Eleven Years
On the way here I commented on how overcast it seemed.  In the past few
weeks we've had some amazing sunsets...so it seemed sad that when we
were actually going some place to view the sunset, it wouldn't be there.

Boy was I wrong!!!

We had a wonderful time at the lighthouse.  This is the first time that the
paths have been open since our first date eleven years ago.  
Odd, rather large bird, that appeared in the fountain/pond outside
the restaurant.  I don't think it's a seagull.  Weird.
Ted noticed this fireplace in the lobby of the restaurant.  It's gas
lit...and the floor is glass shards.  This is the coolest fireplace I
think I've ever seen.  The flames just danced across the glass.  
The view from the parking lot as we left...breathtaking.
From the outside path between the trees...it just kept getting prettier.
As we were leaving
This was the view behind us...away from the sunset.  The sky
everywhere was pink and purple.
After the sunset...wow.
What a sunset...spectacular!
Seconds left in the sunset.
Our lighthouse
From there we went to Port's O Call for dinner and, as always, it was fantastic!  We started out with crab stuffed mushrooms in
hollandaise.  Then, Ted had the produce bar and I had clam chowder, which was more of a clam bisque it was so rich.  We both had the
shrimp scampi with jasmine rice and for dessert...I had creme brule (I know, no surprise) and Ted had this chocolate thing...chocolate
and nuts on the outside and marshmallow and nuts on the inside.

Eleven years...wow.  We are SO blessed!!!

Love you both!!!
My honey and our lighthouse...He's so cute!
