Valentine's Day and 1 Year Anniversary Trip

Ryan and I had a nice Valentine's Day, which we celebrated a few days early because we are so busy with school during the week. Ryan took me to:

And it was delicious! We had never been there and we highly recommend it!

We then had a weekend planned for our anniversary weekend. It worked out well to spend time with each other because I would be traveling to DeLand, FL during the week for my internship. We went to Amelia Island. First, we had to drop the dogs off at a friends house and then we had lunch at:

So then we were on our way to Amelia Island :)

We headed to the historic downtown and did some shopping. We also asked some locals where they recommended for dinner because we really wanted to enjoy something local. So of course, we ended up at a microbrewery:

Of course, we needed dessert so we stopped at a local ice cream shop!

Then we went and played putt-putt since the weather was so nice.

We called it a night after putt-putt and enjoyed sleeping in the next morning. The next morning we enjoyed breakfast provided by the resort and then took a nice walk on the beach.

Ryan had been talking about a surprise he had planned and I was just dying to know what it was. Come to find out he had set us up to have a couples massage! And it was wonderful!

We then wanted some local seafood, so the resort suggested we go to:

We didn't want to go back to the resort too early so we decided to go to a local coffee shop where some live music was playing.

Then when we got back to the resort, our room looked like this:

And of course there was champagne and chocolate covered strawberries :)

It was such a nice weekend and I can't believe we've been married for a year now! I look forward to many more years of happiness together! On our actual anniversary on Sunday we enjoyed our wedding cake from a year ago. It still tasted the same and was delicious!

 Now I'm out on internship, so I don't know how exciting our lives will be over the next few weeks!
