In the meantime, let me take a few minutes to show you how my husband and I spent our anniversary last Thursday ... in Barrow, Alaska ... the northernmost point in the United States.
Yes, Folks, those are chunks of ice! (I was told that the water temperature was about 34 degrees. It was cloudy, and windy, and the air temperature was about 50.)
While we were planning this trip, one of our goals was to find a way to get across the Arctic Circle. As it developed, this plan evolved from a step across the line at the Arctic Circle into a day trip to Barrow ... dipping our feet into the frigid water of the Arctic OCEAN.
It's a coincidence that our adventure in Barrow fell on the day of our anniversary. To mark the occasion, we HAD to take pictures as we waded in the frigid water.
Thirty-two years together ... and I love this man more every day!
Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!!
