Our Fake Anniversary - Part 2

Gen and I began to get ready for our big anniversary dinner. This would be the first time in months that we hadn’t been with the kids and we were looking forward to it. Gen took an instant because she always effortlessly looks great. I took forever because I had to pluck and preen. I’ll be honest, when I am in the mountains with no mirror staring me in the face, my ear hair goes crazy. 

Once we were looking fantastic, Mary and the kids dropped us off at Nepenthe. The view was out of this world. There was the ocean on the right with waves beating against rocky cliffs stretching into the distance. Tree covered mountains to the left. We enjoyed the view from the patio while we waited for a table. Gen got the scallops while I got the Ribeye. The meal was delicious. We enjoyed our bottle of Pinot Noir from Julietta Winery. It was a fantastic evening to celebrate 10 years together (technically, 9 years 364 days). 

The kids picked us up. They had gone out for chicken fingers. They enjoyed some quality time with Gramma. To celebrate with the kids, we had a fire with marshmallows to end the night.
