This year, Billy and I celebrated 15 years of marriage.
Time is a strange thing; it feels both longer and shorter than that. The number just seems impossibly large, certainly we are not old enough that we could be married that long? Didn't we just start out life together? At the same time, we have had so much life in the last 15 years, moves and new jobs and new babies, and sick babies and pandemics, it is certainly longer than 15 years??
To celebrate this year, we did not have the luxury of my mom to watch our children overnight, so we decided to knock out a bucket list item: taking the Eatran up to Horrocks!
The Eatran is a lovely bus service here in our county that will pick us up at our house and drive us to anywhere in the county. They only run 6-6 M-F so Billy had never been on them. So, a few weeks in advance, I called to set up a ride.
They were to pick us up at our house around 11am and drop us off at a hibachi grill for lunch. We would then walk to Horrocks where we could appreciate the biergarten, then we would walk over and have an early dinner at a crab restaurant, where they would collect us around 5:30pm.
We were not the only ones aboard, but aside from a single other passenger, it was just us.
Everything we ordered at Ukai was very good!
We were going to stop into Buffalo Wild Wings for old time's sake, but they were closed for remodeling, so we walked next door to Frank's. They were building up for March Madness on all the screens, but they did have Shiner!!
After we finished our drinks, we walked down to Horrock's and shopped. I took a few pictures for the kids.
I asked one of my Michigander friends if this were the definitive map, since people made fun of me for saying Mt. Pleasant was "up north." (I feel like Mt. Pleasant is somewhere between the t in north and the t in west.)
We had just discussed topiaries in school, and so when I saw this flower shaped tree in the biergarten, I sent a picture to my children. = )
We ran out of time to eat at the crab place, but the Eatran was waiting for us by the time we crossed the street.
At home I was finally able to snap one picture of us on the outside of the bus. = )
Billy bought me the Poirot series on DVD which I have been thoroughly enjoying, and I bought him some subway gift cards. = )
I am so happy to be adventuring through life with my favorite person!
