21 Years into Eternity

Twenty one years and counting! It was one of the very best anniversaries so far. Rob's mother generously sent us on a dinner cruise on the Columbia River. Now, I have always wanted to go on a cruise, but Rob in not real fond of the water--especially when he can't see the bottom. While we were on our dinner cruise, he announced that this was his first step toward taking me on a real SEA CRUISE!!!!

Our anniversary date started early for me. The girls gave me a facial, a manicure, and a massage. They even put my feet in a very warm massaging foot spa. They fed me grapes and chocolate. AHHHH, that was AWSOME!!




Just heading out! It was a beautiful day.


At our table waiting for our yummy dinner.





From our window. . .




On the middle deck.


This was a genuine paddle boat.

Directly under the Bridge of the Gods which spans the Columbia River between Stevenson and Cascade Locks.

Just before the Bonneville Dam.



This is a dock used by local Native Americans to fish for salmon.





Sunset on the river is breath-taking.



It got colder on the way back to the dock. What a wonderful way to celebrate 21 years of love.
