Update: Can you guess?

Because I Love You Roses...

"Good Morning, Sweetness... Happy Anniversary. It has been six GREAT years. I Love You!"

Our Anniversary date started with lunch at my favorite sushi bar, Blue Nami. When you walk into this sushi bar, you will hear the chef say "Irrasshaimase," which means "welcome to our establishment." Eating there is such a unique experience. It's almost like stepping into the traditions and culture of Tokyo, Japan.

This picture was taken from our table side. The owner personally chef's his sushi bar. And he crafts his own tables, chairs, and waterfalls in his restaurant. Peaceful ambiance.

Sushi rolls: Chef's, James Bond, and Jason.

"Arigato goziamashita" Thank you very much!

"Gochi soo sama deshita" Really enjoyed the food.

After lunch, we headed downtown towards Old Sacramento and the K Street Mall. Walked around, people watched, shopped a little... then caught a movie. BATMAN. We both thought it was a great movie. There was an eeriness watching Heath Ledger play the Joker, the villian, for obvious reasons. BUT let me say, he played the character very WELL! Wouldn't be surprised if he wins the Oscars for that performance.

And to end the evening, we had a nice, quiet dinner of seafood at Fat City in Old Sacramento. (Our first dinner date together was here at Fat City.)

Thanks, Gramma Jackie for watching the kids for us so we could celebrate our 6th Anniversary!

My wife and I were surfing the TV channels tonight... stopping to briefly watch Celebrity Family Fued. The celebrities were asked to: Name something men forget that women don't. One correct response was "Anniversary." Sharleen looks over at me asking (ahem), "Honey, When is our Anniversary?" After pausing for a moment, I replied "The same great day that I married you six years ago."

It turns out that our anniversary is THIS weekend, July 20th. Celebrating 45 Years, or so it seems. (Last year, she was 9 months pregnant with our son and due anyday. So we did not venture too far from the hospital. Braden was born 6 days later.)

Can you guess how we will decide to spend our 6th wedding anniversary?

a. Dinner: Rudy's Hide Away and a Movie: Get Smart.

b. Drive to the beach with the kids.

c. Go to the Silver Legacy and SLEEP for a few hours.

d. Stroll, hand-in-hand, around Old Sacramento and dinner by the River.

e. Fly to Edmonton, Canada to shop.

f. Night on the town in Vegas.

g. Spa day and a professional SF Giants ballgame.

h. Something spontaneous.

i. Just another day.

j. Other __________________

Any other suggestions???
