For this week's theme, I decided to dig up a memory that wasn't attached to my children. I have fond memories of a trip Dave & I made between Christmas & New Year's in 2001. We went with 3 other friends to Split, Croatia (above, photo not mine, but I was sooooooo there!!). We traveled there from Budapest, HU by train. It was a long, long night on that old train!
At this point, Dave and I had only been together for about 4 months, and we were still getting used to one another. Our relationship was frought with long-distance woes, out-of-sight, out-of-mind miscommunications, and the usual twists & turns that two people face when they learn more and more about one another. I didn't quite know at this point if he was "the one", but I did know that I loved him. This trip was a great time of growth for us, I remember that. We had lots of good long talks as we explored the beautiful country of Croatia.
But back to the pictures. One sunny, chilly afternoon, we five friends decided to take several posed pictures amid the awesome backdrops we saw everywhere. We started posing for each picture like it was a record album cover. This one is my favorite. That's me in the foreground, feeling very sassy in my shades. And that's my Dave in the background. Steve & Danielle are in the middle. Neal took the picture. He is a very talented guy; I find myself modeling a lot of my photography after his.
One afternoon, we shopped in a cool outdoor market and had a picnic lunch overlooking the Adriatic. It was a great day (December 2001). See the full-sized version of this picture here (taken by Neal's camera on self-timer).
