Day 8 of the March Slice of Life Challenge hosted by the Two Writing Teachers! #SOL23

A short trip to Pittsburgh
Just the two of us
Meadows ice cream
A shoe store
Ikea
Two burgers and fries
A sunset in the rearview mirror
Then back home
A surprise homemade banner
And a homemade triple layer cake, yum!
Thankful for our daughters
And rockstar grandparents
Thankful for Ikea shelves and a soon-to-be lego display
Thankful to be celebrating 18 years tomorrow
I love this! It sounds like you had a nice time getting away. Happy anniversary!

How wonderful is it to be at a place in your relationship where a road trip, ice cream and an Ikea run is a romantic outing. =)
Through the words and the pictures, I can sense the love you have for one another and throughout your family. It makes me smile.
(I also love your bio/byline. Long live the Flair Pen!)
