Surprise weekend

This weekend was a total success, hands down.

Matt and I stayed over at Megan and Scott's one last night (we were house sitting/ dog sitting while they were at the beach) so my original idea to leave a note didn't work. I got up at 6 to knock out my long 12 mile run, which felt good until my garmin died and I had zero motivation to push myself. When I got back Matt was sitting around, so I had to tell him we needed to get moving and that I had a surprise trip planned. Of course he started asking a million questions, so I had to lie a good bit and finally told him he couldn't ask any more questions. 

We rushed around washing sheets, remaking the bed, picking up his truck from the office, and finally made it back home around 10. He asked more questions while packing his bag (he packed more for a weekend trip than our week long honeymoon), then he ran out to get cash since he always wants cash on him when we travel...he had no clue we were heading to Palmetto Bluff which is only 15 mins away from us. 

We had plans for us all to meet for lunch at 12, so we were pretty late. I finally told Matt after we were in the truck headed to the office. He was so excited and genuinely surprised. I was afraid he wouldn't see this weekend as a mini vacation since he works out there every day, but he seemed to have a great deal of fun! We had lunch at Buffalo's, checked out the house, then the boys took off running around doing whatever 29-30 year olds do. The girls stayed in the house and unpacked then sat around chatting. We went to the golf pro shop, rode our bikes around, and just talked a lot that first day. We made appetizers and grilled hamburgers and hotdogs before the UGA game and then sat around the TV yelling all night. I gave up around the 3rd quarter and went to bed.

Sunday morning we got up, made breakfast, then headed to the pool for the day. It was amazing outside and felt so good sipping piña coladas poolside! We had reservations for 6:45 at the Canoe Club so headed home around 5 to get ready. Dinner was ok...I'm not much for fancy food :) Last night was a late one and we didn't get into bed until almost midnight...we're serious party people!

This morning we got up and ate breakfast at Buffalo's before packing up our stuff and parting ways to begin our work week. The boys had lots of fun celebrating with each other and will hopefully do the same for us when we turn 30 in 2015!! They have plenty of time to plan :)

And I shall leave you with a picture of McKenzie, because I laugh out loud when I look at it :)
