Yesterday was our seventh anniversary. At last, a day of celebration without one or both of us having some sort of viral infection!

So we did the usual anniversary stuff: We visited Celestial Park, where we were married, drove past some of the old haunts down in that area, and then went to dinner.

I always enjoy going back to Celestial Park, but it is so different now. The park isn't kept up as nice as it was back then, and there is usually someone loitering around the sundial (much like we do).

We visited the two apartment complexes where we lived as newlyweds, and they are really run down now. They may have been less than stellar while we lived there, but now they would be out of the question. I don't think it's a matter of us being used to nicer surroundings, I think the area has just gone to the dogs. Sorry, dogs.
