Numero Uno!

Today is our first wedding anniversary, the great bambino of anniversary's! We have survived, and really I mean that, our first year of marriage.  Any other year it would be no big deal, tack on another number and let's move on... this year was a CrAzY year... and we survived.

We got married and went on a camping trip as our honeymoon a few days later.  Shortly after our return from camping Sever got on a plane and headed back to Alaska.  A few weeks later with one day notice I picked Sever up from the Seattle airport and we drove north to Alaska.  We then bought a lot where we planned to build a house.  After a few months of lot prep we began home construction on February 1st.  Just last week we moved into our home.  Whew...that was the short hand version of our year.  So with this anniversary really we just wanted to stay home (now that we have one) and veg.  Well, both of us knew that if we stayed home we would wind up working on the house all weekend... so we packed up the camping gear and headed north for the weekend. 


Here are a few (or 30) pictures of our adventure!

 How 'bout that ride in, Moser?  It was a little rough! 

  Shrimp pots! 

For some reason we needed a lot of rope?!

 

Our rental car for the weekend!

“Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That's, that's about it.”

 SE rain, all weekend!

 Most people have a pot puller around here...not us.  Really, I only pulled 2 pots, Sever was the work horse... it's hard work! 

 

 You want me to do what to these cute things?!

 All in the name of love, shrimp shucking!

  Cabin view, not bad.

Making dinner, jambalaya!

Time to reel it in for the weekend.
