Anniversary Celebrations

Larry and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary this weekend. We had an awesome "date night", thanks to the babysitting services of my sister-in-love Mary. We started our evening off trying a new sushi hot spot in El Dorado Hills called Sky Sushi. It was lovely - the food was excellent, the atmosphere beautiful, and the company divine. If we had one complaint it was that their menu was a little overpriced, but the presentation of the food made up for that as they dishes up their goodies just beautifully.

After dinner we took a motorcycle ride into Old Sac and took in the tale end of Gold Days - a reenactment of how it used to be during the Gold Rush period including costumed entertainers, fiddle music, canvas tents that represented mercantiles, saloons, and churches. It was all very impressive. I think next year we'll make a point of taking Joey to check it all out and to learn a little of California's history. We even tried some sarsaparilla and honey root beer. Both were delicious.

After our short walk about town we got back on the bike and headed to 10 & R Streets to catch the play - Six Women with Brain Death. It is the longest running play in Sacramento and was just hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet you need to make a point of it, and quick since it will only be in production for the next four weeks. I was afraid it would be to "girly" for Larry but he was cracking up right next to me. Plus how can you beat two hours of entertainment for just $17. Just fabulous.

When the play concluded we headed off for Rick's Dessert Cafe - thanks to Bonnie and Larry who were treating us to dessert in celebration of our anniversary. Ricks is famous here in Sacramento for his desserts, which is the only thing on the menu besides coffee, tea and other various beverages. He offers 258 different treats, and based on what we tried, all very delectable. Larry chose Key Lime pie and I had German Chocolate Cake. YUMMY.

After dessert we headed towards home, and our beautiful son - who was sleeping so peacefully in bed with Aunt Mary that I hated to wake him.

It was a wonderful evening, and so far it's been a pretty wonderful marriage. I love my husband, and am so blessed that he loves me right back.
