Our Anniversary

Jun 11, 2007 10:50


Erik and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary as husband and wife on the 28th of May. We actually took most of the weekend to celebrate. It’s great having your anniversary on Memorial Day. We had three days to hang out and do a little packing too (more on the move later).

On Saturday, the 26th, Erik and I went to see the Snoqualmie Falls. It was beautiful, and the weather was really nice. After the Falls, some walking around and perusing the gift shop, we had an amazing dinner at The Dining Room in the Salish Lodge. The lodge is right next to the Falls, and our dinner table had the perfect view looking right down to it. We were seated in the back corner by the window. It was secluded with a beautiful view…just perfect.

We had the best service and the food was entertaining and excellent. Even the water was fancy! I started out with a salad and Erik tried the Pear Sampler. Pear prepared in 4 different ways. I didn’t realize you could do more than just wash and eat. ;-) He loved it!! Our meal was for two, and was prepared right in front of us. It was called Oregon Country Beef Roast “Chateaubriand” with yukon gold potatoes anna and bérnaise sauce. Delicious!!

The presentation for each meal was stunning, and the dessert was no different. My Candied Lemon Crème Brûlé with Strawberry Lime Sorbet came out on a long rectangular dish with four small squares of Crème Brûlé and decorative scoops of the sorbet atop. Sitting on the middle scoop of the sorbet was a lime green spiral of sugar…it was really neat! Erik’s dessert came in a huge white bowl. It was a mound of truffle covered in dark chocolate with huckleberry sorbet. He loved it!

We plan to go again, but next time we’ll be staying at the Salish Lodge. If the lodge is anywhere near as impressive as the restaurant we are in for a treat. J

It was a wonderful weekend to celebrate our 2 years of marriage and 8 years of togetherness. We’re so happy it almost makes us sick. J
