Mile Marker #2

It's official...Rich and I reached Mile Marker #2 of our marriage today....July 18th, 2011!




To celebrate our 2nd Anniversary and reaching mile marker #2 on the journey called MARRIAGE...Rich and I headed over to Lake Chelan to celebrate (the odd years he plans, the even years I plan, great idea, we know)!!!

Friday night we got over to Chelan early evening and enjoyed some wine and beer at The Vogue in Downtown Chelan (little did we know...we hit it another 3 times over our extended weekend)!

After a night on the town....Tin Lilly and some great cocktails...we headed back home and "cozy'd" up to one another for the night...

Saturday morning..we hit the best breakfast joint on the Eastside...and went to Blueberry Hill Farms...so amazing!

I had the Blueberry Blintz and Rich had the Karma-cha (or some type of delicious scramble with corn strips)...so delicious!!!
After breakfast...we did a little fishing at Roses Lake and I caught my FIRST EVER Large Mouth Bass....then the wine tasting began!

Stop 1 - Tildio!

Stop 2 - Four Lakes
Stop 3 - The Firehouse
Stop 4 - CSR Winery
After the day of tasting...it was time for a little bite and we hit the Market Deli...for the BEST Roast wrap and sandwiches...yummy!
After lunch...it was time for me to relax and Rich and Chukar hit the woods for a bit....isn't he adorable!!!
Saturday night...I surprised Rich with a fabulous dinner...and of course a stop at MILE MARKER #2! You could never imagine how tricky these pictures are!!!

Dinner was at Sorrento's at the Tsillian (Chelan) Winery....and it was wonderful!
Look at the amazing view from our table...just perfect!
We started off with a little Caprese salad and stuffed mushrooms....yummy!
Then it was time for the main course...I had the steak special and Rich had another delicious steak entree'! The food was great...but the company was better!
Sunset on Lake Chelan....
A little shot of us (post-dinner and full bellies) at Sorrento's!
Sunday morning it was all about Chukar and heading to the highest point in Chelan for him to run...we actually were able to see 360 degrees from our vantage point...and Chukar was able to run like he loves!
A little view of the Columbia River...from the top!
...and the other side....Lake Chelan!
We had a tired puppy on our hands...but also a VERY happy little man!
This pictures says it all...happy, exhausted and having a blast!
Chukar and the flower....hahah! Guess you had to be there!
More beautiful flowers along the way....
and a nasty little snack! In this adventure alone, we saw a lizard, a rattle snake and the bull snake below!
Next up was the fishing hole...and Chukar's time to swim...he went NON-STOP for at least 30 minutes!
After the morning of fun, we hit up a few more wineries on Sunday....

Stop 1 - Karma
By far, the BEST wine of the weekend!
Stop 2 - Benson Vineyards!
By far, the best stop, view and experience of the weekend!
We just relaxed and enjoyed the moment...so great!
After tasting a few wines...Rich headed to catch some Blue Gills and I relaxed with Chukar!
Sunday night was PIZZA and Beer night at The Local Myth...and the we went to the Local!
Our little home away from home for the weekend....
Thanks Chelan...Mile Marker 2 was epic!
Such a great weekend to celebrate the past 2 years together...can't wait to see what the next year holds for us! Year #2 brought about many changes to our lives...and we know that the next year will hold as many (if not more)....

Cheers to the adventure that we are on together and the continued JOURNEY!
