Scenes from an anniversary

Yesterday Jon and I celebrated five years of being together. That is starting to really feel like some substantial time! I wonder if we will ditch that all together and start from scratch when we get married and start celebrating our wedding anniversary date? Fun tidbit: Our first date was on 06-06-06! 

Here's what a five year celebration looks like:

The card I got for Jon. Cute, huh? Maybe not the best choice for celebrating, say a 6 month mark in a relationship or something like that. 

But for 5 years, anythings game. He loved it.

After drinks, we ended up at Chez Panisse! Where we last were for my birthday, last July. As tempting as it is to hit up this place every year on your birthday, you are then only going to experience one season of food and similar menu choices (as amazing as they are). Even if its only one month difference?, you ask. Yep, because tomatoes are not largely in season yet and you do not find them on the menu yet. But in July, they will be going bananas with the amount of tomatoes on hand.

Some good eats, I don't need to list out every ingredient and what not. 

Just know that they were delicious and if you ever find 

yourself in the Bay Area, this place is a must.
