Kevin and I just celebrated our three year anniversary!
He usually manages to surprise me with a romantic overnight date. This year, our weekends were already pretty full with fun stuff so we had mutually decided to take Monday off to spend the day together; maybe go snow shoeing or something active.
Well, he tricked me again. Instead of snow shoeing on Monday, his real plan was to take me to Alderbrook Resort Sunday. He had arranged for us to snow shoe still, then wine and dine and then get massages on Monday. Oh, go ahead,”aww.” I know, right? Isn’t he the sweetest?
Well, our romantic getaway turned into a very long Sunday drive. You may remember the last post about all the rain at the luminaria? Well all that rain turned into a mudslide, closing part of Highway 3. But(!) never fear, there is another way to get to Alderbrook – it would just take a lot longer – but we weren’t in a hurry. So, we decided to go up and around Hood Canal, driving back down Highway 101. We were in the car about four hours now and made it to the final stretch when sadly, the only other road to Alderbrook was closed due to floods. We literally couldn’t get there.
By now it was dinner time and all we had to eat all day were cookies from the night before. We couldn’t quickly get back to the ferry so continued to drive south to Olympia and then back home, making a giant circle. Our romantic evening away turned into a six hour Sunday drive, McDonald’s for dinner and a chick flick.
So, the day….well, it was a total waste – but at least it was memorable!
