Easter Weekend we had planned for a couple of months. We wanted to surprise my dad and, we did!
We
are in Charleston area of South Carolina, he is in Harrisburg IL (bout
an hour west of Paducah KY).... all along dad thought my husband and I
were going to head out for a road trip and end up in Florida. Least
that's what we told him...
We headed out Thursday
night after work, drove 1/2 way, slept, and got to Harrisburg about
lunch time... Called dad just to 'check in' - really we wanted to make
sure he was home and hadn't run into town for lunch since we were about 2
driveways down at this point. Yep he was home, in fact he'd just come
in to rest a bit and get some lunch...
PERFECT!!!
Unless
you happen to be looking out the window the drive is far from the house
so you'd not hear or see anyone coming up... we parked up by the barn
and walked up to the house. He rarely gets visitors, unless the cows
are head butting the door for feed (which they do at times) - so he was a
little taken back when he heard knocks... then the look on his face
when he saw us on the other side was priceless (I wish I had my camera
ready).
It was a great long weekend and we were all sad
when it was time to head home. But I thought I'd share some photo's
from out trip there.
