Of course I got sick this past week, most likely due to stress planning for this weekend. So I probably owe my husband a better anniversary night because Tuesday I was so drowsy that I almost passed out on our fancy dinner.
SURPRISE! was this weekend. My mom turned 50 on Friday, and we threw her one heck of a surprise party! One side of my family from Florida has a cabin in a little town called Murphy, North Carolina. But my mom's parents and siblings live in West Virginia so I found a campground for them to stay at, while the family in Florida squeezed into the cabins that we have there.
I thought of a great idea to distract my mom and put together a small photo scavengar hunt for our "shopping" day downtown. Then when we came back everyone had parked their cars down the road and hid behind the garage. People came out one by one from behind the garage saying happy birthday and my mom was not only happy and surprised but was worried that there was no room for everyone to sleep. =D Good thing I took care of that ahead of time.
So we spent the rest of the day and Saturday eating great food and enjoying the outdoors together, which was great weather compared to Florida. The only bad part was that Flo and Zeus got several ticks, but we got them off fast.
So after the drive home Sunday, hubby and I decided to stay in the Ocala area and go tubing since we didn't do much for our anniversary. The beginning of the day ended up being crazy as we broke things trying to back for our trip. Then we decided to do the 5 hour tubing trip, which ended up being way to long. My camera got broken and we are really burnt and tired, but it was a good time.
Rainbow River is clear pretty much the whole way down the river, and we saw otters and fishes kept touching my toes. =)
So glad it was a successful weekend, and my mom didn't expect a thing!!
