…was our dating anniversary. I say “was” because since the wedding, Hubby and I decided to only celebrate our wedding anniversary. So, I wanted to commemorate past dating anniversaries.
Five years ago today, we bravely ventured down to the San Diego Wild Animal Park for our first date. I am not sure why we planned a first date that involved two hours in the car each way plus an all day activity, but we had a fantastic time and survived to tell about it.

For our 1st anniversary in 2006, we used our annual passes for some fun at Disneyland. He has that same face, when I hang from his neck, too. Hubby, you know you love it!

In 2007, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary aboard the Carnival Fun Ship to Baja, California. We had a good time getting away from the weekend and eating lots of food.

We enjoyed dinner at Roy’s Restaurant and dessert from Beard Papa’s for our 3rd anniversary. Yummy in my tummy! I think the pink candles in the creme puffs are cute. Don’t you?

To celebrate our last dating anniversary, we dined at Beacon in Culver City. To continue the tradition from the year before, we also had four creme puffs from Beard Papa. Too bad we will not be continuing that this year.

It amazes me how fast time flies. In five years, we have created many wonderful memories, and I am excited to see what the future holds for us. Happy Five Year Dating Anniversary, Hubby!
