Today is me & Wayne's wedding anniversary. Two years ago today we were in Jamaica exchanging our vows (oh how I wish I was there today). To celebrate, we're going to London this weekend for dinner & a play and we'll most likely splurge on a posh hotel for a romantic night out. 
Our gift to each other is a painting we saw in a shop on the harbour. The best part is that we saw the painting on separate occasions and both thought about getting it for each other for our anniversary. I saw it a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it. It's of a couple kissing on a park bench. The rest of the painting is blurred and faded. To me, the simplicity of the the painting speaks volumes on what it's like when you're in love with someone and how sometimes, it feels like there's nothing else in the world but the two of you.
Wayne saw it last week and over the weekend, told me about it to be safe before buying it. It really struck me that he felt the same immediate reaction to it as I did. We're really different when it comes to art so, I find it incredibly romantic that we both love the painting so much. We're going to walk over and buy it tonight and I can't wait to hang it in our living room!
By the way - Happy Anniversary to our friends Aniela & Herman who were married on the very same day as Wayne and I!
My in-laws just left after a five day visit. I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday. He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old). They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit. The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery. Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display. He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful. We walked right in,
