8th Anniversary

On June 29 this year Ben and I celebrated our eight wedding anniversary, can you believe it?? For our anniversary Ben and I left the city for a few days and went down to The Cliff House in Manitou Springs to play. On our first night we had dinner at a local place, did a little window shopping and then decided to go up to the Cave of the Winds and take a tour. The tour we took was their Eco friendly one and they turn off all the lights inside the cave and you go through with just a flashlight. It was interesting to see a different perspective of the cave and since there was only one other couple with us, our tour guide was extra funny.

On Saturday morning since it was cool we took a beautiful drive up the Pikes Peak highway to the top of the mountain. It is a beautiful drive and when you reach the top it is so worth it and your view just goes on for miles and miles. Once back in town we enjoyed some pizza at Marilyn's Place and then we were off to go hike the seven falls just as it started raining so we drove through the Garden of the Gods instead. It was interesting to see all the different rock formations.

We had plans to have dinner Saturday night at The Cliff House dinning room but we were pretty tuckered out so we opted for room service and it was wonderful. It is always fun to be waited on, eat in bed, have someone else clean up the mess and the food was amazing. We returned home on Sunday relaxed, refreshed and ready for the next exciting adventure.

It has been a wonderful eight years and I wouldn't want anyone else by my side. While we have had our ups and downs like everybody else there is no one else I could imagine going through all of it with and I know that we can overcome anything that comes our way. I Love You Ben!!
