Anniversary Part 2

I just realized I will be posting our anniversary celebrations in reverse order--but oh well, who is lucky enough to have 2 anniversary celebrations anyways?

We stayed at the beautiful, beautiful Ashley Inn in Cascade and it was wonderful. It was a quick 24-hour getaway but that is the best sometimes. The weather was awesome, the food, our hotel, and everything we did was really great. What a fun little trip.

I'll spare you the details but loved the pics: I am making a face on purpose, by the way. Sometimes I want to shout, PUT AWAY THE CAMERA ALREADY! But I don't and instead I do this, which is probably worse.

We biked 6 miles right along the coast of Cascade Lake, and it was so beautiful. It was too cold for boaters to be out (besides fishers) so the water was so peaceful and clear. It was good to get some exercise from the ginormous breakfast we had eaten. Although as you can see right here I was wondering when and if the ride would ever be over. :)

We did discover a cool new place--Gold Fork hotsprings. If you haven't been there you really should go! It's just north of Cascade on the way to Donnelly and McCall, about 6 miles off the highway. We had heard about it but were NOT expecting it to be so nice! It is a huge natural hotsprings pool that they have completely redone and it was great. We were there during the afternoon, but I think going at night would be so fun too! So you really have to stop by sometime when you're up there, Idahoans!

Can I just say how much I love my husband! He is the #1 guy in the world to me. I love that we can spend a whole weekend together just the 2 of us and never run out of things to talk about or things to laugh at. I don't think I can find enough words to explain how much he means to me! The last 3 years of my life feel like they've been so much longer, I can't believe I used to be going along doing my thing without Collin by my side! I love him so much and really appreciate all the sweet things he does for me and how kind and supportive he is to me even when I don't deserve it! I love you honey!!
