Anniversary Fun!

August 29, 2011

Happy Monday, loves! I’m on the road to Cork for a few work meetings, so I wanted to share with you the fun Michael and I had on our anniversary last week.

We aren’t really the type to do presents or make a big deal of the day. For our first anniversary, Michael made me pancakes and gave me a newspaper (something about the first anniversary is the paper one). Then we went to a basketball game. It was a little traumatic. And neither of us have any idea what we did last year, so we wanted to do something a little more memorable this year.

So, National Concert Hall and picnic dinner up on the cliffs of Howth. Low key but festive, just our style.

{that’s the look Mike gives me when he’s annoyed I’m taking too long and taking too many photos}
{You aren’t really supposed to take photos inside the concert hall, but I got this one before I heard that announcement!}

I was struck by how green the inside of the concert hall was. Oddly, I expected more marroon, but I suppose it’s Ireland, so green makes sense!

Then for dinner, we packed a little picnic and took a short hike up the cliff walk in Howth. It was chilly and cloudy, but it made for the best sunset.

Not a bad little third anniversary at all! Although maybe next year we’ll pack a more fun dinner. Good thing the view made up for boring old leftovers!
