Happy Anniversary Jo to you and DH, we wish you two many more years of driving each other crazy just for fun, laughter and tears, good food and great friends, a fancy hotel experience once a year without the kids, dishwashers or laundry, experiences together that make you look back and say "remember when" but feel as though it were yesterday.
Being married nowadays is rare, especially when partnered for a long time, and it's sad more people do not fully embrace the wonders of being partnered with someone who drives you so crazy you don't know whether to hug them or kick them in the butt. Laughter is the key and I agree being impressed by everything. We take for granted life's little generosities, like our beaches, the sunshine, good hotels, great service, and everything else in between.
Good on you guys for getting away and sharing it with all of us, and teaching everyone that it's okay to be a little humble and excited in exploring things we aren't used to. Enjoy them and live life to the fullest. You are amazing in your wisdom!
Happy Anniversary Joanne, and congratulations! Brilliant and entertaining post. I love being my wife's husband in spite of myself. We spent our first married year together on honey moon.
JP and Raven, thanks for your good wishes. It is inspiring to keep a relationship alive and fresh, isn't it? I am very impressed by things like happiness, especially in daily life.

hey Cib don't get me started on this one... for me, that was the only way. I really never wanted to get married. I still sometimes shudder at the idea... but the short answer for me is yes. We got all the horrible parts of the relationship over at a time when both of us felt we could walk away if we wanted to. What inspired us to get married was that eight years in, nappies, colic, immigration behind us, we still loved each other. That impressed me. Enough to get married.

Hi Joanne! Happy anniversary to you and your hubby!
I think it's important to keep the romance alive and hotels do just that. There are many people who don't see the point in staying in a hotel in your own city but I've done it many times before and I simply treat it as a quick get away. When you are in a hotel you don't feel like you are in your own city, and the best part is as you said - to be impressed.

Heck, I'm even thrilled if our room has those little two-packs of biscuits to go with the tea and coffee!
And a breakfast Danish as well as bacon and eggs - luxury!
What a sweet post.
Happy Anniversary Jo and Hubbie.
