Happy 10th Wedding Anniversary

Mark and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on April 17. We left the kidos with his sister, Alison. We then traveled to Shreveport, Louisiana for a long weekend. We arrived at Sam's Town, who had comp. our room for both nights, check-in and then headed to the steak house.

The steak house was great! It was very nice and quiet. Mark had the Ribeye and I had Blackend Snapper with a crawfish cream cheese sauce. We split an order or chesse grits w/red pepper and grilled asparagus. We then had split dessert.

After such a nice meal we headed to the to play the slots. Mark showed me a lot of the new slots and how to play some of the table games. The last time I was in a casino they still used the coins. Well, they have taken the coins out and it is all computerized. We did sit down to a blackjack table and enjoyed ourselves for a long while until we ran out of money. We decided to go ahead and head to bed. This was at 11:30pm.

Well, the next day I just couldn't sleep in. So, I got ready and went downstairs to the coffee shop with a book. Mark eventually joined me. We walked around outside a while and then had a big breakfast. After breakfast we got the car and went to the boardwalk. The boardwalk has all these shopping places, restaurants, boweling alley and movie theater. We shopped some and walked a lot.

We then headed to an Italian place for Lunch. It was starting to sprinkle on us but we didn't care. We had a caprse salad and a margarita pizza. The pizza was made like we had had when we went to Italy. The owner is from Italy and he had something on the deck. By this time the rain was coming down in sheets. I realized that the man had a huge block of ice. When we asked about it he said that he was going to carve the ice in a face. We left very satisfied.

We then went back to the boardwalk and watched the movie "Knowing". If you haven't seen it go, it was really good. We then walked around more and did some more shopping. We then went to eat at Coplands Cheescake Bistro. We had Cheese dip, Cesear salad, and hot wings the size of turkey legs.

We then went back to Sam's Town and went to bed. I sleep in till 9:00am. I do not remember the last time I sleep in for that long. We got up and Mark went for a run. I went to the coffee shop and read my book. We did a little gambling and then went and packed up. We headed to Barnes and Noble and looked around for a while. Afterwards we went to Superior Bar and Grille for Lunch around 1:00pm. They have the best fajitas in the country. We then headed home.

What a great 10th wedding anniversary!
