20 Years goes fast.
Celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on August 27th.
I have been married to the most beautiful, smart, frustrating, caring, complicated woman for 20 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. We were married when she was 19 and I was 22, I drove a 1979 honda civic and owned 1 pair of pants (literally). I have no idea why she married me, she was a good girl and I was a complete maniac. Fortunately she saw something in me that neither myself nor anyone else did and has stood with me all these years, good, bad, and ugly. Anyways, enough sappy stuff here are some pics..... We had good friends staying at our condo in Maui so we decided to stay at the Four Seasons Wailea.  The Four Seasons has a new adults only "Serenity pool" with cabana's, full bar, food service, and masseuse. This is the view from one of the hot tubs.  Yummy food enjoyed poolside in our cabana.  Obligatory fruity drink  Beautiful flowers on the property  Sunset walk on the beach  Our friends who were staying at our condo took us to dinner at a restaurant called Sarrento's. Sarrento's is right on the beach and has great food! Notice the GMT-II on my buddy's wrist that his wife bought for his bday the week before (thanks DavidSW).  This was an appetizer they served called Ivory Salmon which after the first bottle of wine inspired many very dirty jokes.  Lunch the next day at Longhii's  3lbs of lobster goodness!  After our big lunch we spent the rest of the afternoon back at the pool.  We had dinner that night at Duo in the Four Seasons. Duo is a fantastic restaurant that I highly recommend. In addition to all kinds of seafood, they also serve game. I had elk which was perfectly cooked and the wife had duck. We started with a good bottle of wine.  Ended with fantastic dessert.  At the end of meal they bring you complimentary cotton candy which made my wife really really happy.  I wish everyone could be as blessed as I have been these last 20 years, Here's to at least 20 more.
