Hawaii Vacation Day 6 - Our 10th Anniversary
Friday was our 10th wedding anniversary, and we planned to celebrate by relaxing by the pool all day long!
We woke up around 8 and just ate something quick in our room. Then it was time to his the pool! But first, we had to stop and say hi to Stitch!
We were at the pool all day long. It was great.
We played at the Menehune Bridge
We played at the Octopus Splash Fountain thing.
And Michael made a friend at the pool!
So he was happy as could be playing with his cars and planes in the shallow end of the pool while Andrew and I watched from our lounge chairs. We ordered lunch and it was brought right to us! What service! We didn't even go back to the room for naps on this day. Michael was having fun, we were relaxing, and everyone was happy. We had finally gotten over the time change, and were feeling normal again!
This was the first day we were at the pool during the afternoon pool party! Thank you photopass for taking random pictures during the pool party!
It was fun, but totally different then the pool parties at the other Disney Resorts. Michael even got up with all the other boys to dance with Mickey!
Then after they were done dancing, Mickey was available to pose for pictures.
After the pool party, Michael finally worked up the nerve to go down the big water slide!
He wouldn't go with me, only Daddy! And after the first time down, he loved it! And went down several more times!
Then they went around the Lazy River a couple times!
Around 5:00, we went up to the room to get ready for dinner. Michael was going to Auntie's Beach House, and Andrew and I were going on a "Date". We weren't sure what we were going to do yet, but we knew we were going to do it by ourselves.
So we dropped Michael off at at Auntie's beach house around 5:45. We found a couple photopass photographers, and we got some pictures by the pool and down by the beach.
We also walked around to the other side of the lagoon to take some pictures of the resort.
It was a beautiful evening, and looked like we might get another pretty sunset.
But the clouds rolled in, and there was no sunset to see.
Michael had a great time at Auntie's Beach House! We signed him up for the Eruption Disruption (volcano) activity. I'm so glad photo pass takes pictures of these activities, because now I know what he was doing, while we were out.
We weren't really too hungry, so we went to the sundown member mingle again to grab a few appetizers. Andrew won a DVC Bottle this time! We each had a couple of things to eat, and left early, in hopes of watching the sunset. We walked down to the other side of the lagoon, but like I said, no sunset. We did go down to the beach to have the photopass guy take our picture, and we got some great shots. I wish Michael had been with us to be in the pictures.
By then, we were hungry for dinner, so we decided to go to the buffet for dinner. The other table service restaurant on property was just too expensive, and I couldn't find one thing on the menu that I wanted to order. The buffet was great! There were so many items to chose from, and the dessert selection was wonderful!
I went and got Michael a little before 9:00 and he said he had a great time! I took him back with me to the buffet, while Andrew was paying our bill. I also grabbed Michael a giant cookie.
Then it was time for bed. We watched a movie in room and went to sleep.
It was such a nice relaxing day, and a wonderful way to spend our 10th anniversary!
Up next, Pali Lookout, and the Halona Blowhole.

10 Years!!
Happy 10th Anniversary Andrew!
We have gone through a lot in the past ten years; Changing jobs, buying a house, bringing home two dogs, lots of travel for work, lots of travel for fun. We have been on three cruises, to Mexico once, to Hilton Head and Vero Beach, to Disney World more times than I can count and now a wonderful week in Hawaii! We have also had some tough times; years of infertility, loss of a job and the end of a career we were so sure was perfect. But God brought us through and we were able to experience the miracle of adoption and bring home our beautiful son! And God provided a great job after heart break. So thankful that we serve a faithful God and that we serve him together! God continues to bless our marriage and I am so thankful that God chose you for me! I love you and I am so proud to be your wife. Happy Anniversary Babe!

Date Night
Usually, we are on vacation during the week of our anniversary. This year however, we were not able to go on vacation because of Andrew's job. He gets a dedicated week off for the 4th of July. So, we are just going to go on vacation then, since he will already have the time off. So, that left us trying to figure out what to do for our anniversary. We have a few favorite restaurants that we like to go to for special occasions, but we wanted to try something different this time.
We are always hearing advertisements for this restaurant in Charlotte called 131 Main and the commercials make it sound so good! So we decided to give it a try.
My mom came over to watch Michael for us, and we headed out for a date night. We got to the restaurant a little before 6:00 (I know, very early, but we are getting old and used to eating dinner early with a baby) and were seated right away. There were a few other people in the restaurant but for the most part, it was pretty empty. A guy came up to us right away and took our drink order, brought us our drinks, and then told us that someone else would be our server. Well, 10 minutes went bye before we ever saw another person. Finally, our waitress came over to see if we wanted any appetizers, we did, so we told her what we wanted, and she left. The appetizers came out very quickly, and we still had not given our waitress our dinner order. She came to check on us and see how the appetizers were, and I had to tell her that we were ready to order. For our appetizer we got the cast-iron cornbread and the scallops.
Both were great, but I'm not a huge fan of seafood, so Andrew ate most of the scallops. He said that they were some of the best scallops he has ever had.
Other than the service being not so great, we were very excited about our dinner. Andrew got the crab cakes and I got the ribs. Dinner came out quickly and everything was good, but we were expecting it to be great. I guess our expectations were a little too high. We were planning on getting dessert, but really didn't want to wait for our waitress to come get our order and then have to wait longer for her to bring it. So, we left and and decided we would just go get some ice-cream from Sonic.
I got the hot fudge sundae and Andrew got the caramel sundae. Both were delicious! After that, we headed home. Michael was a sleep when we got home, and mom said that he was the perfect baby for her!
We had a great Anniversary date, but next time, we will probably just go to one of our favorite restaurants instead.
