Happy Anniversary to Jeff and Carla

This anniversary post was from last week, but certainly qualifies as an Outdoor Wednesday post also! Be sure and check out the other wonderful outdoor posts at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/.
Three Years Ago our family was joined with the Pofahl Family from Minnesota.


When Jeff and Carla began making wedding plans, we had no idea that we would have such an adventure. Jeff spent 4 years in the Navy, and Carla grew up going to a Resort located on Lake Superior in Minnesota. It was a perfect match for them to get married on a ship off the shore of the resort. Plans began and so did the fun. Before we went to the ship, we took photos of the wedding party beside the resort.

The road at the bottom actually lifts up so the ship can go underneath. It was very cool.

We went out on the ship to have the wedding peformed out on Lake Superior.

The Captain of the ship performed the cermony inside where it was cooler.




It was a very warm day out on Lake Superior, which is kinda rare for that time of year. We planned for cool (compared to what we are used to in Kansas) and ended up with it being hot!




After the dinner, we had time to cruise and talk and reflect with our family and Carla's. It was peaceful and beautiful.
The Captain even let Mom drive! She seems to take her new responsibility VERY seriously.






There was much to look at and of course take photos of on the ship after we ate dinner. One of the above docks is like the one the the Edmond Fitzgerald left from on its fated voyage. Remember the song?



It was a great time, even though we had a car accident on the way home. No one was hurt except for the suburban, so all was well. We went places and saw things we hadn't seen before, so it was a success. Plus, we got to see our son get married. Once again Happy Anniversary kids!

    Beautiful and fun!! I couldnt help but notice your lyric from the Carpenters song I too so adaore. Such a short but poingant song.

    LOL now you have me singing it in my head... "And I think about those people who mean so much to me

    And for so many years have made me so very happy

    And I count the times I have forgotten to say thank you

    And just how much I love them." LOL i think...
