Our first anniversary, we went to a very nice hotel an hour from home, and had reservations at a restaurant that served all kinds of exotic meat, from rattlesnake to...oh, things like gnu and wildebeest. The only thing was it was the opening night of the Pan Am Games, and the restaurant didn't honor our reservations and were out of our first 3 meal choices! Eventually we were served, with less-exotic food than we'd hoped for. But going up the elevator with Mohammed Ali, and finding he had the suite across from ours, kind of made up for it.
Second anniversary: went with our best friends (still best friends) on a camping vacation up the St. Laurence Seaway to Montreal and then down into upstate New York. We had a great meal at a restaurant on Lake Placid while they stayed back at the campsite to give us space, even though we asked them along. The food and views were fantastic. Two nights before, we'd camped on a peninsula that jutted out into the seaway with a lighthouse on it, and a fabulous view of Montreal.
A couple of years ago, for our 20th anniversary, we left the kids with the grandparents and walked down the road to a terrific restaurant on their bay. They live on a large lake with 5 bays, and there used to be a restaurant on the end that had been written up in food magazines. It had seating inside by a huge fireplace or in the bar; it had seating in a long, screened-in deck overlooking the bay and the largest part of the lake; and it had seating on the dock. People were pulling up all evening long in their boats to eat. We sat in the screened deck, looking down the lake where we could see the sunset. It was fabulous. They went under after October 2008, but the location is now open again as a pretty good Mexican place, serving food that costs 1/3 of the price. They're always crammed, just like the original place was.
Congrats on celebrating two years!

I celebrate the anniversary of my first date with my significant other.
This December 27th with be our sixth Anniversary and I'm hoping for a repeat of last year.
Last year we dined on crab legs while sipping rum and watching the sunset at a nice restaurant at the mouth of Dog River and Mobile Bay. Just like @tracebook's restaurant for her 20th, this place has a dock to pull up in your boat and eat. There is such a boat loving community here... I love it!
Nothing is more romantic than having the guy get excited about an Anniversary... so brownie points to Corey and my honey!

We've celebrated our anniversary doing everything from digging for diamonds in Arkansas to dining at Tavern on the Green in Central Park on the Upper West Side of New York City,sadly its now closed.
It's difficult to pick a favorite, but if I had to it would be our 25th anniversary which we enjoyed on Maui.
We began the day greeting the Sun as it rose from the top of Haleakala volcano,it was a beautiful sight and we just knew the day was going to be magical.
From there we made our way to the Blue Hawaiian heliport where we departed on a 4 hour tour of Maui and the island of Molokai, landing in a secluded spot near Hana, Maui where we enjoyed a private lunch.

From there we made our way into Lahaina where we visited the gallery of Christian Riese Lassen, bought a nice piece of his work that we both love,
had a cocktail and headed upcountry where we exchanged our vows once again at the Holy Ghost Catholic Church,in Kula.
Then we made it back to our cottage in time for dinner on the lanai and a few very old and sinfully good bottles of wine while we enjoyed the same Sun we had watched rise... slowly set.
It really was a perfect day with my perfect Lady.
Congrats on your second anniversary Corey I wish you 100 more.
I can't devulge my plans for this upcoming 39th anniversary as she might find out prematurely.

It was about 6 AM, and I got up to take the dog out, when I came back in, I had noticed he rolled over, me being grumpy and groggy made some snarky comment about him doing so and climbed back into bed. About 5 minutes later, he rolled over and I went to turn my head back for the good morning kiss and he had this AWFUL mask on, scared me clear into the other room. It was very unexpected, and I was a little ticked off, but he did feel bad afterwords which lead to a great rest of the day.
I guess he originally had planned to just take me to the Olive Garden, maybe a movie and back home. Instead we ate at a really fancy restaurant that was a few hundred feet in the air, almost like a mini, square Space Needle. We then went to a movie, then he took me out for this crazy fancy dessert, and took me shopping and ended up spending a few hundred more then he planned.
Needless to say by the end of the night I was no longer mad at him, and we had some to the agreement to not scare each other on our anniversary so there are no sour feelings throughout the day.

Congrats on 20 happy years together! All of your anniversaries sound exciting and memorable for lots of great reasons (I mean common, rattlesnake!) Can't wait to hear what how you celebrate the next one :-D
Yeah, everyone thinks of rattlesnake on their anniversary! :-) I was trying to find an actual picture of the lake restaurant to post, and the only ones I could find were of Obama and Biden eating burgers there. It didn't really show the restaurant or views, and gave a misleading idea of the usual cuisine (think Iron Chef or Giada diLaurentis). I think the burgers were picked because it's in a rural area in a flyover state. Or maybe they just wanted burgers. :-)
