Anniversary Notes

This year Ken and I were able to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. To some this might seem like a long time, but I must say I can hardly believe that 1- I am old enough to have been married this long and 2-it seems like just yesterday when we began this adventure. I feel blessed everyday that I am married to my best friend, a man who is honorable, loyal, kind, giving, understanding, humorous, and most importantly patient. Being married to a history buff makes it easy to answer the yearly question...What should we do for our anniversary? I am not so big on buying things; I would rather do something meaningful together. Living in such a historical area provides ample opportunity to fulfill Ken's thirst for historical knowledge. This year we went to Mount Vernon, President George Washington's estate. It is a beautiful mansion with numerous outbuildings and an amazing museum that illustrates his life and times. We went on a short cruise of the Potomac River, explored the estate and enjoyed each other’s company. While I will keep hoping for that elusive cruise to the Bahamas or an extended trip to Ireland, this was a fabulous day and I look forward to the next 22 (or more) years of marriage.
