Yesterday we had a little fun trip to surprise Leslie’s dad on his retirement day.  They live a short drive away.  I think the round trip total was 321 miles.

We left early about 6:20am and when we got into town we picked up a bunch of balloons and then headed over to their house.  We rang the doorbell, and the look on her mom’s face was priceless.  It was a fun day.   We went out to lunch and sat around most of the day just listening to some of his stories from the past.  It was a good day.  We headed on home about 6:15pm.  Leslie and just chatted our way home.  We talked about church, her co-worker who was looking at engagement rings, and my soccer team and their game this weekend. We arrived home about 8:45pm.

It was a long, long day but very well worth it.
