...And loving it.

So as you all know that this past weekend was our anniversary. It was a great time! We spent both Saturday and Sunday exploring York. Our activities included:

1. Richard III Museum: a King of England (1483-1485).
2. A tour through one of Britain's most distinguished historical town houses, the Fairfax House.
3. The York dungeon: A weird haunted house type place that was teaching us about York history and trying to scare us at the same time. The pamphlet reads "The York Dungeon brings more than 2000 years of gruesomely authentic history vividly back to life... and death." Haha, it was different to say the least.
4. A tour of "York's friendliest and independent brewery."
5. Clifford's tower
6. A ride around the city on a bus with lots of sightseeing and commentary.
7. The York Minster.

8. AND last but not least, my personal favorite... a surprise river cruise!!! How romantic. :) It was the perfect way to end our wonderful weekend. It was a 75 minute cruise from the Lendal Bridge landing where we got on the boat to the Bishopthorpe Palace, home to the Archbishop of York.

As you can see, we had two very full, action-packed days! At the end of Sunday night, Brandon told me he wished June 6th wouldn't come... neither of us wanted our day to end.


Sorry for the sappiness, I just can't resist and HAVE to put it in. Especially since I know all of you secretly love it! ;)

P.S.- Thanks to all of you that commented! It was really good to get some responses! It was so fun to hear from some people that I had no clue were reading it. :) I will continue to write the blogs.
