Road Trip Photo of the Day: PEI National Park

I love this photo for three reasons.  One, it is better than any of our wedding photos–though to be fair, our wedding photos really sucked.

Two, I took it myself.  One shot, using the timer with the camera balanced on the unmanned lifeguard stand.  I don’t have live view on my camera (and couldn’t bend in a way that allowed me to look through the viewfinder), so I had no idea how it would be framed until after it was taken.  I hit the shutter button and ran over and kissed him.  It is perfect.

And three, it proves a very important point.  Many people expressed concern for our marriage when we decided to take a month-long road trip–ourselves included.  We’ve been living in very close quarters and spending many hours together in a very small car whilst being pelted by rain on Canadian highways.  But do we still love each other?  You bet.  Even more than when we left.
