Happy Second Anniversary to Us!

We celebrated a day early by spending the day in Dahlonega an hour away in the north Georgia mountains. The day began with Mass at St. Luke's right there in town. Then we meandered two blocks to have breakfast at the Corkscrew Cafe. Here is John enjoying a little zucchini bread muffin.
For a time at breakfast, John was heartily entertained by a game in which I would give him my empty camera case, he would squeeze it through the leg hole of the high chair, and then I would grab it away with a funny noise.

Unfortunately I embarrassed my poor husband at breakfast. You see, I had spent the last 15 minutes of Mass outside with the baby, so I missed the farewell given to the pregnant choir director. At breakfast in the very cozy cafe, I spent quite a few minutes telling Chris the aspects I didn't like about the Mass . . . all the while seated 30 inches away from what turned out to be the pregnant choir director. Chris kept trying to cast me glances (shut up shut up!), but I was clueless.

After breakfast, we poked around some stores, including a fun antique shop, before taking our first-ever horse and carriage ride (John was asleep).
After visiting some more stores, we toured the Gold Museum, where we ran into our next door neighbors! What a small world.

Today was a lot more relaxing than last year's anniversary, which we spent at home, alternating eating our take-out dinners and pacing around with a screaming six-week-old John!
