I am back....I was going to try and do this blog on a more regular basis but life gets in the way. I am really going to make the effort to write more. I think part of the problem is I am never sure what to talk about here. If I ramble a little or seem to not have a theme or pattern please forgive, maybe as I write more one will come.
My wife and I just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on Wednesday May 2. We both took the day off of work and had the entire day to ourselves. We started the day being lazy around the house and exchanging cards. After breakfast and coffee (for me, Sharon gave up coffee due to acid re-flux) we headed out to take a hike. We chose a trail at the Lions Den Gorge Nature Preserve in Grafton. I friend Sharon works with told us of these place and we decide to give it a try. The park is located along Lake Michigan off Hwy C. We arrived at the park at approximately 11:00 am. As we started down the trail you could hear the waves crashing along the lake shore. A short way down the trail you come to a vista overlooking the lake. Beautiful views and Sharon took a few pictures. We had a choice of trails and we chose one called the Bluff Trail. The trail follows along the bluffs over looking the lake and at one point we were able to see the Art Deco Lighthouse in Port Washington were we stayed a few weeks ago. The trail winds along in and out of trees and was very peaceful. After a short time we came to steps that lead down to the lake shore. The steps follow a creek that flows downhill and empties into Lake Michigan. We spend some time on the shore watching the waves and looking at the rocks. I found a couple of small stones that I brought back with me to remember the day. We climbed back up the steps and took another trail back to our car. We both enjoyed the hike and being out among nature. We enjoy the fact that we can drive 15-20 minutes and can be away from the city. Our next stop was lunch and what better place to have lunch that Yo Mama. Yo Mama is a frozen yogurt shop that has a variety of different flavors daily and all the toppings you can imagine. You serve yourself and then you pay by the weight. Sharon had the cake batter yogurt and I had a mix of dutch chocolate and coconut. It was delicious!! After lunch we headed home and relaxed for a little while.Okay we both fell asleep, what can I say we love to nap! We woke up, showered and got dressed for dinner. We had dinner at Mr. B's Steakhouse. I had the rib eye steak and Sharon had a filet. The meal was fabulous and the service was excellent. Since we had frozen yogurt for lunch we passed on dessert. We paid our bill and headed home to spend the last part of our day just relaxing and enjoying each others company. I am truly blessed to have found my lovely wife, she makes my life better in so many ways. I hope she had as much fun as I did on our anniversary.
Bye for now but I will be back.
