It was our 10th Anniversary on Jan. 30th. We decided to do something just for the day. Ernie planned it all, but he wouldn't tell me what we were doing. He told me to wear comfortable clothes and to bring hiking boots, clothes that could get dirty, and a swimsuit. When we left the house he blind folded me. First he drove me to the first place we lived together which was a little studio apartment on Garfield Street. It was above the shops. We paid $350 a month which included utilities. He then told me he was taking me a little road trip of memories. Next stop was the intersection of Tacoma Mall Blvd. and 56th Street. On our first date we got in a car accident there. Neither on of us was driving by the way. Next was our first house we bought. Then we went to Paradise Bowl. That is where we went on our first date. Then we drove out to Eatonville to the High School. That is where we had our first kiss, in the parking lot. That is where the picture was taken. Then to my parents house. That confused me a little. He told me that was where we were at the first time he new he loved me. Isn't that sweet! Our last stop was in Tumwater where we spent out first night together on our honeymoon. We had one little problem. The hotel had been torn down! It is now a Costco and Fred Meyer! He wanted to suprise me with a night at a hotel so we ended up staying at the Phoenix Inn in Olympia. We had a very nice room! It had a king size bed, jacuzzi tub, two flat screen tvs, and a couch. So in case you were wondering the swimsuit was for the hotel pool and the hiking boots and clothes that could get dirty were just to throw me off. We had a great time together!Monday, February 16, 2009
