14 years and counting...

It was our 14th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. It's always funny to see the shocked looks on people's faces when I tell them how long we have been married. What makes it even funnier, is that I actually wasn't all that young when we got married - I was just shy of 23. Which wouldn't be considered young at all to earlier generations... Anyway, we went sailing on the bay yesterday as our anniversary celebration, and then to dinner in the new Docklands area of Melbourne. The weather was absolutely perfect - sunny but not too hot, with just enough wind to keep us moving along at about 16 knots, without it being too dramatic (apparently the day before they had 25 knot winds and it was bit hairy). We got some lovely views of the city skyline throughout the afternoon. Melbourne does have a nice skyline... lots of interesting new architecture has gone up recently. It has grown a lot in the last few years. We drove over that bridge on the way home... and then under the river through the tunnel as well. It seemed odd that we had been on the water, over the water, and under the water in one afternoon :) .

It would have been close to a perfect day if I hadn't managed to get sunburnt, through the long sleeved shirt I was wearing. *Sigh* I was so careful, reapplying sunscreen and wearing a hat - unfortunately, the relative merits of fine cotton as a sun barrier didn't occur to me. A day spent on the water for me always ends badly - I just cant be trusted out in the sun. I think Jason will make me where a full body snow suit or something next time....

Oh well, off to apply more Aloe Vera....
