TBT upcoming wedding anniversary edition:

For three years before getting married, J lived 8 hours away in MI and I was in WI. Since we had to travel to see each other anyway, we literally decided to spend our dating days on travels and adventures. For our second date, he took me flying (had his private pilot's license at the time), to have dinner at Lake Lawn Lodge:). For our first New Year's Eve he surprised me with a train trip to Toronto to go see Phantom of the Opera;)

Adventures in boating, sailing, trains, planes, cross country skiing, camping, horse back riding, kayaking, bobsledding, hiking, caves, traveling,  roller blading, etc....(notice the water theme, and getting away from winter theme....I guess we were meant to live on the coast;)

Although the adventures were a blast, happy to report after 17 years since we started dated, we are settled and enjoy occasional adventures, but mostly just BEing in this wonderful life we together chose.
