Julia Roberts and her husband, Danny Moder, opted for a quiet celebration for their 23rd wedding anniversary.
The couple reconnected with nature to mark over two decades as man and wife, and Julia gave fans a peek at their intimate vacation with a photo on Instagram.
Happy anniversary
Despite their multi-million-dollar fortunes, Julia and Danny appear to have opted to go camping to mark their anniversary and the Fourth of July.
In the photo, the couple's feet can be seen as they stretch out in their tent while looking out at the river and hilltop views.
Captioning the post, Julia sweetly penned: "You + Me = 23."

Julia and Danny met on the set of The Mexican back in 2002. Both were in relationships at the time, as Julia was dating Miss Congeniality star Benjamin Bratt, and Daniel was married to make-up artist Vera Steimberg.
But both relationships fizzled before they became a couple, with Julia previously stating: "He sorted his whole thing out, separate and apart from me."

The pair tied the knot in 2002 after Danny proposed with an emerald engagement ring worth a reported $4,000 – a modest price compared to other celebrity engagement rings.
They wed at Julia's 82-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico, but none of their guests knew they were attending their wedding until they arrived.

Julia didn't opt for a big, bold dress either and kept it simple. At the time, People reported that she wore "a pale pink cotton halter dress embroidered with pearls and antique beads and hand-painted with flowers".
Meanwhile, Danny donned "a red ruffled shirt and tan pants, exchanging simple handwritten vows".

As for how they navigate spending time away from one another, Julia told CBS Mornings that they write each other letters.
"It's something Danny and I have always done," she confessed. "The first letter he ever wrote me, which was seven pages long, I still have it tucked away. One day I'll show it to [my daughter] Hazel and say, 'That's what you're looking for.'"

Following their wedding, Julia and Danny grew their family and are now proud parents to 20-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and son Henry, 18.
