A few months ago Robert and I got to thinking about going to visit our PA relatives for Easter. It was a great plan, until we realized how involved Robert would be in our church's Easter program. (The program is going to be awesome by the way!) So we decided on a weekend in March. My dad was going in mid March, but Robert got scheduled to work all of that weekend, so we went the weekend before. The Monday before we went to visit we let my Aunt Cathy know about our plan. Other than that, it was a surprise to everyone besides my cousins. We were so pumped for the surprise!
We left Friday after work. It made for a very late night, but it was totally worth. And, although Robert won't admit it, I know one of his favorite qualities of mine is my ability to be very silly on long road trips. :) We rolled in around 1:30am. We stayed with Aunt Cathy that night. At 7:00am we walked over to Grandma and Grandpa's house and just knocked on the front door. Grandpa opened the door and was shocked. It was awesome! He said, "Carol, we have some guests." She still couldn't see us, so we rounded the corner and SURPRISE. It was one one of the best feelings ever. I've never really been a part of a huge surprise like that. We just sat down and ate lunch and enjoyed catching up.
The weekend was super fun - games, tasty food, lots of chatting and laughing. We came back exhausted and happy.
