It ain't over 'til it's over...

Since our actual 12 year wedding anniversary occurred during the family camping trip, we did decide to take a little time for "just the two of us" on the Monday that we returned, postponing the workweek and reality until Tuesday.


As Collin enjoyed being reunited with his daycare friends, Doug and I enjoyed the Titanic exhibit at the Science Museum in St. Paul and the chance to linger at the various displays just like we had done in the early years of our marriage. I just don't think Collin would have found it very entertaining...the few toddlers that were present definitely did not seem impressed...In fact, I gave one of the audio remotes we had rented there to a grandmother who mistakenly thought that bringing her very young grandson was a good idea...He clearly needed something to do. We saw them again from time to time as we walked around the museum the rest of the day and I was happy to see him playing blissfully with the buttons on the remote, seeming much more content.

We could not be in St. Paul without some time on Grand Avenue, so the rest of our precious afternoon was spent with a leisurely lunch and window shopping. Dixie's on Grand provided fabulous, spicy southern style food and great drinks. The rest of Grand Avenue also gave us plenty to look at and enjoy.
A great final celebration to another great year of marriage!
