Friday 8-6-10 Our 22nd Wedding Anniversary

The guys made a marvelous Denver omlette for our breakfast. It is my husband and my 22nd wedding anniversary today. We met 24 years ago on this same date. This will have been one of the most memorable ones to date. Jamie, it is all your fault and we LOVE you for it!

10:00 I enjoyed a wonderfully warm shower at the Oceanside Marina.

11:30 AM we shoved off for our second leg (a 20 mile sail,) from Oceanside to Dana Point on a glorious warm, sunny morning. Our expected time of arrival is 5:30 PM.

We docked on the A dock at the end and took a shower at Dana Point Marina. Once showered, we walked to the other end of the marina and ate at Wind and Sea for our Anniversary dinner. The food was unbelieveable! Appetizer was pounded calamari steak, the best most tender I have ever had! Rob ordered chef's special of swordfish with mango salsa. Exquisite flavors! I had grilled salmon with double veggies. Yum! Dessert was over the top. Jamie had the warm brownie ala mode. This was freaking unbelieveable! We shared a mudpie that was HUGE and sinful.

Rob and I tried to remember some of our annviersaries and what we did over the years. Here is what we came up with.
