Happy 3 Year Anniversary!!!

Yesterday, May 29th, marked our 3rd wedding anniversary. We started our day with the hotel buffet breakfast than a stroll to do some shopping. I discovered a great shop called Maroon off of Hang Gai street, which I now like to refer to as Vietnam Pottery Barn. They had great place mats, table runners, bed spreads, pillow covers, etc. It was definitely the linen area of pottery barn and everything looked so nice with deep reds & greens. I bought a few items and lots of red to decorate the dining table for Vietnamese New Year celebrations!



We were then picked up by Mom & a large group of our family to be taken out for lunch. The restaurant had small rattan type tables and we sat at squatting level while we dined on fried tofu, green vegetables, spring rolls, and VN pancakes. We had a great time. Our entire day consisted of shopping, going to the hotel to cool off, going out to eat, then back to hotel to cool, then out to shop, .... a vicious cycle all day of eating, shopping, and cooling off. It has been terribly hot. Thank God for air conditioning in our hotel room.



Mom took us out for a nice dinner for our anniversary celebration. We had authentic Hanoi fish cooked at the table in a small skillet and served with fresh vegetables. Come to find out the authentic fish is catfish, so the South Georgia girl in me felt right at home.



It was quite an enjoyable anniversary minus the heat. When we said I do 3 years ago on Jekyll Island Georgia, I never dreamed we'd be in VN 3 years later, just days away from having our baby home forever. Couldn't think of a better way to start our next year of marriage!
