Anniversary dinner at Café Renaissance

 

While our actual wedding anniversary was on July 26th, we were at Camp Shehaqua that weekend and couldn’t properly celebrate. We went out to celebrate a week later on Friday with a nice dinner date at Café Renaissance, a local restaurant in Vienna which recently made it onto Open Table’s Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in the country. We hadn’t had a date night in a while, so it was nice to just get out and have some time as a couple without the kids for a couple hours! The food was delicious and the service superb, and we had a very memorable anniversary dinner!

Lobster bisque -- one of my favorites!

It’s been six years since our wedding and over 11 years since the beginning of our journey as a couple. We’re so blessed to have had so many wonderful years and memories together, and we look forward to several more! Can’t wait to see what the future holds. I know it’ll be a beautiful life as long as I have Dan by my side. ♥ Love you, hubby!
