Catching Up: 2nd Anniversary!

For our 2nd Anniversary ~ Oct 1! ~ we had a fun little stay-cation for a night in Newport Beach!

I can't believe it's been 2 years ~ everyone always says this but time really does fly. We love being married to each other and have had so much fun over the past 24 months!

A little reminder of 10.01.06:


It was a super busy time for me at work and I knew that we needed to get out of the house to be able to really relax and enjoy a little anniversary celebration so we pricelined for a 4-star hotel at the beach and got (don't hold your breath) the Hyatt Newporter. I think it has seen better days, like probably in the late 70's, but it was still fun to get to spend time down at the beach (we're so close and rarely actually go down there just for fun) and with each other!

We started with an afternoon at Crystal Cove ~




Followed by a jaunt to the Shake Shack (not to be confused with this) on PCH that I've never actually been to before:


We checked into our hotel (and got upgraded to a suite ~ that never happens to us!) and got ready for our dinner reservation at the Cannery ~ a restaurant from the list that I've been wanting to try.


We had a really fun evening ~ we both loved the building and atmosphere! The food was pretty good but it was late on a Sunday evening so there were only a few other patrons. (*Sidenote ~ I left my hairbrush at home so I decided to try to go for the natural wavy look ~ I think it ended up more like the you forgot to brush your hair look ~ oh well, I tried!).


Because it was our first time in, they gave us a free dessert ~ the Balboa Sundae was incredible! AND, it gets better! I told the waiter we were debating between the Sundae and the chocolate cake and so he brought them both! Wow! I'm such a sucker for chocolate!


The next morning, we woke up and headed over for a stroll through Fashion Island and finished with my favorite Cobb Salad at The Daily Grill!

It was so great to get away (I only checked email on my phone once the whole time!) and celebrate and spend time together!

Can't wait to see what year #3 holds in store for us!
