At Christmas time, myself and a few others, started scheming to plan a surprise for my wonderful aunt Mae's 50th birthday (April 19th). It all started when my mother and Tracey (one of Mae's friends) decided they should plan something for Mae's birthday. They wanted to do something nice for Mae because she's always doing nice things for others. Then my aunt Marian who lives in Calgary decided she wanted in on this surprise and she had already booked vacation time for the week of Mae's 50th birthday. When I heard about all of these plans, I also wanted to take part in the fun! Stephanie, Mae's daughter, was also in the plan and was looking forward to the surprise.
So, I was lucky enough to get an amazing seat sale to go to PEI. We managed to keep the secret for months and the surprise was a success. We showed up at Mae's house early on the Saturday morning before her birthday. She was VERY surprised to see me and Marian! She thought she was going to Moncton for the day with Stephanie but we then informed her to pack a bag because we were taking her to Halifax. She was pretty overwhelmed and it was awesome!
We went to Halifax for the day and night and had a great time. We did a little shopping, went to The Keg for supper, and went to the casino. It was an excellent weekend with many stories and lots of laughs. I am so glad that I go to be there to celebrate Mae's birthday. It was also nice to get away by myself for 5 days, although I did miss Cory and Cameron. The weekend was a whirlwind for me and it took me a few days to get caught up on my sleep.
Now, I'm counting down the days until my next trip with is only 5 weeks and 2 days away. I'm sure the time will fly by and I'll be packing for my next trip to PEI. Cameron and I will be leaving on June 2nd and Cory will join us on June 22nd.
