Mike and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past Tuesday! We took the day off to go to Newport, RI but Mother Nature had other ideas {yet again, after spoiling us trying to go their for my bday last month}.
We made the best of our day still since all that matters is that we were together {cue cheesy music} :)
We started our day at the Rave Cinemas to see Finding Nemo in 3d. I saw it once before when it was first out on video and am trying to introduce Mike to all of the Disney movies so this was a good choice for a date. The movie was super cute - my favorite is still Dory (voice by Ellen DeGeneres).
Then we went and had lunch at Pepe's Pizza. It's been years since either of us has been to the New Haven location and we've never been together.
We had a pizza with pepperoni, onions and garlic - super yummy!
Our next stop was Sugar Bakery {winner of Food Network's Cupcake Wars a few years ago}. My sister introduced us to this bakery for our wedding cupcakes and now it's a favorite place to go. My sister even works there now! She was there on Tuesday and was sweet to add the "Happy Anniversary" to one of our cupcakes.
And finally - our anniversary dinner. Made at home by dear hubby since the weather was a bit rough to be out driving around. I had seen a recipe for Chicken Ranch Pasta that morning on the Plain Chicken blog, so we stopped at the store after the bakery and picked up the ingredients. Overall it was tasty but I think next time we make this we won't take shortcuts. We used Perdue Shortcuts chicken and well it tasted like it came from a bag lol. We also used pre-cooked bacon and I think it would take a bit better with freshly cooked crisp bacon.
Sunday marks 5 years since our first date. I had Mike meet me at a fair on a Sunday afternoon and this year the fair falls on the same exact date/day it did 5 years ago so we are going to go back there and reminisce. :)
