8th Anniversary


Ryan and I were lucky enough to have a night all to ourselves a couple days before our actual anniversary, thanks to Aunt Brooke and Uncle Dana!  Ryan and I were happy to spend some special time together knowing that our kids were off having a blast with their aunt, uncle and cousin!  We had a scrumptious and very fresh dinner at a local restaurant.  While looking back on the past and talking about our hopes for the next eight years!


After dinner we walked down by the cliffs to watch the gorgeous waves and beautiful sunset.


...my handsome groom gazing at the astounding view.  After the sun set in the sky, we took a walk on the pier and downtown.


On our actual anniversary the kids put on the formal wear they received as a gift from Aunt Lynn and Aunt Dawnie.  Rowan thought it would be fun to have a photo shoot.  The photos turned out great and we had a blast!  By the time Ryan got home from work, we were all ready to go out for taco Tuesday at a nice restaurant in town.  Yes, only the Merricks would get dressed to the nine for taco Tuesday!  On our walk down to dinner, Merrick ran into this professional acrobat that thought it would be fun to balance his scooter on his chin, then he balanced his surf board!  Wow, that was a treat!


The tacos were definitely yummy!  We had a great meal as a family, and the kids really enjoyed being a part of our anniversary celebration.  

 

We left the restaurant just in time to catch the neon sky from the sun that had already set.  Ryan and I can both say with confidence that the sun will never set on our love.
