Happy Anniversary

Today marks Buffy's and my 10 year wedding anniversary! And we have nothing really planned.

It was Friday, June 12, 1998 (photo on left) when at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, NV we said "I do." It's sort of difficult to believe it's been 10 years. A lot has happened since then... built a new house and moved in, gained an extra nephew, lost an array of family members, job changes, made new friends, terrorist attacks, war, got a mid-life crisis, started a band, became a blond. Yep, we're now just your typical old married couple.

Our anniversary was somewhat overshadowed by Buffy's parents 50th wedding anniversary last weekend. All the family came in town for happy hour on Friday then a dinner the next night. But, we are tentatively planning to finish our Route 66 trip for our anniversary, perhaps next week. If you recall, we followed Route 66 for over 2 weeks last year (which was travel-blogged about here). We got onto 66 just north of Springfield, IL. So we plan to go to Springfield and check out the new Lincoln Library, then follow 66 north from Springfield to Chicago. It will only be about a 3 day trip.

UPDATE: We wound up going to dinner at Tavern on the Water and then to the first night of "Scumboat Days" for our anniversary.  We met up with Ted Sumner, Dubby and Rusty Greene and watched Rachel's Hippo play.
