We sailed upon the waters of the Atlantic. We sang. We toured St. Augustine in a horse drawn wagon, trolley and carriage. We laughed. We dined on a 3 course tapas and wine dinner. We danced. We indulged on specially prepared chocolate and strawberry cakes by Leaa D. We celebrated. All of this we did and more, taking pictures till discarded batteries gathered like fallen leaves.
The quest was a simple one. Celebrate a birthday with limited notice to family and friends on details such as: When and Where. It was Aly's birthday. That made it Party Time!
The nuances of International Adoption wrecks havoc on plans and schedules. Alas, our birthday bash called for something close to home yet adventurous. Fun and engaging but allowing something for all.
In short, romantic yet family and friend oriented.
So the call went out and once again our wonderful family and friends responded. So awesome! Each and every one of them.
Happy Birthday Sweetie! Since we didn't make it to the Keys, I guess we'll just have to settle on a trip to China :)
I love you Aly and just want you to know that I give thanks in celebrating each and every day I share with you.
peace
