So then Sunday...
Then Sunday...
Well we had a surprise party for our friend Patty, actually her boyfriend planned it and we just participated in the whole thing. Well really it all started on saturday, he suggested they go to the botanical gardens and while they were near the sunflowers walks into the flower beds and feigns finding a ring and proposes to her. (it's really a better story than this and hopefully she'll post it here as a comment)
Now Sunday we have no idea he has proposed to her yet, but we know we are going on a surprise cruise on the american rover. But we needed a ploy to get her downtown near the boat. So we talk and I come up with the idea for a picnic at the pagoda. Which would have been great had it not rained a little bit. But then we took shelter under the pagoda and it was just as much fun, maybe even more so.
Well there we are all are sweating the fact that it is raining and that might put a damper on the cruise when just in the nick of time it stops raining.
Yea! So I suggest we go down to the waterside for some Ben & Jerry's and the ruse is back in full effect. Off we go to waterside to get some ice cream (wink wink nudge nudge) Well we get to Waterside via a pit stop at the Schooner Virginia which pulls up next to the Pagoda ?!? Any port in a storm I guess, as it has only stopped raining. So we get to waterside and we are stuffed so no real room for ice cream, so we wander out the back door to go look at the American Rover, just to see the difference between the schooner Virginia and the American Rover (wink wink nudge nudge) and there sitting on a park bench with a large birthday looking present, is one of our friends that wasn't at the picnic. What he is doing here with a present, on PAtty's birthday. Hmmmm suspicious, oh well now Patty is on the look-out trying to figure it all out. But lucky for us we are only minutes from getting on the rover to go on the cruise. And she has still to figure out the whole thing. So we walk down to the Rover and SURPRISE! a bunch of people jump out from behind the ticket booth and then SURPRISE! Patty tells everyone that Sam has proposed to her and now they are engaged. So everybody got a good surprise and then we had a nice cruise on the American Rover.
I could go on to tell you about the cruise but instead I'll just post a couple of photos.
