On August 10th we celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. We took our annual anniversary trip this weekend. We were able to get away overnight and had a great time! We went to Charlottesville on Friday and went to a spa, dinner, and a movie. On Saturday we took our rental 1957 red convertible Triumph TR3 for a tour through the Blue Ridge Mountains. We had a great time driving on winding country roads, up the mountains and back down. We stopped several times for pictures, a quick hike to the lower Crabtree falls, lunch at Gerti's Country Store (it was just as quaint as it sounds), and at a gift shop to watch a glass blowing demonstration. It was a really good, relaxing day and we had a blast driving the car! We drew more attention to ourselves than I like, but it was worth it! We loved the car, but we also appreciate the modern amenities in our cars - like windows, heat and A/C, music, comfortable seats, power steering, and a working speedometer!

One of the cool pictures Mike took of the reflection in the side view mirrors.

How fun! Congratulations! I do like the picture of you in the rearview.
So fun! You look awesome Sally.
What a great weekend. Happy Anniversary. I love the pics of you and Mike with the car. I also love your sunglasses.
Wow.
On so many levels!
1 - I can't believe you get away every year. Especially with 4 kids. That is so awesome. What a special tradition.
2 - That car. How FUN! That trip is the coolest idea I've ever heard. What inspired you to rent that car?
3 - The rearview picture of you is awesome. You should have taken the whole trip wearing a 1950's housewife dress. =)
Congratulations on your 9th anniversary.
wow,wow,wow!! Beautiful pictures and I LOVE the car! Our 10 year anniversary was on August 11th, I didn't realize that our days were so close. I guess because I didn't get to attend yours. Congratulations! Way to celebrate.
How fun! Now Ross is determined that we need to do the same!
Great pictures!
