five years

Last weekend Eddy and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary.  Doesn't sound like much, but we were happy to leave our kids with Nanny and Dzia Dzia and get out of town to reflect on that weekend 5 years ago.  It was such a great weekend...and this past weekend was another great one.  We went to Bodega Bay, a sleepy little coastal town about 90 mins from where we live.  We totally lucked out with the weather, and had gorgeous sunshine.  We slept in, ate great food, took walks on the beach, took a long bike ride up the coast, and really just enjoyed spending time together.  Amazing what uninterrupted conversations are like -- we had forgotten!
We are so grateful to my parents for taking wonderful care of our kiddos, so we could truly get away and reconnect/unwind/rest.
And without little kids to take pictures of, I barely took any photos of the weekend!  Sad.  But you get the idea from these few I did take.

Eddy booked us a package deal through the hotel, "Birds of Bodega Bay".  I laughed at him, because the idea was take digital photos of up to 15 birds (from a list they gave us) and earn up to 15% off your room.  Now, we are not really bird watching kind of people.  And we didn't spend much time bird watching on this trip, but we did take an evening walk and brought the camera along for fun.  We managed to take (pretty crappy quality) photos of 6 birds, some of which may or may not have even been on that list, and then we showed them to the front desk as we checked out...and we scored $70 off our stay!  Good call Eddy, good call.
