SIX

On Saturday August 4th (a day early) I got to celebrated 6 amazing years of marriage... 

With this handsome guy. 

Erik's parents were kind enough to take Lucy all day.

First we headed first to the D.C. temple to do sealings to remind us of our own.

A tradition I would like to continue. 

Next we headed to Georgetown in D.C. 

Believe it or not I had never been there! 

There was a lot I wanted to see! 

It was a really hot day and we had brought clothes to change into but Erik forgot his shorts, so to match better, we both stayed in our Sunday attire....awesome. Poor Erik-so hot! 

Anyway...

First lunch at the famous Serendipity. 

Of course we ordered their famous frozen hot chocolate to go. 

It was delicious! 

Next we hit up some shopping! 

It was Erik's idea to have us each pick out an outfit for each other to try on. 

Here was the results! Ha!

Erik's skinny jeans barely buttoned! I thought he looked pretty hot, he hated it! 

The truth about my outfit was that this was take 2. 

First he showed up with what I would consider lingerie.

 I was like "are you kidding me?" 

The sad thing is that he legitimately thought it was a dress I could just wear a cardigan over...no. 

I am talking zebra stripes, mini dress. I couldn't even try it on in public! ha! 

This is why I never have him pick an outfit for me. He did do better with take 2. 

And of course no Georgetown trip is complete without stopping at Georgetown Cupcake from the TLC show. 

We waited outside in the heat for 30 min. for these baby's! 

If you know me and my patience level combined with my heat tolerance this is a huge deal.

On the other hand, if you know me and my sweet tooth it's nothing!

Erik choose key lime pie and I choose mint cookies and cream. 

I hate to say it....but they were slightly disappointing. 

I mean they were fine, the frosting was really good, but the cake part was just average. 

Just overrated in my opinion. 

But it was an experience and now I can say I've been there. 

Last of all, and the highlight of the trip was our bike ride along the Potomac river. 

I am not a biker- I have not been on one in years. 

We were hoping for a tandem bike so I could sit back enjoy the ride while Erik pedals his heart out. 

When we found out they didn't have one Erik said  "maybe we shouldn't do it- can you ride a bike by yourself" Excuse me! NO...but now...YES!

I was a little worried but guess what?

 I had a ton of fun, didn't really get tired and it just was awesome. 

The sights and views were beautiful. 

It really would top some of the things we have ever done together!

I was proud and called my athletic brother to tell him I rode 5 miles and loved it. He pretended to be impressed yet I heard a little giggle at the mere mileage. 

Whatever! It was a big deal to me and I discovered a new love...in short distances...with beautiful views...and with  my favorite person in the world! 

Happy Anniversary Sweetie! 

I love you! 

Thanks for an awesome day!
