Curt surprised me with an anniversary get-away. He gave me 5 minutes to pack a miscellaneous assortment of items. (It's a good thing I'd done the laundry.) On the list was thermal underwear, swim suit, hiking shoes, dress clothes, band aids, and other random items to throw me off track. We then ended up in the car with driving instructions that led us to the nicest restaurant in the valley, La Caille. La Caille is a French word that means "one really great meal at a price that would feed your family for a week." As we were leaving home, I asked if we would need a camera. Curt, being a man, replied "No." So I have no pictures of us on the grounds of a restaurant where people pay lots of money to have their portraits taken. Maybe when we go back in 20 years, we can take pictures then. Here's a picture from their website:
Curt then tried to fool me into thinking we were going camping, He even pulled into a camp ground and showed me the tent and sleeping bags he had put into the trunk. We really went to a hotel up the canyon at Snowbird. It's great to have a child old enough to tend overnight, so we can get away a little. (That child doesn't think it's so great, but she'll understand in 25 years or so.) Thanks honey for a fun anniversary!

Sounds like it was lots of fun. I like your translation for 'La Caille'. Too true! I was grateful that our first child was a girl for the lovely benefit of her baby sitting services down the road for fun activities like this. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

That is so awesome, and you thought you were not doing anything exciting!! What a great surprise. This keeping in touch with blogging is so great. I love that Lisa and Donna have joined in on the fun. It helps us all keep in touch when life keeps bustling by.
Wow! Happy belated 20th annniversary to you and curt!!! The way curt surprised you was awesome! It had me sitting on the edge of the couch just reading about it!!! Jay just said that he wants Curt to surprise him for a future birthday or something...but he is requesting the camping trip!! Hey, you guys are so fun! We miss coming up and staying there with you at your house! Krysta is always so good to give up her room and stock us up with either mints or brownies on our pillows!! So fun!
