Happy 24th Anniversary !!

I decided early on that I was going to do something this year for our Anniversary that would "SURPRISE" Damian !! Let me tell you, its NOT EASY to do that task but, still I decided to forge ahead and see what I could find and figure out . While on the "net" one day, I found a website advertising  a "Dinner Cruise" so after digging around a bit and, some research I thought this sounded PERFECT.  1st I called and found out how to make reservations , costs and everything, then I called and got a sitter for Miss. Mandy ! As soon as those 2 things were firmed up, I called Damian's boss and asked her assistance in giving him the day off  ! I am happy to announce, everything was made   and set just PERFECT and he still had NO idea !!! Since I don't drive, I had to load into the GPS where it was we were going, and creatively name it, so  only I understood it :) !  The night we went, was also,  a special night with a couple of  radio personalities, providing  the music !  SO fun !  below, are just a few of the pictures of our wonderful night on Shasta Lake . NOW, to come up with something just as fun  or BETTER for our 25th !

 
The Sign as we drove into the parking lot !! The road up was pretty twisty and curvy !! Damian said more than once " I'd hate to have a couple of beers and try and drive this road in the dark !! 
There was a "Patio" to wait on, for the boat to come in and pick us up ! The boat was full and EVERYONE had so much FUN!!!


We waited patiently for our  boat , The "Cavern Queen"



The Staff was wonderful and SO accomodating  to make sure each guest had a FANTASTIC  time

Here are just a few pictures of them ! I didn't  get pictures of everyone  :( !





Above are a few of our servers  and below  is another server along with Matt, the  General manager. !


and we wouldn't have been able to go out on the Lake if  we  had not  been  provided a smooth and wonderful drive ! 



Not only was this a  dinner Cruise to celebrate our 24th wedding Anniversary but it was one, that personalities  Billy and Patrick from local country radio station  KNCQ97 FM  were on  to provide a little entertainment !


in this picture the both of them, were trying to name off everyone on the boat and, they did a fine job too
Passing with flying colors !

The Cruise itself was a little over 2 hours on the Lake , and as the sun started to set, I wanted to be sure and get some great shots, and so hoped that they would turn out  :)  happy to report, that they did !!




The young lady below, was absolutely entertaining  and, when I asked her if I could take her picture, she struck a pose !!





We had a wonderful Anniversary AND this Cruise was just a highlight !!!
