If this isn't love.....

This September 12th God has blessed us with 10 years of marriage! We are thankful to him for his faithfulness to us through the hills and the valleys.

How did we celebrate.....A beautiful tour on the motorcycle through Letchworth State and around the Finger Lakes and a delicious two course meal....what more could you ask for!

Have a look....and try not to laugh to hard!

After much preparation and anticipation we woke up to cloudy skies and drizzle. After a short consultation we decided to give the trip a go.....on the bike....rather than in the van! We were optomistic....we hopped on the bike in our new leathers (ok, jeans and a jacket) and started our journey

....first stop...mom and dad's to drop off the kids stuff....in that first two minute drive the weather moved from drizzle to a light rain....ok, we were still optomistic....we put on our rain gear and waved goodbye....


I'm working on changing the stigma that comes with the title "motor bike chick".....instead of the tight leathers I'm pushing for a blend of cotton and plastic with a kind of michelin tire blow up doll effect....what do you think?

....in the next 5 minutes the weather took a turn....it moved from light rain to moderate rain. The man at the border passed us through with a little chuckle and we were thankful for our rain suits....

......in the next hour the rain gained momentum and was at a level 7 hard rain once we reached Letchworth State Park. The lady at the booth cautioned us to be careful on the slippery roads...

Shortly after Letchworth the weather once again took a turn for the worse.....level 10.....pouring cats and dogs! It stayed at this level for the rest of the four hour trip until we finally reached our destination!

You can imagine the hilarious picture we made as we walked into the hotel looking like drowned rats. We left puddles everywhere we stood and had to take our rain gear off in the lobby. Apparently our rain gear doesn't work in level 10 rain situations as we both looked like we drooled all day and peeed our pants so bad that our socks were wet!

Stranded in the rain, our anniversary dinner included a square burger at Wendy's, which was next door....we did manage however to get in a second course and went back for a lovely frosty!

Can't wait to see what our 20th will be like!
