Birthday Fun

Jeff completely surprised me by taking me to Niagara Falls for my birthday. I STILL can't believe he managed to arrange all of details (including packing everything for all of us, arranging a babysitter & taking things for Ryleigh over there days ahead of time, etc.) & still "keep me in the dark" until we were almost there! It was pretty funny because I thought we were going some place fairly nearby (I had a couple of guesses that were completely wrong). I tried not to say too much, but I was rather perplexed when we crossed the New York line & even more so when we kept driving & driving. It was starting to get towards late afternoon & I kept thinking "If we don't there soon, we won't have much time before we have to turn around & go home." Finally, I saw a sign that declared Niagara Falls to be about 76 miles away. I jokingly said, "I know - we're going to Niagara Falls!" Jeff immediately said, "Yep!" But I was just sure that he was just saying that to throw me off, so I didn't believe him. Then, we started talking about Niagara Falls & Jeff mentioned that he would enjoy going back again "someday" (wink, wink). After awhile, I got to thinking about the fact that this conversation reminded me of the time he took me to Sight & Sound & tried to make me think we were going somewhere else. So... I started getting suspicious. Not long afterward, he finally confessed that we were indeed going to Niagara Falls. I really was shocked, because it was the LAST thing I expected for my birthday! Anyhow... we had a blast & it was a lot of fun!
