As some of you know, we have a very busy week the first part of Oct. Steves birthday, my birthday and our anniversary are all in the same week. I really wanted to plan something nice for our anniversary this year. So I planned a day for us to go to Essex and ride the steam train, and river boat, and took the ferry and hiked up to Gillettes castle. (William Gillette was an actor, famous for playing Sherlock Holmes). I was trying to keep it a surprise but had to tell him due to babysitting issues. We celebrated it on a Saturday because our actual anniversary was during the week. We rode on car number 503, the same one Harrison Ford rides in the new Indiana Jones movie. The ferry is kinda neat. It holds 9 cars as well as pedestrians and is one of only 9 working in the US.
We had a great day. The weather was a perfect fall day. It couldnt have been any better. We had a really nice time together and it was great to spend the day just the 2 of us. It was an all day venture including dinner afterward, and a day without ANY hiccups. We need those more often!
When our actual anniversary came during the week, Zachary (my very sweet thoughtful son) surprised us with an edible arraingment. Yummy fruit dipped in chocolate. What could be better than that? AND he gave us a gift cert to Olive garden. Love that kid, he loves to buy people presents. Good for him, I like to get them!
