20th Anniversary

Yes, it's been 20 years. August 18, 1990 we were married in Mesa Arizona. We celebrated our anniversary sitting in meetings at school preparing for the new year but the following Saturday we headed off to Hong Kong. Just the two of us. We started the day by going to the Hong Kong temple followed by lunch at an Italian Restaurant. We decided to just spend the rest of the day sight seeing in Hong Kong and went up the tram to the mall at the top of the mountain. The tram is the famous tram that was built in the early 1900's that goes up a very steep hill. The line was long and it was steaming hot waiting but we endured it anyway. It was fun just being together.

At the top of the mountain is a mall and we were dying of thirst so we quickly found McDonald's to get a drink. We were pleasantly surprised at the view. I don't think I have ever been at a McDonald's that has a terrace over looking the bay below. It was rather nice to just sit and enjoy the view....until....some rather obnoxious kids sat down next to us.

By Gavin's expression you can tell that this wasn't a good scene. The boy in the background sitting next to us was the biggest porker we had ever seen. He had a hamburger in one hand, chicken sandwich in the other and still was able to shove hand fulls of french fries in his mouth which drinking two different sodas. What was his mother thinking? Obviously nothing. She was clueless and it was pretty clear that this boy got to do WHATEVER he wanted. No rules, nothing.
We tried to get a picture but didn't want to be rude...
This is the view from the top of the tram. It was a clear beautiful day, just a little hot.


It was hard to get a picture of the tram that showed how steep it had to go coming up the mountain. While riding the tram you literally had to hang on if you were standing or you would slide backwards.

It was a great day just hanging out together in Hong Kong. Wonder where we will be next year to celebrate our anniversary!!!!
