....our wedding anniversary is officially August 20th. Our son and daughter-in-law told us they would treat Mr. Outback and I to dinner out while in Alaska in honor of our 50th wedding anniversary. Other than having heard about Seven Glaciers Restaurant on top of Mt. Alyeska, south of Anchorage, we had no idea what actually dining there would be like.
It was the most memorable evening ever...we arrived at the Alyeska Resort at the base of the mountain and made our way to the gates of the tramway that would take us 2300 ft. up.
What a stunning perspective as we smoothly ascended, being passed on the opposite side by the other tram heading down the mountain...oh to be an eagle and fly!
When we reached the top, we stepped out onto the platform and looked down at the valley below and across to the Cook Inlet and mountain range.
We were escorted to the dining room accompanied by Happy Anniversary wishes from the staff (our son had planned ahead when making reservations)....
...mesmerized by the jaw dropping views below and around us as we were seated...
And savored a long, leisurely dinner - first over glasses of wine and delicate crab cake appetizers..
An elegant scallop bisque soup was presented along with our entrees and for dessert, Baked Alyeska....

Congratulations on your Anniversary. Our 50th is the 30th of September. He was in the Navy for 22 years so I know what you mean about moves and separations. Beautiful views for your dinner.

For some reason reading your post made me want to cry-i think for joy and happiness as you would at something really heartfelt. Congratulations on 50 years-our 43rd is next in line for us. What a lovely anniversary dinner from the tram ride (I'm jealous), to the lovely scenery, and a scrumptious dinner with chocolates (I'm jealous). What a ride it has been!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful celebration! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMany, many best wishes to both of you. The views are stunning and the food has my stomach rumbling. A live well lived with a loving partner is quite a reward and you have earned it. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteHowever did I miss this?! A belated, but heartfelt Happy Anniversary to the two of you! You celebrated in a way that not many can even imagine but one that is close to your hearts. I wish you two many, many more adventures, anniversaries and good times!
