Happy Anniversary

On Thursday April 21 Shane and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. What a start the day got off to! We were sitting at breakfast and I looked over to the right and couldn't believe my eyes, it was DREW BREES and his family just a few feet from us! Since we had the opportunity a couple years ago to meet him and get a photo op we resisted hurrying over to his table and gushing about what BIG Saints fans we are (it did take some willpower though lol). So we coincidentally got up just after they did and exited the restaurant ;)  We quietly approached him, not wanting to cause a scene, and told him how we were fans, etc...He was so super nice (as we had learned before). We got to meet the new addition & they wished us a "Happy Anniversary." It was a incredible start to our big day!

After breakfast (and Brees encounter) we headed out to the beach. The beach at the resort was called Shipwreck beach. The waves were pretty big, about 10 feet. Not a good spot for swimming, so we watched the surfers. The waves were so big and rough it split one surfers board in half. Next, got some lunch and I headed off to my massage. I had a lomi lomi massage scheduled at the Anara spa. It was wonderful. I chose the lomi lomi massage. Lomi lomi is the ancient Hawaiian massage art form, a perfect selection for massage when visiting the Aloha state! Rachel was my massage therapist. It was fantastic!!

When my massage was over I headed back towards the room, with plans to shower and get ready for our dinner at the Beach House restaurant...those plans were derailed by an unsettled tummy, that eventually led to my being sick until 1am. Needless to say the reservations had to be cancelled and I set up camp in the room for the next day...
