Anthony & Megan’s 1st Date - Tony’s at the J House. This 1st photo of us together was actually taken on our 2nd date, but at the location of our 1st date. On our 1st date we learned that we both LOVE espresso martinis, and the ones from our 1st date at Tony’s at the J House were fantastic! Since we didn’t want our 2nd date to end too soon, we extended it by going back to Tony’s at the J House to indulge in their espresso martinis once more. We’ve been on the search for the perfect espresso martini ever since!

Celebrating our 1st Anniversary with a weekend of adventuring in NYC!

B.P. (Before Proposal) Megan’s Christmas present from Anthony was a weekend away at an Autocamp. This was the most relaxing trip ever. We stayed in an Airstream in the peaceful Catskills where we cooked all of our meals on an open fire outside. Megan made the fires - Anthony cooked the meals. Megan had no clue what was coming next…

Landed in Lisbon! Megan actually got Anthony to get on a plane and join her and her family in Portugal! We started our Portuguese adventure with a few wonderful days in Lisbon.

Anthony takes Megan to where his mom’s family is from - Chaves, Portugal. We got to see his grandparents house, eat some of the best steak we have ever had, visit a castle, and take in the incredible views. The ride to Chaves was one of the most gorgeous, scenic rides we have ever taken.
