Romance on Rails
For our first wedding anniversary celebration, Aaron took me out on the Spirit of Washington dinner train.
He thought of everything. Before we boarded the train, he helped me complete my look with a Holly Yashi necklace and earring set. Then there were roses waiting for me when we got to our table on the train.
The food was excellent. I had prime rib, and he had the salmon. The wines were exquisite – I particularly enjoyed the whidbey port.
Aaron, my dear husband, I don’t have enough words to tell you how much I love you. You made me very, very happy tonight.
I love you more every day, and I’m so thankful that I get to spend my life with you.
