Woot Woot! It's been a year!

We kicked off our ANNIVERSARY week at Deep Creek Lake, courtesy the Wargos.

Sleeping in a tent, being lazy on the boat, playing in the water on a tube and skis, smore-ing by the fire, eating on the deck, fishing off the dock, paddling a kayak, soaking in the hot tub, playing YAHTZEE, SORRY,
keeping busy with a BARREL OF MONKEYS, firing off a potato gun, and just living out of our swimming suits ... these are the most of what we did on that long weekend.

oh how we miss it!


but, the lake trip ended well late Sunday night and we spent the following day in Baltimore with the kiddies. the zoo and port discovery ... such fun places, well-behaved and enthusiastic kids, how could we NOT have a good day?!

We were out and about the whole day and the kids were thrilled that Christopher had an "out of the office day so he can take us to Baltimore," as Gabby says.


Tuesday, July 15 - our anniversary day - we both took an out of the office day to be with each other; and we spent it with a lazy morning followed by a picnic lunch at Oatlands.

YES, Oatlands Plantation where our September reception will be held. Here's a couple more reception venue teasers.

Enjoy and See You All Soon!

ps - our first anniversary was wonderful and ended with
a bottle of champagne, a romantical dinner and a plethora of desserts
