We drove downtown and surprisingly, he didn't bite anyone's head off for being a stupid driver. It took a little while but we managed to find a parking spot and went for a nice long walk from Sunset Beach to Stanley Park. I was a little overdressed for the walk, in my little black dress, with a black blazer and black shoes, but then again, there's a real cross section of people down there, including one guy we saw who was probably only 2 inches taller than me, except he had his hair teased up so high, he must've stood 5'5" to 5'6".
Here's a picture of the guy. It's hard to really tell from this picture, but his hair is quite high.Dinner ended up being at The Fish House at Stanley Park. We began with martinis, I ordered hubby a Lemon Drop (Absolut Citron Vodka, lemon liqueur, Triple Sec with a sugared rim), and I had the Lost Lagoon (a variation on Blue Lagoon). These were our substitutes for our appetizers. Maybe not the smartest alternatives, but they were tasty nonetheless. For our entrees, hubby had the Salmon Wellington, and I decided to indulge (at the server's recommendation) and had the Ahi Tuna "Diane". Both were served with roasted organic new potatoes, asparagus, two types of summer squash, (pattypan and a mashed butternut) and kale. The nice thing about finer restaurants, as I pointed out to hubby, is that the food is about quality, rather than quantity. We were both too stuffed for dessert, but since it was our anniversary, the resatuarnt provides a free dessert, so we shared the raspberry sorbet.
So for us, 13 wasn't such an unlucky number afterall.

Oh my gosh, I crashed your wedding anniversary day! I knew it was in June but didn't clue in (or remember ;-)
Happy belated by the way. 13 is a lucky number so congrats! Your wedding is one of the nicest I've been too - loved the boat cruise, great to do something different.
Sounds like you had a fun celebratory dinner - yum!
Oh man, I flaked it totally...sorry, hon! I checked the calendar last week to remind myself (you know how I've been sending a dual purpose happy anniversary, happy b-day R card), but still flaked it. Duh.
Ok, I gave you guys an early anniv gift, so will you forgive me? ;)
xoxoxo
Don't worry Bonnie, I can't say I rememeberd right on the day as well. Ron's definitely a girl in that way, he remembers our anniversary. And you didn't crash, it was great to see you.
The best part about our wedding was that it was short and sweet. :)
You didn't forget Teresa, like you said, you were early. Don't remind Ron it's his birthday, he's depressed enough as it is. We'll celebrate our anniversaries when you get here.
Well, too late. ;) Like I said, if you guys would stop celebrating his bday, I'll stop wishing him a happy one. Haha!
We didn't celebrate his bday, Neil did. yeah, that's it. ;)
