Since we spent our honeymoon at Big Bear Lake, we decided to celebrate our 1 year anniversary (a day early) at another lake. This time, we visited Lake Cuyamaca, just south of Julian. We enjoyed some marvelous Austrian food at the Lake Cuyamaca Restaurant, right on the edge of the lake. Jonathan insisted that we go somewhere for our anniversary where we could see the stars, so we asked the waitress at the restaurant where we should go to see the stars. She recommended a place just up the road, where they offer a professional "Star Tour". After it was dark, we got to spend an hour in a small observatory checking out star clusters, a nebula, and even Saturn! Since we were far from any city lights, we could see millions of stars, even without a telescope. For me, it was definitely one of those "wow" moments when you are reminded of just how small you are, and also how much wonder and beauty surrounds us all the time.
Well, Jonathan got his stars, I got my Wienerschnitzel and we both enjoyed a wonderful anniversary. Can't wait for the next one!
