Early celebration of our 6 yr anniversary! (March 20-21, 2010)

We decided to celebrate our 6 yr anniversary, which is March 26, the weekend of March 20-21.  The reason is we wanted to stay at the Vinoy in St. Pete and discovered the Grand Prix race will be held there the weekend of our anniversary. 

Sage stayed with her Grandparents and everyone had a great time!  According to Grandaddy & Grandmama, Sage was a perfect little girl and very well-behaved.  Aunt Theresa, Uncle David & Kathy visited Sage during her stay and everyone seemed to enjoy her.  We dropped Sage off around noon on Saturday and headed to the Vinoy for our 3:00 spa appointments.  Before the spa, we enjoyed a yummy pool-side lunch and just relaxed.  After the spa, we hung out on the Vinoy's large front porch and watched all the people coming & going.  There were at least 2 weddings that day, one was held right outside our room, so a lot of interesting people to see.  For dinner we walked to Moon Under Water for a scrumptious dinner.

On Sunday, we slept in and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast.  After breakfast, we walked around the grounds of hotel and around St. Pete.  We got caught in the rain and still had a wonderful time. 

We really missed our little sweetie but it is so nice for the two of us to get away. It was so exciting to see her - she was relaxing in her Grandaddy's arms when we arrived to pick her up.  She actually looked bigger & older from when we dropped her off on Saturday!  It was a wonderful weekend and we sure do appreciate Grandaddy & Grandmama taking such good care of our little girl.

Historic (in Landon's mind) Mastry's...

Club Detroit - spent a lot of nights here in our "youth"...
Jannus Landing - outdoor concert venue where we had our 1st real date!  I pretended to love some guitarist (Robin Trower) who Landon really likes.  Thank goodness I no longer have to pretend as I have paid my dues in attending these "guitarist" concerts!

Glad you had fun - we did a little trip there with Lila when she was a few months old - so no sleeping in or anything but we had a nice time. I'm sure the time to yourselves was really nice! Happy anniversary!
