remember how i surprised dad for a father's day celebration. well, my surprises for this summer didn't stop there. karen's birthday was thursday and i mentioned her love of her birthday. she really wanted me to come visit and kept telling me repeatedly. i, however, couldn't get off work saturday and had to work until 6 so i didn't see the point. but then the weekend before i had a breakthrough. it's just money. who knows what next year will hold and i can make it happen this year. so i booked my tickets.
and we had so much fun!
saturday i called once i got to the airport in st. louis and said, "i'm at the airport. will you come pick me up?" first there were screams and then silence. to the point i had to ask if she was even still there. she said she was in shock.
sunday was fun day!
we sat on her deck enjoying breakfast when she tried to decide what she wanted to do during the day. i brought clothes to be prepared for anything so whatever she decided was a-ok.
she decided on mini-golf so i said ok and went to get my stuff. she called our parents and sometime during that call she changed her mind from mini-golf to the cards game. i was happy with mini-golf, but i was super happy with the game!
it was a great game!
we met up with mom & dad for karen's bday dinner choice, brio, for dinner. I had the penne mediterranean, which was delicious. but i think my favorite thing we had was the bruschetta we had for an appetizer. it was SO good!
we all went to see one day for a movie. this was my first major motion picture theater experience since last august and i can't say i missed it. for one thing. one day is sad. not sure if you are aware of this, but i was not. i go to the movies for happy movies. i'll watch sad movies on my couch for free, not at a theater. karen said it's a book though so i'm going to add it to my library list.
i caught the megabus back this morning. and it was an awesome weekend and i think karen had fun, which was the entire point!
happy bday, karen.
