It's just a little past our two year anniversary. We were back at McMenamins a few weeks ago with Dale, Jaimie and Jackson to watch the Death Cab for Cutie Concert. It was amazing! They rocked (as usual). The beer stand was about 6 paces away and there was NO LINE.

Anyway... Dan and I went back to McMenamins today because he had the day off. We decided to have a picnic. We brought in some sandwiches and found a picnic bench by the little red shed. It was a gorgeous day and the place had just enough people there to look postcard perfect, but not so many people that we couldn't find a peaceful place to play cribbage. We played the best of 3 games (I won the first 2, meaning there was no need for a 3rd).

We walked around the property. All the flowers are in full bloom and the place is gorgeous. The first time we went there, I told Dan that it was the place I wanted to be married at. He thought it was run down and old looking. He mentioned today how wrong he was. We both are so happy that we chose a place with so much character.

When we were married we wanted to commemorate it with a piece from the glass blowing shop (on-site). We couldn't afford it at the time. Now that it is our 2nd anniversary we can finally afford a vase! We agreed on a green vase. We were watching the glass blower and his cashier and they actually brought up Pearl Jam. It was perfect!
