We&#8217;re staying here for the night!&#8221; \u00a0I was utterly confused. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t know what was happening. \u00a0But it turned out that the evening before when Seth &#8220;went to get pictures of the sunset while the light was still good&#8221; he was really booking it down the beach to make a reservation at the nice hotel for our anniversary night. \u00a0Amazing. \u00a0I have the best husband ever, hands down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"hotelEssque.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sethandberkley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hotelEssque.jpg\" alt=\"hotel essque\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"hotelEssqueHut.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sethandberkley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hotelEssqueHut.jpg\" alt=\"hot essque hut\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, we spent the day and evening lounging around the super fancy resort. \u00a0Having drinks at the pool, lunch on the jetty out in the water, and a four course dinner, which had an added bonus of a rowdy kiswahili song and cake which, I think was their version of &#8216;happy anniversary&#8217; or something like that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"hotelSunset.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sethandberkley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hotelSunset.jpg\" alt=\"hotel sunset\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This morning we had a beautiful breakfast with delicious coffee, charcuterie, fruit, and steak and eggs. \u00a0And it was an amazing surprise of an anniversary that I will definitely remember.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although this may seem quite obvious I&#8217;d love to share a story of one of the many reasons I know this is true.
