Matt and I try to take turns planning a date for us once a month. So his last "transportation themed" date is going to be hard to beat. The surprises started as soon as I stepped into our van and realized he had completely cleaned it. . .inside and out, including all those hard to get grooves where nasty food remenants like to hang out. Now I love having a clean car, especially on the inside, but cleaning it is way on the bottom of my priority list so clean is not a word that I usually associate with our van. Then we head to one of my favorite restaurants. . .India Palace. . .a great Indian restaurant on the top floor of a hotel by the airport. So while enjoying great Indian food (one of my favorites!) and conversation we watch the planes take off and land from the airport. . .and for those of you who don't know this. . .I could watch airplanes all day long and never get bored. Then, when it is time to head home, Matt suggests I wait in the hotel lobby while he gets the car. After a few minutes I hear all kinds of racket from the parking lot and up drives Matt in our van, with tin cans tied to the back and messages written in shoe polish all over the windows and a van filled with balloons! Little did I know that our friend Corey had followed us to the restaurant and helped to pull off this part of the surprise. From there we headed home and the transportation theme continued as we watched Apollo 13. . .a favorite for both of us. Matt, I hope the next date I plan is at least half as fun as this was! Thanks for all your thoughtfulness! I love you!
