Let the Birthday Celebration Begin!

Certainly 2 weeks out is not too soon to start my husband's 70th birthday celebration. It began yesterday with a trip to the car dealership to lease a new car. As my dad said, "What is a 70 year old doing running around in a 14 year old car?" So off to the car dealer to lease a 2016 Ford Escape. The car is sunset, the interior black and grey. It has features--a rear sensor, heated front seats, voice activation, eco boost. He can't wait to pick the car up today and surprise the guys at work. He still doesn't know that our eldest daughter is flying in on Oct 8th. I suggested that he get the afternoon of Oct 9 and the day of his birthday, Oct 10 off. I accidently let slip that we were going on a trip because he tricked me! He said, "I hope we are not going on a trip to Alaska." I did okay for half a minute and then thoughtlessly told him. "No, our trip..." Stopped, but now he knows that there is a trip in the works, but is mulling over what the trip could be.
