Actually my Wife and I celebrating an early anniversary sans kids at the Sonoma, Girl and the Fig Restaurant after a long day of massages and other luxuries at the Sonoma Mission Inn. Here is a pic that our waiter took. Of course I had my camera on me. He walks up and is like "DUDE, nice camera!" "Is that the 20D?" "Man that thing is like $5000 with the Grip right?!?!" OMG! Should have seen the look on my wifes face! LOL, but not at the time. Errr...NO I stammered, not even close. Maitre D' come here! Can we change waiters? LOL. Come to find out that the guy was a canon enthusiast looking to save enough for his own DSLR. Was pretty easy getting him to take our pic. He even understood CF-4. Hard part was getting him to hand the cam back over. LOL Thought it turned out ok, and it allows me to ost a first pic of my wife to POTN. Great dinner.

Oh NO... now we got a face, next time you have a creative thinking about hiding the new purchases, we got a picture stuck in our heads.

Joking aside, she's fine looking young lady, and Happy Anniversary.
