To make a long story short this is what happened.
1. Bought season tickets to Six Flags for Mark and Me.
2. Thought I would surprise him on his birthday with them and we would fly there.
3. Arranged for a Baby sitter.
4. Woke Mark up at 5:00 am on his birthday to surprise him with the news.
5. Flew to California.
6. Spent 2 1/2 hours in LA traffic driving to Six Flags.
7. It was closed because it was raining..(Disney was still open)
8. Spent 2 more hours in the car driving around Santa Monica, trying to find a Mall.
9. Decided to head back towards Long Beach, ending up in Inglewood.
10. Went to the greatest ROSS ever...too bad the line was sooo long to check out. (45 min. wait)
11. Found a Mall .
12. Spent 1 hour driving back to the airport. (which was only 20 miles away...traffic)
13. Got home at 11:30.
Thanks to Mark for letting me think I surprised him (JUSTIN!!!)...Thanks to my babysitter for watching the kids....Thanks to Mother Nature for having it RAIN all day....Thanks to everybody driving in LA.....Thanks to JetBlue for letting us fly for free!!
I have no pictures, since there was NOTHING exciting about the day. No matter what happened it really is a birthday Mark will NEVER forget!
Fun Pictures
