Now, I'm perplexed. Confused. Look at what, I wonder.
When I get to the front door, Dave opens it and standing there in front of me are Ben, Robin and Andy!
I was dumbfounded! All of those dorky reactions that I was planning in my head for the faux-surprise party the night before were gone! I just stood there, staring and confused!
Ben then said, "Surprise! Ready to go to lunch?"
WOW! YIPEEE! Whoop-whoop!
I was so excited! My lunch date with Jennifer was simply a ploy to make sure that I was ready to leave by a certain time. We piled up in Andy's truck and headed off to Sacramento!
I was so proud of them! They had a plan and everything! Pick me up and cart me off! I love it!
Ben picked a restaurant in Old Sac, California Fats. Jennifer and her husband, Josh, met us there. They walked into restaurant wheeling an ice chest! Peculiar, I thought, but maybe they bought fish. Josh cooks, so that made sense to me. I was just thrilled to be eating in a quant little restaurant I had never before been to!
We had an absolutely pleasant lunch where I reveled in the thrill and happiness of being surprised! Then, we left the restaurant to walk around Old Sac...or so I thought!
As soon as we stepped foot on the sidewalk outside of California Fats, a Limo Bus passed us and caught our eye. It looked cool. We surmised about who was getting picked up in Old Sac in a Limo Bus. Jennifer mentioned that she would like to peek inside of one. She had one for her wedding guests (as transportation from the hotel to the wedding) but never got to see the inside of it. So, Josh proclaimed, "I'll get us on the bus!"
Now, Josh is the type of guy who would walk right up to the Limo Bus, start taking to the driver, and try to get us a looksy. Some of us, Jenn, Andy and myself, get a little shy in these situations; but, I thought Josh was just joking and so I laughed at his joke. Then, the next thing I know, he starts crossing the street and walks towards the Limo Bus...and everybody just follows him! At this point, Jennifer, who is nicknamed "the Shhhhsh Monster" because she gets embarrassed when we get too loud or draw too much attention to ourselves, gets a little excitement in her tone and says, "Ooh, lets follow him and see if we can get a look."
At this point I think 2 things. First of all, I wondered when the heck did Jennifer blow caution to the wind and second, I'm thinking, there's no way I'm gonna follow! So, I promptly did a 180 and walked back to the rest of the group!
The next part, the next part is a total blur!
Somehow, they got me on the Limo Bus. The Limo Bus that they rented and arranged for us to ride around Sacramento! SURPRISE!
I couldn't believe it! Two surprises in one day! I was the luckiest girl in the world that day! Never in a million years did I see that one coming!
Here's us inside the Limo Bus...what's in the cooler you wonder...
The fixins' for chocolate martinis! Complete with chocolate sauce on the sides! Oh yeah!
And, just when I thought the day couldn't get any better, the Limo Bus took us to Leatherbees, which only serves the best hot fudge sundaes in the world! (This is the dorkiest picture of me ever; but, it's for you guys, only for you! It didn't help that I had already had 2 chocolate martinis by this point!)
Ben, Robin, Andy, Jennifer and Josh...from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
