Happy Birthday Patty!

So the weekend after my birthday was my friend Patty's birthday. Her husband Al was busy planning a big surprise for her. I kept asking her so what are you doing for your birthday and she would be like...probably nothing. Well one night Al was on the computer working away planning it when she came up and was like what are you doing? He tried to be like nothing trying to divert her attention but it didnt work. She kept pressing and finally he told her. What she didnt know was that he had asked rob and I if we would want to be in on the surprise.
Al's big surprise was he rented 2 condos on the beach in San Diego. Patty went out a few days earlier then everyone else to visit with her family as they all live in California. Al flew in on friday night and we came out the next morning. He had told patty that the airline lost a bag of his and he had to go the next morning to get it. So after Patty's dad and Al picked us up from the airport I started texting patty saying are you haveing a great day. She was like yep taking a walk with Josie on the boardwalk. We went up to the condo and was admiring the view when I looked down and saw patty. I immediately backed up saying crap she is right there I hope she didnt see me. Well Rob took it upon himself to open the door and yell Patty. She looked up and was surprised. I just yelled Surprise! I was hoping to surprise her face to face or something but oh well.
We had the best weekend. Her family stayed in one condo and we stayed with patty, al and josie in the other. It was beautiful. The views were spectacular. We sat one afternoon admiring the wind surfers. Saturday night we went out with Patty's brother Bob. He and his daughter Erin came down that day. We walked around and had a very nice dinner. I think it was a place called the lampost district. It escapes my mind right now. We had a great time. Her brother Bob is great company too! We had a very nice brunch the next day before we came home. I had a great time and am sure that patty had a very special birthday! Who wouldnt with such a thoughtful husband right!
