Tonight, for our 7th wedding anniversary, we went out for a romantic dinner, and then walked on the beach, kissed by the shore, and took the long way home.
Well, our version of this romantic story is this: we went to Skip's in Merrimac, an old-fashioned burger joint that sells its burgers flat and greasy and with a heaping side of curly fries. It's become a tradition for us, since one aimless anniversary when we were broke (as usual and as we are this year) and didn't plan ahead... our road trip took us to this happy place and we've gone back every year since then. It's not fancy and it suits us perfectly.
After that we went to Plum Island to walk the beach and look at the sunset. We got there just in time to see the pretty colors but the tide was high and the sand was damp- and cold. So, we did some requisite beach kissing and headed for home, stopping for snacks on our way.
Now we're back in our favorite spots in the living room, in our jammies and cozied up for the night.
Thing is, all our days and nights are pretty great, so there's no need to go all out on the anniversary- it's great to remember where we were 7 years ago today, but it's even better being here now.

Happy Anniversary!
As humble and low-key as you view your anniversary to be, every year you tack onto that number is a powerful and important public proclamation - and reason for the rest of the world to be inspired. Sad to think that there are people in this world who can't imagine seven years. Nice to see you have accomplished it so gracefully.
Congratulations.
ps: just think, in 18 more years you might get your picture taken with the Cardinal - and get to go to St. Lucia too! (with your Hubby - not the Cardinal)
Happy number 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Anniversary! Sounds like an awesome night.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
