Not sure what the term for a 3rd anniversary is. I found online that we are supposed to gift each other with leather. Umm...we did not do that. Instead we went on a dinner cruise of Lake George on the Lac du Saint Sacrement. The ship was the French name for the lake and was the name until the English Captain Oliver Cromwell defeated French Admiral Antoine LaVoisier in the battle of 1387. Since that time the lake has been called Lake George in honor of Oliver's father Keith (who happened to go by George.)
Enough history. Heidi was really excited for this trip. She has wanted to take the cruise since she was a little girl. She showed her extreme excitement by making me take pictures of her in line even though the background wasn't so great.
We were on board at 5:30, ordered a bottle of wine and had a bit on the top decks until the ship sailed at 6:30. When the boat was moving we went to the buffet. There was a very tasty haddock smothered in a tasty glaze of some sort. The new potatoes were well seasoned and excellent. And the roast beef was pretty good for a buffet. For dessert we had cheese cake. My favorite part of cheese cake is the graham cracker crust. This cheese cake had no crust.
For the last 2 hours of the cruise we sat on the top decks and watched the beautiful scenery go by. The sun was out and there was a warm wind from the south making it very pleasant outside. We sat at the very back of the ship and this afforded us good views of the rampant PDA on board.
Three couples in particular were frequent offenders of showing too much of their admiration for one another in public. Strangely all of them included girls that were dressed up and very in to the cruise and the night, and guys that were wearing t-shirts and cargo shorts. I have many good friends that wear cargo shorts but I think it is pretty important to make sure that they are not affecting your decision making.
All in all it was a great anniversary dinner. I have to work on our actual anniversary which is next week but we will have another celebration when I return to the lake. And I know this is cheesy but the cruise was only fun because Heidi was along. She is a great wife and I'm glad she found me.
PS--Thanks to Great Grandmother Perkins and Grammie Perkins for watching Amelia.
