Eleven Years
We celebrated our eleventh anniversary recently.
Some years we plan a significant celebration and some years we plan a small celebration. This year we went to La Posada for breakfast on the weekend prior to our anniversary. We had talked for several years about La Posada, a railroad hotel in Winslow designed by Mary Jane Colter. The hotel is being refurbished and is on the registry of National Historic Landmarks.
I assumed the trip would be short; breakfast, a few minutes of browsing and return home. We were gone six hours and could have taken longer. While wandering around the grounds and the hallways we met artist Tina Mion who owns the hotel with her husband. Many of Tina's painting are displayed throughout the building. Her descriptions of the histories behind some of the paintings made them more interesting.

On the day of our anniversary I was working on something and needed to know the date. I asked Julie and she wasn't sure and suggested I check the calendar in the kitchen. I guess this isn't surprising since about eight years ago we began discussing the date of our anniversary and neither of us were certain so we had to check our marriage certificate.

We had a small celebration that day by driving to town for lunch.

Congratulations guys.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, but....was that a CAMEL I saw in the first picture?
Congrats
Michael, yes, that is a rusty, artistic, impressive camel. La Posada is filled with art.
Paul and Julie,
I'm sorry I didn't remember to send you congratulations. I don't seem to be able to keep up with anything like that any more. But hope it was a good day. Allan and I think you two were made for each other.
On another note, Trista and Ale laughed pretty hard when we told them you two had to check your marriage certificate for your actual wedding date! They LOVED it!
Congratulations! You both deserve this beautiful and relaxing trip. Enjoy!
