Tomorrow is our NINE year anniversary of being together. (No, we are not engaged, and no, we are not breaking up, as far as I know at least.)
Sadly, last year on our eighth anniversary, both of us forgot and didn't remember until weeks later. This year, we have a bunch of wedding trips already set for the spring, so we didn't have the budget to blow on a real trip, but I thought we should do something before our scary decade together celebration. So we headed upstate, for some fresh air and exercise.
We drove up to Bear Mountain and climbed on rocks and wandered around until we were sick of nature. I was hoping to rent bicycles but I couldn't find anywhere to get them from. I guess we'll have to buy our own and bring them. We had dinner at an adorable place in Newburgh called Il Cena Colo and stayed overnight in Beacon at a beautifully restored colonial b&b called the Chrystie House.
While it wasn't really a substitute for a real trip, it was a nice getaway. We haven't gone away since last February's trip to Vieques and I've been spiraling into a repetitive routine with work that can feel suffocating. We're going to try to plan more of these mini trips to have more adventures together. After nine years, it's way too easy to fall into a routine.
