1 Year Anniversary Date

Wow! I couldn't have asked for a better 1 year anniversary date.  God totally blessed us with far beyond what we could have imagined (or afforded)! 

We bought Dinner Cruise tickets for the Edelweiss Boot Dinner Cruise.  It was a two hour dinner cruise on the Milwaukee river and Milwaukee bay (Lake Michigan). We left home, right after Anthony came home from work, and made it to Milwaukee in record time. There was NO traffic. So, we were an hour early for the cruise.  As we were standing outside, waiting, it started to pour.  We found refuge inside the Port of Call Bistro and Beer Garden (the restaurant where the boat cruise was going to leave from).  We ordered an appetizer and started chit chatting with a gentleman, who told us we were really going to enjoy our cruise.

 

We also decided to stay at a hotel, in downtown Milwaukee, on a whim.  I called Hotwire.com.  (For those of you who don't know how hotwire.com works, you have to reserve your hotel room BEFORE they will tell you what hotel you're going to stay at.  A little scary to say the least. So I called, to see if they could help us out.) The guy was great! He got us a 3.5 star hotel within a mile of where we were at!!! 

So our dinner started with a yummy salad and rolls. Our main course was salmon, filet mignon, carrots and red potatoes. Dessert was a giant piece of cheesecake with strawberries on top.  The waitress brought our cheesecake out with a candle on top, to celebrate our anniversary!

After the cruise, we went to our hotel. Except we went to the wrong one. They gave us free cookies! When we got to our Hilton, we were AMAZED. It was huge and beautiful. The front desk woman, Melissa, was so sweet. She gave us a free gift basket with cheese, crackers, popcorn, beef sticks, drinks, and cookies and she gave us complimentary breakfast buffet tickets. All because we mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary.  She put us on the 22 floor, with a fantastic view! The breakfast was amazing and I even ordered pancakes from the back!! Thank you Hilton for a fantastic 1 year anniversary night!!

I am so thankful for my amazing husband and for our first year of marriage.  I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate!!
