One Year Later…
posted in Friends, Family, Et Al., Trips |We capped off a wonderful year of marriage with a wonderful weekend in San Diego. We decided to celebrate our anniversary the same way we started our marriage – surrounded by friends – so T and I drove down to SD on Saturday to meet up with one of my best friends, J, and her boyfriend, K, who were flying in from San Jose. Actually, we kind of hijacked their planned trip and turned it into our one year anniversary celebration. =)
T and I exchanged gifts on Friday, before heading out to SD. I’d been adamant that I didn’t want to exchange gifts (my family’s never been much into the gift exchanges and I couldn’t think of anything to get). However, at the last minute, I thought it’d be cute to make T a coupon book, with coupons in it for things like home-cooked meals and my attendance at sports events. Good thing I thought to do something since T, as usual, managed to surprise me with a romantic candle-lite dinner when I got home from work on Friday! It was perfect, and harkened back to his proposal. Best. Husband. Ever.
On Saturday, we headed down to San Diego and spent most of the day at the San Diego Zoo, which I loved. Zoos usually make me a little sad, but the SD Zoo is pretty spacious and the animals didn’t look at miserable at they do at other zoos. Saturday night, we met up with J and K for dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack and then went out for a fun night on the town. J and K surprised us with a lovely bottle of champagn to celebrate our anniversary. Best. Friends. Ever.
Sunday, we met up again with them for brunch and then walked along the harbor and explored Seaport Village before heading back home (with a quick visits to T’s cousins in San Clemente on the way). The weather was perfect the entire weekend. Sunny with a nice breeze. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our first anniversary. Same time next year guys? =)
