One Year Ago...

One year ago, it was the best day of my life.

I had the time of my life.




I got married to my best friend.



They say the first year is the hardest.

I think we made it without a hitch.

If we can survive living with in-laws for over a year I believe we can survive anything.



Yesterday we celebrated our anniversary a day early since Travis has to work today.

I live in Puget Sound Washington and there are so many islands I have been dying to go to. Yesterday Travis surprised me with a Ferry Ride from Tacoma to Vashon Island! We have been thinking of actually moving to Vashon so we wanted to check it out.

I think we actually covered the whole island on his bike! We went down all the back roads side roads, beach access roads. We had a blast.


For lunch we wanted to cruise around town and find a local hot spot. And boy did we! Vashon is very much a hippie town. I spotted this restaurant on the side of the road called The Monkey Tree. I really just liked the name. So we walked in and we were handed a Menu. Travis and I were looking through it and realized there were no entres with meat!
I had picked a Vegetarian restaurant!

I was a little sceptic I had never eated a full vegetarian meal. But I ordered a Roasted Fig and Gorgonzola Grilled Sandwhich.


It was amazing! I had never had anything so good! Travis was more like a breakfast meal. He liked mine better. I couldn't finish mine so he had the rest. After that meal, we decieded we could be vegetarian! It filled us up but didn't weigh us down!

After lunch we cruised around a lot. It was a so much fun!

Around 7 we headed back to Tacoma to have some dinner then watch the fireworks at 10. We took a long and relaxing dinner to try and kill some time before the festivities.

Our lunch was better.



The fireworks were amazing. They were shot off a barge in the middle of the Sound!
