Amazing day

So. . .

What if your mama called and offered you a day away because she thought you and Gary needed it?
What if you took her up on that offer and decided to surprise your sweetheart because it is fun and because you bombed on his birthday?
What if you did lots of research on-line looking for festivals, fairs, and other places of interest?
What if you remembered how much fun you used to have at Great America together?
What if you decided to go to Michigan Adventure?
What if you made all the plans and then some feel through?
What if you scrambled and put together new pieces that fit so great?
What if when you shared the surprise he looked at you in such a strange way. . . and asks if he'll have to do the water park?  The answer is no.
What if you try out a new restaurant on the way and it is fabulous!
What if you don't have to pay for parking because one of his work cell sites is within walking distance and you celebrate saving ten bucks?
What if you only ride roller coasters. . . and one train ride to get to the other roller coasters?
What if you don't buy one thing inside the park the whole day?
What if you laugh and laugh and sweat a lot and then laugh about that?
What if you imagine taking your kids someday, but are so glad to just have this day together?
What if you only ride in either the very front seat or the very last seat the entire day on every coaster?
What if you enjoy a new restaurant on the way home that makes Chicago Deep Dish Pizza?  Yummm!
What if you come home to every kid sleeping and your house all clean?

That my friends is a pretty cool day and it really happened to me.  Yes indeed.  I love my man.  I love my mama.  I love my kids so much that I wanted to be away from them for a day.  Good stuff.
