Jeff and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend as we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. Our actual anniversary is on August 12, but why not celebrate a little early!
August 12, 2006
First stop- Mystic Lake Casino
We got there around 5 and ate at the buffet. Then we played some games... yes, I won a whopping $4.55! I had lots of fun playing Deal or No Deal! We won't talk about Jeff's luck!
The reason we went to Mystic Lake- The Xtreme Muzik Concert with Big and Rich and Gretchen Wilson. They played at the new outdoor ampitheater.
It was a beautiful evening and the concert was very entertaining! We stayed at the Park Plaza in Bloomington on Friday night.
Saturday morning we drove to beautiful Stillwater. We stayed at the Water Street Inn right next to the St. Croix river. We had a beautiful 2 room suite in a very historic building (from the 1890s).
We enjoyed a great view of the lift bridge from our private balcony.
Ahhh, relaxing!
Going up!
Lots of boats out on the river.
We enjoyed a Trolley Tour Saturday evening. We were able to hear more about the city's interesting history and saw so many beautiful mansions.
A great view of the river valley from way up high!
We spent time on Saturday walking around the shops downtown and of course eating lots of great food! : )
We walked up (and down) 157 stairs to get the view of downtown and the river. (Stillwater has 3 big staircases to get from the top of the hills to the main street and river.)
Happy Anniversary Jeff!
