Yes, Birthdays in our house are a multi-day event. So, part one of Doug’s birthday took place with a complete surprise up our sleeves. I had told him that he needed to be available from Friday around 3pm to Saturday around 9am. We’d all go away. (wink wink).
We left the house at 3:15 and I told him we had to stop at my mom’s. He had no idea what was about to take place.
When we got there, my mom gave him a task and then we all met in the kitchen. I gave him this card:
He and I would go to Flemings for dinner and then stay the night at the Hilton (for dessert…heh). Tot would stay at Mom’s. He was sideswiped!
All of a sudden, his relaxation quotient flew to outrageous levels.
We had a little champagne on our patio and relaxed before getting ready. (It was a tad chilly out there!)
We got ready, and oh, doesn’t he look fabulous?
And me… He wanted me to pole it.
We sauntered over to our destination. So nice not to drive!
It is so nice to be out to celebrate. We forgot our masks, so they let us have a couple before sitting down.
Then it was a lovely dinner of ahi appetizer, filet, salads and some wine. We had a list of fun questions to ask each other, so we ended up staying for a while and chatting. How refreshing!
Happy Birthday to you, baby!
Back to the room for some dessert. Long overdue!
More to come, honey. (Thank you so much mom for hanging with the Tot and making this possible).
