Happy 2 Year Anniversary

This year, it was my turn to plan something fun for our anniversary. Last year, Houston surprised me with a wonderful trip to Vegas with all kinds of fun things planned. So this year, I wanted to do something really fun but different than anything we had every done before. On Monday, we headed up to the Grand Canyon Railway for a train ride. Houston had never seen the canyon before, so I was so excited to show him how beautiful it was up there. We got to the depot in Williams, checked into our hotel room and then boarded the train on our luxury parlor seats. I have to say that first class is the only way to go on a train. You get nice comfortable couches and plenty of walking space, not to mention your own private fully stocked bar. We had pastries and mimosas on the way in and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. When we got to the canyon we had lunch at the El Tovar restaurant which had beautiful views of the canyon at our table. After lunch, we walked around and took some pictures and did a little shopping. It was so cold and windy at the top, I was actually surprised how cold it was. I guess I'm used to being at the bottom of the canyon at the campgrounds and it is much warmer down there. We boarded back on the train after 3 1/2 hours at the canyon and then headed back to Williams. We listened to a few musicians on the way back and enjoyed a champagne toast (or a few!) with the rest of our friends on the train.

We had a delicious dinner that night at a Mexican restaurant, it was so fun just to walk everywhere since it's such a small town. The next day we had breakfast at a little diner there and then took off for Sedona where we spent most of the afternoon walking around the down town area. We had reservations at L'Auberge de Sedona for a very romantic lunch by oak creek. It was very quaint and the food was to die for! On our way home from Sedona, we stopped and Houston let me pick out a new pair of running shoes because I've been wanting to get new ones so bad. When we got home, I had surprised Houston with a professional massage table set up in the middle of the living room with candles and rose petals everywhere. He was so surprised! I gave him a hour full body massage, it was so much fun! We had such a great time together and finished the night with dinner and dessert at home. It was so nice to not be rushed at all and to have my husband for two WHOLE days! Cheers to many more to come :)
