13 Years of Blessings From Above

Today marks being married for 13 years.  My hubby and I are grateful to the years that God has given us together and treasure all the memories that He has given to us as a couple and as a family with our two kids. As part of our celebrating, we spent the day together at the Los Angeles Science Center.  It was lots of fun looking at the different exhibits and getting to "play" in them.  Here is one of the fun hands on exhibits that we went to- the infera red camera.

We also purchased tickets to the special exhibition of Cleopatra.

It was very interesting looking at all the artifacts that they have found on the ocean floor

and learning about her life.  What a tragic life she had.  One of the facts that we learned is that no one really knows how she looks for sure because one of the generals that is envious of her destroyed all the photos of her as soon as she committed suicide.  After spending the afternoon at the museum we took a stroll in a rose garden across the street from it.  Then we headed home to get ready for dinner at Roy's. Inside our menus was a special message from Roy and his staff.

 It was funny the waiter that we had last year when we celebrated our anniversary there was our waiter this evening.  We mentioned that to him. To say "thanks" to us he gave us a complimentary appetizer- lobster dumplings.  Benson ordered Roy's Trio (which is 3 types of fish)

and I ordered seared ahi.

For dessert the chef surprised us with a banana fudge cake.

As a gift from Roy and his staff, they gave us a frame with the above picture in it.  It was indeed a very memorable day celebrating our anniversary.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Stay tune for a crafty post soon.
