Surprise!

Last weekend, I took a surprise trip to Indiana for my Dad's 50th birthday. My step-sister, Amanda, and I planned the trip to surprise both my dad and step-mom, Marilynn. We planned it in conjunction with a surprise party that they had planned for him that weekend. His actual birthday isn't until Christmas day (yeah, lucky him), so the plan was to have the party earlier so he wouldn't suspect anything. Not only did he not suspect a party, but he was stunned to see me there! The reactions were great. Coincidentally, the weekend turned out to be the biggest snowfall they've had all season. Thankfully, it didn't interfere with any of my travel plans.
