Dearest Marita,
Happy 28th Anniversary! And Happy 33rd Anniversary too!
Hard to believe that these many years have passed since we met at EDF. So what to do this time to celebrate? Well, these are the options I’ve lined up:
- A visit to the North Fork Long Island wineries (click here to see a great list of wineries)
- A day at a quiet New Jersey beach (click here to see our options)
- A day at Hyde Park
We could go to Avalon, Long Beach Island or Asbury Park for the beach. They’re supposedly very quiet and secluded. We just have to decide which to go to first – beach on Saturday and bed and breakfast near the beach, or wine tour first?
Here’s an interesting option – we could even go visit a lavender farm on the North Fork and pick lavender ourselves! So we don’t even have to go to Provence to see a lavender field. I just hope they haven’t harvested everything yet.
Then there’s Hyde Park. Actually, I added this option after you got the reservation at Village Square) 
I’m really looking forward to seeing the historical sites, mansions and the CIA. There are a couple of wineries near CIA that we could visit. Even if we can’t get a table at the CIA, we can enjoy the fare at the Cascade Mountain Winery & Restaurant.
Anyway – whatever we decide, I’m really looking forward to traveling with you again! I will bring some books so that I can read aloud at night before we sleep.
BTW – we can go to the other places on Long Island and NJ next time 
. You’ll still have a chance to hear the surf and walk on the beach. I look forward to those trips too . . .
I love you very much.
Love,
Leo
