3 Year Anniversary.

So...we've been married for 3 years today (well, now it's "today".  Blogger still thinks it's the 7th, but we got married on the 8th).  Three anniversaries I have spent with my wonderful hubby, and two of them, I have been pregnant.  Let's hope this is not a pattern.

Since last year our anniversary was pretty low-key (Red Robin for lunch and shopping at Target in Grand Junction), but still wanting to not spend a whole lot of money, we opted for the dinner/cruise at Canyonlands by Night and Day here in Moab.  So fun!

We started out having a cowboy-style dinner (dutch oven yumminess) and took the Lights and Sounds cruise afterward, heading up the river and learning about some of the fun/interesting parts of the history of the area.  Our "captain" was a pretty good-natured guy...he seemed to thoroughly enjoy his job, which definitely made the excursion more exciting.

Also corny.

Regardless, it was fantastic to be able to spend some time alone with my love.  Sure, Dax is great and all....but it's probably only the third date Robbie and I have had without him in all his two years of life.

Some pics of the scenery.  This particular cruise discourages photography (also it's too dark to do much good anyway) so these are some pics from the website.

Unfortunately, for us the skies weren't nearly this clear.  It rained for about an hour before and all during dinner, and was overcast the whole ride.  Still fun....and definitely more refreshing.  We actually wore jackets for the first time since February or so. 
Yeah...our sunset wasn't nearly this rad.  But it just goes to show the incredible beauty of where we live.  This place is awesome!
...And back to the "base".   For those of you who haven't done this particular attraction (which is most, and quite possibly ALL of you), we'd recommend it.

...and we know of a place you could stay should you choose to come visit!

Love it! We stayed there once for Youth Conference last year. Didn't take a cruise though. Seemed like a pretty cool place!
