surprises are fun

even when they're not for me ;)

the teen is gonna FLIP. i just booked BFF on our flight to hawaii in two weeks. and neither of them knows. whee!

i talked to BFF's mom this morning to see if they might possibly allow us to scoop her up and take her to paradise for a week, and she was so excited at the idea of surprising them both with it. the hub and i were talking last night and knew that the teen would have oodles of fun (yes, i said "oodles") if she had her buddy on the trip, so all we needed was permission to do it.

and wouldn't you know, her airfare is actually cheaper than ours by $50! dang.

but it's done. i don't know how long we're all going to keep it a secret, but i'm thinking perhaps we'll spring it on 'em sometime this week, while the teen's home with us. man alive, they're going to be so. freaking. stoked.

oh, and i called the venues for the jo bros concerts, and was told that non-pro cameras are fine. yay! and to answer sarah's question, the teen's sign says "i'm right here, not in australia" because one of their songs talks about finding their dream girl(s) in the land down under. she ran out room, so it just LOOKS like it says "austria." muahahahahahaha!

  3. That's really great. At her age, it will make the vacay just awesome to have a friend there. Plus, it will put you and the hub off of entertainment duty.
