I have a few minutes right now so here is a quick one.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend Alan and I took a long overdue weekend getaway! Friday night we drove to Burlington for a sweet, grownup weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Did I even blog about that?! I&#8217;ve been slacking. We celebrated 16 years last week! That&#8217;s a long time! Not as long as the 36 that my parents celebrated though. :)<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 303px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160506_200620.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"20160506_200620.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160506_200620.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"293\" height=\"520\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">We had to pull over for this beautiful sunset!

I think we watched Friends. :) Arguably about the same level of quality as TTG!<\/p>\n<p>The next morning we took a long walk along Lake Champlain. It was a perfect day and the lake is just beautiful!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 303px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160507_091921.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"20160507_091921.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160507_091921.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"293\" height=\"520\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan at the end of a long, narrow, rocky pier we walked out.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160507_094323.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"20160507_094323.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160507_094323.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">I&#8217;m so pretty. :)<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160507_102722.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"20160507_102722.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160507_102722.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burlington is a great city and so pretty.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After our walk we went back to the hotel for showers, then headed up to the Church Street area. We had lunch at the Vermont Pub &amp; Brewery, on the deck, overlooking a hopping farmers market in City Hall Park. After lunch we wandered around the market, then up a few blocks to wander around Church Street. We bought souvenirs for ourselves and others and checked out each restaurant as we passed, looking for a good dinner option.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/img_20160507_132207.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_20160507_132207.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/img_20160507_132207.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" height=\"554\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hahaha&#8230; oh, Vermont!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/img_20160507_141932.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_20160507_141932.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/img_20160507_141932.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">This t-shirt made us laugh on our anniversary trip. :)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We ended up back at the hotel for a quick rest, then off to the Vermont Comedy Club to see some stand-up comedy.
