Our Anniversary Dinner on the Beach

We have taken turns planning anniversary celebrations. Some have been fancy, like the trip to the Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach (they have now changed ownership) for 3 days on their Concierge Floor, while others less so. But each has been special in its own way!

One of the most fun was this catered dinner on the beach in Cardiff that my wife arranged with a friend of ours who is a personal chef. It was an amazing multi-course meal, complete with chairs, table, and beach towels on a glorious July night. It was a complete surprise for me!!

Ironically it was July 28th 10 years ago, so it’s fitting to share this Throwback Thursday today as we run off to Vivace at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort for a celebratory dinner tonight!

Hi Bill Roberts

Thank you. Yesterday was about us as a group. I suppose if the topic had come up I would haven't mentioned but otherwise it seemed a little out of place! But I appreciate the well wishes. Very lucky indeed.
