When we checked into the resort we were informed that they had given us an upgrade to a room with a partial lake view. This was our partial view and we enjoyed it. Our room was on the 17th floor with only the Penthouse above us. Sunday was a beautiful day.
As the sun was setting…
We enjoyed our restaurant experience at Beverly’s on the 7th floor of the resort. We started with Calamari. I ordered a salad and French Onion Soup and Dear ordered the Rib-Eye and shared some of the meat with me.
This over the top ice cream surrounded by cotton candy arrived at our table with Happy Anniversary wishes.
After my dessert drink arrived our server informed us that our meal had been paid for by our children. They had called the restaurant ahead of time to arrange that. We were so surprised and grateful for their thoughtfulness. Brought tears to my eyes.
After dinner we got our coats and gloves on to go out and walk along the docks to enjoy the extensive Christmas lights that the Resort puts up. It was well below freezing so we kept walking with few pauses.
The following collages will give you an idea of what we saw.
The interior of the hotel was nicely decorated as well.
This could be a good alternative for a Santa photo in this year of no sitting on Santa’s lap.
On Tuesday morning we watched the sun come up or tried to see the sunrise but soon the fog rolled in and socked us in. These two shots of the water taxi and looking east toward Montana were the clearest shots of the morning.
The hotel staff and restaurant staff all wore masks. Overall our Anniversary was wonderful and it was refreshing to get a night away and to be served a delicious meal in a fine restaurant.
On our drive home we made a few stops at HomeGoods, Harbor Freight, and TJMaxx.
Thank you to everyone for all your kind Anniversary wishes.

That sounds like a perfect celebration. And if that is a ‘partial ‘view I’d take it every time!

What a lovely anniversary experience for you both. It’s been 20 years or more since we stayed at that Hotel. You’ve reminded me that’s it’s time to go there again. Maybe next Christmas if these restrictions are gone by then. Those light displays are amazing.
Happy Anniversary! What a beautiful and memorable way to celebrate despite a pandemic. You children sure know how to share the joy even in their absence. A precious gift indeed. 🙂

Belated Happy Anniversary wishes! A safe and beautiful place to celebrate …what a great choice. Great views, beautiful room, Christmas decorations, and delicious looking food.
