5 year anniversary getaway

We snuck away last weekend, just the two of us, to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We make it a point to getaway every year in some form. The first year, we went to Iceland. The second year, I don’t even remember - we had a four month old and that year is just a complete blur. The third year, we went about an hour away for a night. The fourth year, we went to downtown Chicago. This year, we went about an hour away again. All of them have been so different, but all of them have been magical. We’re planning a bit more of an extended getaway a few hours away later this fall, but still wanted to do something on our actual anniversary.

We had dinner at one of our favorite places, and then spent the following morning having a leisurely breakfast and then a few mile walk around the city together. We found a little coffee shop and an open air farmers market. Everything about it was relaxing and it was so good to just get away as the two of us.

I pulled out a few of our wedding photos, in case you haven’t been around long enough to remember that day with us. it was everything we wanted it to be - a beautiful outdoor ceremony at a nature preserve with 300 dear friends and family around us to celebrate. So many handcrafted details that we poured hours into. Forever such a special day!
