Rich and I took off last weekend to Connecticut for a surprise birthday for his mom. It was great - she was so surprised! We flew in on the red-eye, overnight, on Thursday, arriving about 9:30 a.m. We headed from Hartford to Lebanon to Rich's brother Brian, and his wife Jill's, hous
e. After a nap and relaxing we went to dinner where we met Rich's aunts/uncles - his mom's brother and sister and their spouses - for dinner. It was great to see them, they are such fun and wonderful people! They are all from MI and Marty had no idea they were coming in either. The next day Rich and I went for a run - what a pleasure to run at sea level!!! We ran on this BEAUTIFUL rail trail for an hour. The trail is surrounded by marshes and woods and was really amazing - makes me realize how much I miss the trees and woods of
MI. It
was an awesome run and we both really enjoyed it. Then... to Rich's parents house to set up decorations and wait for his mom to arrive. We all hid in the dining room when she came in and surprised her. What a hoot! I have never had a surprise party turn out so ... surprising!! Marty was seriously shocked and elated. It was awesome. We hung out for a while at the house and then went to a really nice dinner in Mystic. We visited the next day as long as we could, then caught our flight home. A whirlwind visit, but definitely fun and worth it! Happy Birthday Marty!
