celebrating ten wonderful years

Posted by: blissfule In: Bunbury ()

For our tenth wedding anniversary, Ben planned a mini holiday at a surprise location. He kept me guessing right 'til the last minute by packing our passports, but it turned out he had a road trip in mind!
 
We drove down Australia's beautiful southwest coast to our destination: an amazing seaside mansion near Bunbury. As we basked in our surroundings, I began to contemplate the luxury of living in a home that is not attached to someone else's house. This would be a first in our ten years of marriage and could be a possibility for us if we stay in Australia.

During our three-night stay, we explored the surrounding region which includes a cheese factory, award-winning winery with an excellent restaurant, an old-growth forest, and places to run and play near Busselton Jetty.

We enjoyed a sunset walk just outside our house and Ben took our favourite tenth anniversary photo with the sun setting over the Indian Ocean as the backdrop.

A beautiful finale to the first ten years of our marriage, brimming with promise for the decades to come!
