Our Anniversary, The Eternal Flame, and Games With the Elders

Janna and I celebrated our ten year anniversary on Friday July 11th, and Saturday July 12th. I had to work at the Hospital on Friday, so Friday night we stayed home, ate Pizza from Wegman's, and watched Hellboy (believe it or not this movie was not chosen by me). On Saturday we went to the Eternal Flame Falls, which is a small waterfall that is about 20 feet in height. Behind the waterfall is a small cave that leaks natural gas. Every year in the spring the first hikers that travel to the water fall reach behind the water and light the gas (it is much safer than it sounds). The hike is quite enjoyable. A well marked and shaded path leads the way through some beautiful scenery. It is an easy hike that is about 1 1/2 miles round trip, and only 30 minutes from our home (another reason to come and see us).
After the falls we went out to eat at La Tolteca, which is easily the best Mexican food that we have found in this area. We had a great anniversary, and look forward to many, many more.
As a side note, Elder Wilson from Arizona (companion of the ever boastful Elder Di Iulio, our previous victim) was the latest Scotland Yard victim. The game did not last very long, so we followed Scotland Yard up by beating them both at a game of Settlers of Catan. Better luck next time!

Eternal Flame Falls is one of our favorite places! I am glad the flame was lit when you went. The first time we went it wasn't lit and we had no idea where to look.

It was so fun! We had a great time. We are planning on taking the girls out there soon to see it.
