said that. But when we pulled into Fat Smitty's it was a pleasant surprise.
That was one of the coolest places I have been to. I loved all the dollar bills hung everywhere. It was amazing! The food was fantastic too! The burger was just about as big as my head! I had to squish it down just so that I could fit some of it into my mouth. I only ate half of it though. It was just too much!
Mike and I met this really great family from New Hampshire that sat next to us. We told them about a few places to go and visit on this side of teh water (of course without revealing where Mike was taking me, but later when I went to the restroom he told them) and then we just chatted for a bit.
Just before we left we hung up a dolar billed signed by us. I kept saying to Mike that I have to bring my mom and stepdad here they would love it!! There was a lot of Marine stuff everywhere. It was a great way to start the adventure.
After Fort Warden he took me to a Light house as well. It was beautiful!
Just when I thought we were done Mike took me to Chetzemoka Park. It was stunning and it wasn't even summer yet. It's a great place to have a wedding! There was a birthday party going on there and a couple laying in the grass. There were so many beautiful flowers!
Mike got a couple a great pictures of me swinging on a tire swing. It was so relaxing and fun! I felt like a kid.
After all that he took me to where we were staying. Now mind you this whole time he has been telling me that we were going camping. I thought it was pretty supicious when we didn't even have any "Camping Gear"!
He asked me if I wanted to just buy some food to cook over the open fire and I went along with it. We got steak, prawns, red potatoes, broccolli, and ice cream for desert. We did all of this shopping before we got to where we were staying.
When we got to the building in downtown Port Townsend I was stunned! It was so cool! We stayed at the old Clam Cannery Hotel! The room was amazing! From the outside you would never think it was as beautiful inside but that is part of what makes it so breath taking. We stayed right on the water and you could hear the waves hitting the rocks and see the birds flying up above.
So when we were finished cooking our food we were able to eat seaside! We were even able to do the same for breakfast. We watched a movie from netflix on the huge screen and just relaxed. It was so weird not having Kyrsten around. We kept having that feeling of "I feel like I should be doing something." It was so nice to have a glimpse of the "Before Children" (even though we both missed Special "K").
I had so much fun! This anniversary is on the top right next to our first when we went to Disney world.
Thank you Mike for a great weekend (thanks to Dan and Patty for taking care of Kyrsten and G-ma Yvonne for watching Lola)!!
