One of my brothers and I had the best idea to surprise our other brother on his 60th birthday. So, bright and early on Sunday morning we start out on a 400+ mile jaunt across the state for supper. We were blessed with decent roads and weather and the smiles, hugs and "what are you doing here" made it worth the trip. We had a nice visit and good food (of course) and beautiful scenery with the snow-covered mountains and trees. He's on his way to the state legislature so we had a lot to talk about.
Some may think it crazy to make that trip for just an overnight stay, but we don't get together often enough and you never know how many more of those moments you'll get. My brother is one of the most wonderful people I know, and I'm not just saying that because he's my brother. He's smart, kind, sensible, and a no-nonsense kind of person (it's genetical), and I love spending time with him and his family.
The bonus was spending time on the road with another brother and helping him Christmas shop for his wife. We think we travel well together so may have to be planning another road trip! Love you guys!!
Wish I could have been there. Alan IS the best big brother!!! I'm glad you guys did this for him. I'm sure it made him feel special.
